F Am
[Verse 1]
F Am
I wrote my story in the sand
F Am
Walked away in shoes that were second hand
F Am
I put my pain inside a box
F Am
I'll feel it later when I finally change the locks
[Verse 2]
F Am
Yeah, I watched ‘em drop like flies
F Am
Like dominoes falling across my mind
F Am
Gonna need a better place to hide
F Am
'Cause nothing's safe here, nothing is alright
[Chorus]
C G
All these years it was me and you
Am F
You were the dynamite and I was the fuse
C G
If you're gonna make me pick and choose
Am F
I know that I'm gonna have to cut you loose
[Verse 3]
F Am
I threw the apple as far as I could see
F Am
Yeah, there's no shade here under the family tree
F Am
Yeah, there's no use crying here alone
F Am
We both know where they buried the bones
[Chorus]
C G
All these years it was me and you
Am F
You were the dynamite and I was the fuse
C G
If you're gonna make me pick and choose
Am F
I know that I'm gonna have to cut you loose
C G
Hello pain my oldest friend
Am F
You'd wrap your arms around me to the bitter end
C G
If you're gonna make me pick and choose
Am F
I know that I'm gonna have to cut you loose
[Interlude]

Am F
[Verse 4]
F Am
I've been running since I was seven years old
F Am
Dug a hole to China, reached the California sands
F Am
I put my pain inside a box
F Am
I guess I'll finally put it in some bigger hands
[Chorus]
C G
All these years it was me and you
Am F
You were the dynamite and I was the fuse
C G
If you're gonna make me pick and choose
Am F
I know that I'm gonna have to cut you loose
C G
Hello pain my oldest friend
Am F
You'd wrap your arms around me to the bitter end
C G
But I won't wear you for a noose
Am F
You know that I'm gonna have to cut you loose
