Tom: B

B                  G#m       E                B
'Cause my arms would die without your hands to lift
B        G#m             E        B
And your arms will lie parallel to his
B            G#m         E       F#      B
And I won't be fooled as long as I don't hear
B         G#m
That you have been whispering
      E                  B
Sweet nothings in his ear

                 E                  B
And one of these days he'll screw up
              F#                G#m F#
And oh, you'll question the love
              E                 B
And I will be waiting there for you
          F#
To wander back
                   E              B     F#
'Cause you deserve more than that
       G#m         E              B      F#
'Cause you deserve more than that

B                     G#m
You'll pardon his thinking
        E                      B
All the fights he dragged you through
B                    G#m
And I learned of his shortcomings
        E              F#
When I got to lie with you

E             B
The ways that we differ
    G#m      F#     E
And ways you can begin
B                 E
To bring back the green in your eyes
    G#m               B
The sadness from your skin

                 E                  B
And one of these days you'll grow up
            F#              G#m
And oh, you'll question a love
              E                   B
That never fulfilled you from the start
              F#
It won't take long to mend a broken heart
        E               B    F#
Deserves more than that
                E               B        F#
'Cause it deserves more than that

                  E
You'll wait for a break
         F#      G#m
Then the morning comes
                    E
And it feels like a burning
B                   E  F#
Burning such of the sun
              E      B    F#
It feels like broken glass

The shot of a gun

                 E                B
And one of these days he'll screw up
                F#            G#m  F#
And oh, you'll question the love
              E                 B
And I will be waiting there for you
          F#
To wander back

                 E                B
And one of these days you'll grow up
              F#            G#m  F#
And oh, you'll question a love
              E                 B
It never fulfilled you from the start
              F#                      E   B   F#  G#m
It won't take long to mend a broken heart
                E            B    F#
'Cause you deserve more than that

           E            B   F#  G#m
You deserve more than that
           E            B   F#
You deserve more than that
