Intro: Dm F C
Dm
Tongue is sharp
F
Got an ax to grind
C
Girls go wrong, men go right after them
Dm F
I don't win and it's a compromise
C
You'll be the loser that pays the dividend
D
Far from you you'll find me
F
Such an easy target and a tragedy
D
You're just a shiver looking for a spine
C Dm F C
You can have your way, but you can't have mine
Dm F
If I had one wish you'd go away
C
I haven't slept yet, but I'm on the brink of it
Dm F
And I'm not as dumb as the look on your face
C
You'll never be half the man your mama is
D
Overloaded by the way you talk
F
A hairpin trigger that I can't stop
D
Empty words taking up my time
C
And you can have your way
Dm
But you can't have mine
Dm F
Cause every shot baby it feels like a resurrection
C Bb
I'm looking for affection at the bottom of a bottle again
Dm F
You show up and it starts another chain reaction
C
Oh but I can't tell if it's you or the drink
It's too hard to know
*stop*
Cause it hurts to think
Dm F C
D
Far from you you'll find me

You're just a shiver looking for a spine

You can have your way, but you can't have mine

Cause every shot baby it feels like a resurrection

I'm looking for affection at the bottom of a bottle again

You show up and it starts another chain reaction

Oh but I can't tell if it's you or the drink
It's too hard to know

Cause it hurts to think

Yeah it hurts to think
