View chords used in this chart
Intro: Am F C G
verse 1:
Am F
Take a little time just to make your face
C G
It's a big day, and this house has changed
Am F
Can't take no more, time to cut and run
C G
This all began when you were both so young
Em F
You're feeling kinda lost with no one to blame
C G
Except a lonely heart and the mess it made
Em F
There used to be a tone in the words she'd say
C G E
It was beautiful but it's gone away
Chorus:
F C
Leave a little love so I can take with me
G
Part of you that can help me be
Am
More than these hollow bones
verse 2:
Realize now what a sad mistake
So easily done, so easily faked
Is there another man, she slaps your face
You know thoughts like these rarely carry grace
You just want to know how you fell so far
When life with her never was that hard
Chorus x2
Instrumental break: Dm Em Dm Em F E Am
verse 3:
You see her now and you're filled with pain
You love the girl, but you cant make her stay
Feeling kinda lost and she has your name
She'll keep the word but it's not the same
Chorus x4
