F#
In the valley
C#
And my heart sinks
A#
There'll be no strings
F#
I'm worth nothing
F#
When the sad wind
C#
From the night said
A#
Help me pretend
F#
that you'll sin
F#
In the dark space
C#
The touch of your soft face
A#
In front of a fireplace
F#
Would you believe me
F#
If the phone rings
C#
Tell him nothing
A#
Or maybe one thing
F#
That hell is coming
G# A# F# D#
Cause he waisted your ti - me

In a year you'll be mi - ne

G# A# F#
No, you don't fare well without me
F#
When I feel numb
C#
From your answer
A#
I take a kinder
F#
Appreciate your kin, girl
F#
If the glove fits
C#
Above the tool box
A#
You'll hear a pin drop
F#
At the sound of my thoughts
F#
Now the pain cries
C#
Down a cheek it dries
A#
Oh, the pink sky
F#
And back little white lies
F#
When my eyes sting
C#
Where my heart sinks
A#
There will be no strings
F#
We're drinking lightning
