Whatever You Do

View chords used in this chart
Verse
G D G
If I don't owe you a favor you don't know me
C G
I don't believe we've ever even met
Em D C
If there's a god in heaven you can show me
C D*
And I guess I should admit I lost the bet
 
C D* G
There are moments I could hold you forever
Em D C
And there are moments that lasted way too long
G C D*
There are days I've changed with the weather
C
To hold you in place would be wrong
 
Cadd9 D* G
There's a road left behind me that I'd rather not speak of
Em D C
And a hard one ahead of me too
G C D*
I love you whatever you do
C
But I've got a life to live too
 
G C G
I never met a morning I could get through
Em D C
With nothing on my breath to hold the night
G C D*
And I never said I'm sorry but I meant to
C
I never met a coward I don't like
 
C D* G
There are reasons why a body stays in motion
Em D C
But at the moment only demons come to mind
G C D*
There are days I could walk into the ocean
C
With no one else but you to leave behind
 
Cadd9 G D
There's a road left behind me that I'd rather not speak of
Em D C
And a hard one ahead of me too
G C D*
I love you whatever you do
C
But I've got a life to live too
 
Cadd9 G D
There's a road left behind me that I'd rather not speak of
Em D C
And a hard one ahead of me too
G C D*
I love you whatever you do
C Em
But I've got a life to live too
 
G C D
I love you whatever you do
Cadd9
But I've got a life to live too
