Capo 2
Intro - Em
Cadd9 G
And I walk into your house
Cadd9 D
And I walk into your room
Cadd9 G
It's so cold in here that I can't stare
Cadd9 D
I can't even move
Cadd9 G
If you're wanting me to leave
Cadd9 D
Get me up off of my knees
Cadd9 G
I'd do anything for you to see
Cadd9 D
This is not about me
(Chorus)
Em
Oh Emily
Cadd9 G
You're so tall and lovely
Cadd9 G
Yeah, and if you're thinking of me
D Cadd9
I was hoping that you'd hold me for a little while
G A7sus4 Cadd9
Cause I've been feeling sad
G A7sus4 Cadd9
Yeah, I've been feeling sad
Cadd9 G
There's an Indian in the corner
Cadd9 D
And he offers me a smoke
Cadd9 G
I don't understand his language
Cadd9 D
I can't heal this heart you broke
Cadd9 G
So I take the cure, but I'm not sure
Cadd9 D
of this messed up medicine man
Cadd9 G
He gives me a wink, and as I sink
Cadd9 D
Will you understand?
(Chorus)
Bridge- Em G Em D
