Before You Go
View chords used in this chart
G
I drink coffee in the kitchen
Cadd9 G
As she slams the bedroom door
Cadd9 G
She had enough of me
D
And she sure did let me know
Cadd9 G
Oh the silence spoke out loud and clear
D Em
Heard a tear hit the floor from here
Cadd9 G D
Oh I can sure feel my stubborn ways
chorus:
C G
Oh the things I do to prove I'm right
D Em
Break her heart just to watch her cry
Cadd9 G D
Leave her stranded on an island all alone
C G
I cant stand it when I'm wrong
D Em
Being right aint worth the cost
Cadd9 D G
Because sometimes a battle won is a battle lost
G
You always tell me that you love me
Cadd9 G
With conviction in your eyes
Cadd9 G
You're my best friend, my biggest fan
D
You were always on my side
Cadd9 G
And the more I sit here all alone
D Em7
The more this sad disgrace runs through my bones
Cadd9 G D
It cuts just deep enough to realize
chorus
Em G
Well nobody in the world really wants to lose
Cadd9 G
Yeah but whats the point admitting
Em D
If I can't win with you
