Tom: F
[Intro] F Am F Am
F Am F Am
Bb Dm
I know a girl with cuts on her legs
A Bb
I think that she hates the way she was made
A Bb
But we never spoke of why they were there
Dm Bb
I just squeezed them and kissed them
F C
Until we both felt a bit better
( F Am F Am )
Bb Dm
And now I've returned to the town where she dwells
A Bb
That small lonely cabin her grandfather built
A Bb
Suppose that's where she's imprisoned herself
Dm Bb F C
To write all those words she's too scared to tell
Dm Bb F C
Those sad, short stories of a girl curled up in her shell
( F Am F Am )
Dm A Bb F
Night and day she tends to her bar
Bb F C F
She pours the drinks, they pour out their hearts
Dm A Bb F
All that sorrow and alcohol
Bb F
weighs hard on her thoughts
Bbm
So she writes them down, she loves them all
( F Am F Am )
( F Am F Am )
Bb Dm
And when we'd make love, she'd stare in my eyes
A Bb
I swore we had met a thousand times
A Bb
Thousands of lives, thousands of nights
Dm Bb F C
She's written of it a thousand lines
Dm A Bb F
Night and day she tends to her bar
Bb F C F
She pours me a drink for my parched heart
Dm A Bb F
All my sorrows in alcohol
Bb F Bbm
She holds up the cup to my cracked lips, for a kiss
( F Am F Am )
( F Am F Am )
( F )
