Tethered

Richard Walters


Tom: Dm

Dm                                       F
I’ve shivered out a thousand thoughts of you
             C 
And no one else
    Dm                              F
I found the weight of words to be too much
           C
And not enough somehow

Dm                                     F
I’m tethered to the ground you left me on
             C
I sleep it away
Dm                                          F
I’ll twist the knife for you just one more time
                   C
I’ll say I never knew you

G
I’ve got the way to make it right, I
Am           F                        C
Put you out of my mind And out of my life
G
I’ve got the way to make it right, I
Am          F                         C
Put you out of my mind And out of my life

Dm                                         F
Should a man be ruled by questions he can’t answer
            C
An unspoken silence
Dm                                         F
Pretend the storm will bring this house of cards down
                    C
And there’s no rebuilding


Dm                                             F
And the trees come down, the windows fall to pieces
                  C
These walls are crumbling
Dm                                                  F
And the rain, it comes inside our house and we’re soaking
                C
I think we’re done for


G
I’ve got the way to make it right, I
Am       F                            C
Put you out of my mind And out of my life
G
I’ve got the way to make it right, I
Am        F                           C
Put you out of my mind And out of my life
    F        Am       F
My life, my life, my life
    C        F        Am       F     
My life, my life, my life, my life

C                            F
I’m never coming back here again, no
         Am               F 
You can talk but I won’t listen
C                            F    Am     F
I’m never coming back here again, no Oh, no

G
I’ve found the way to make it right, I
Am           F                         C
Put you out of my mind And out of my life
G
I’ve got the way to make it right, I
Am           F                        C 
Put you out of my mind And out of my life
