Capo on 4th
Intro: C
Verse 1:
C
I took in the most that I could
Am
I never imagined that I would be feeling so misunderstood
G C
I’m just following lines
You race in my mind like a car
Am
You’ve beaten my heart so damn farther
And now I’ve been pacing the wall
Dm
Cause you’re under my hood
G
Never thought I could love you no never
Dm
Never thought that I would
G
Ever try to be anything better
[Refrão] F C
My heart’s beating better alone
Dm Am G
And if it is broke why let you know?
F C
This heart’s not your skipping stone
Dm Am G
If I’m sinking water than why even bother
F C G
Just leave it alone
This heart’s not your skipping stone
Verse 2 (the same chords as verse 1)
So maybe I should settle down
Find a new man let him throw my whole world around
All his blueberry lies
I know there isn’t a rule
Was left in the dust never was taught in school
I’m a lovesick fool
Never knew that you could just hold me hostage
I’m losing my cool
Through the pain somehow don’t want you to stop it
[Refrão]
My heart’s beating better alone
And if it is broke why let you know?
This heart’s not your skipping stone
If I’m sinking water than why even bother
Leave it alone
This hearts not your skipping stone
Bridge:
Am F
All the time
C
I never let you in
G
Was a lie
Am
I wasn’t letting you win
F
And all the days
C
You let me cry
G
Was a lie
[Refrão]
My heart’s beating better alone
And if it is broke why let you know?
This heart’s not your skipping stone
If I’m sinking water why even bother
Just leave it alone
And if it is broke why let you know?
This heart’s not your skipping stone
If I’m sinking water why even bother?
Just leave me alone
This heart’s not your skipping stone
