Intro: D A G A D A G A
Verse 1:
D
I've got an ice-cold cup of coffee
A
And a paper I havn't read
Bm
A canyon in my heart
G
And a hammer in my head
D A
And a waitress with an empty stare
Em G
That looks right through me
D
I'm sitting at this table
A
And I'm balancing the salt
Bm
Weighing out my choices
G
Baby, It's nobodys fault
D A
And I'm torn up by these voices
Em G
Talking to me
A
You say there's no good reason for me to walk away
G
You say there's so much good between us who would'nt wanna to stay
A
But how can I be with you if deep down I believe
G A
I'll loose a part of me
Chorus:
D A G D Bm Em G
Sometimes goodbye is the only open door
D A G D Bm F#m
I can't turn back when I know there's something more
G A D A G A D A G A
I gotta find what my heart beats for
Verse 2:
D
I've got a half a page of reasons
A
And a napkin full of tears
Bm
From trying to pull my spirit
G
Through the pocket of my fears
D A
As the lunch croud emptys out
Em G
Into the city
D
And there may not be a way for me
A
To make you understand
Bm
I'll write down the words I'm feeling
G
And I'll leave it in your hands
D A
But the memories of our love
Em G
I'm taking with me
A
You say there's no good reason for me to walk away
G
You say we're meant to be together and I'm making a mistake
A
But this emptiness inside me has brought me to this road
G A
And I have to let you go
Repeat Chorus
