Intro chord - A
(verse)
A Esus4
When I walk out on our war,
F#m
The last shot fired is a slammin' door,
Dadd9
I can't take it anymore, and just take a drive,
(verse 2)

When the words that I just spoke,
F#m
Ran straight for your throat,

When I should hold you but I don't,
And just turn out the light,
(chorus)
A
Doesn't mean I'm done,
E
Doesn't mean I'm givin up on us,
A Dm
Doesn't mean our love doesn't mean everything,
F#m
Cause it does, It doesn't mean I'm gone,
E A D-Dm
Even when I do the things that I hate that I do,

It doesn't mean I don't love you,
(verse 3)
When the words you don't mean cross my lips,
When I forget a goodbye kiss,
When you feel last on my list,
For the hundredth time,
(verse 4)
When I'm out late with all my friends,
Lose track of time and don't check in,
When I'm wrong and I know I am,
And don't apologize,
(chorus)

More than I'd let it show,
