Nothing left to say

I used to wake up every day
Bb
Thinkin' back
C
On what I should've said

I put my trust

In a rifle full of rust

And the holding of it

Had to turn my hands red

Thought I'd never

Cross my heart with another

Up until the time
Am C
I met you yester-day

Forget about the time

And the faith I left behind

Sad to say my luck went wrong
C G/B
I made a plan
Am Am/G
For a castle made from sand
D
But you can't build close
G
To where the tide comes rollin'

I thought I'd never

Cross my heart with another

Up until the time

I saw you, mama, yester-day
