Tom: C
F C
The first night I should've left you,
Am G
Before I shut my eyes,
F C G
I prayed to God I'd wake up somewhere else.
F C
When the mornin' came to find me,
Am G
You were sleepin' there beside me,
F C G
I wondered if this nightmare ever ends…
(same for the rest of the song!!)
F C
The door was left wide open,
Am G F
And the neighbors, they were smokin' in the afternoon,
C G
To pass away the time.
F C
You looked at me so cold and said,
Am G
"This house is not my home,"
F C G
I wish you knew how true that felt most nights.
F C
Is it bitterness or sympathy,
Am G
That keeps you standin' here with me?
F C G
I'm not sure how much more I can take.
F C
'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind,
Am G
To sit here with you wastin' time,
F C G
And now I think I'd like to walk away.
F C
I was standing in Ohio,
Am G
On the 28th of March,
F C G
With a guitar and a suitcase in my hands.
F C
When the wind, it stole my cap,
Am G
Lord, all I could do was laugh,
F C G
And thank the stars I'm still a drinkin' man.
F C
Is it bitterness or sympathy,
Am G
That keeps you standin' here with me?
F C G
I'm not sure how much more I can take.
F C
'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind,
Am G
To sit here with you wastin' time,
F C G
And now I think I'd like to walk away.
F C
I was walkin' in a graveyard,
Am G
Where no one that I know rests,
F C G
Thinkin' maybe I could clear my head.
F C
And on the cemetery breeze,
Am G
I heard a song about belief,
F C G
Sung with a thunder I can't understand.
F C
Is it bitterness or sympathy,
Am G
That keeps you standin' here with me?
F C G
I'm not sure how much more I can take.
F C
'Cause I have sacrificed my peace of mind,
Am G
To sit here with you wastin' time,
F C G
And now I think I'd like to walk away.
