[Intro]
C Dm F C G G7
C Dm F C G G7
[Verse 1]
C Dm F G
Well once I met a girl who had my measure from the start
C Dm F G
She tied me up in knots and then she tore me clean apart
C Dm F G
And I laid with her for years and years but I never knew her heart
G7
For all I tried
[Verse 2]
C Dm F G
And the life we had was fiction, it was a lie she told me well
C Dm F G
Advertising Heaven as the price you pay for Hell
C Dm F G
And I tried to make her feel my love long before Adele
G7
Oh how I tried
[Chorus]
F C G Am
And we put Zimmermann on Spotify and listened as he talked
F C G Am
About how he gave that girl his heart but she wanted his soul
F C G Am
And I never understood that line, it didn't make no sense
F G
But when she went, I saw what Bob Dylan meant
[Interlude]
C Dm F C G G7
C Dm F C G G7
[Verse 3]
C Dm F G
And once I knew a woman who broke just like a little girl
C Dm F G
Took our love and built with it a perfect little world
C Dm F G
And I still look back every day and wonder why it didn't work
G7
For all we tried
[Verse 4]
C Dm F G
And we gave it every inch of us and every ounce of love
C Dm F G
But even Dylan knows that sometimes love just ain't enough
C Dm F G
And baby tangled up in blue is all we ever ended up
G7
For all we tried
[Chorus]
F C G Am
But I think I could have loved her till I knocked on Heaven's door
F C G Am
And she'll always be the one who gives me shelter from the storm
F C G Am
But you know, in the end it ain't me babe she was looking for
F G C Dm F
And I saw what Bob Dylan thought
C G G7
What Bob Dylan thought, yeah
[Interlude]
C Dm F C G G7
C Dm F C G G7
[Outro]
C Dm F G
What we break at every heart is just the start of some new art
C Dm F G
So when you build yourself together out of broken shattered parts
C Dm F G
Just remember that for every scar you took on a bad day
C Dm F G
You know you'll always be somebody eleses one that got away
C Dm F G
Yeah you're changing and you're growing even if you don't quite know it
C Dm F G
And every tear is worth it's salt yeah, if it makes of you a poet
C Dm F G
So be grateful for the ones who blew away your best laid plans
C Dm F G
Through those levels you discovered with each touch of trembling hands
F G C Dm F
You understand what Bob Dylan sang
C G G7
What Bob Dylan sang yeah
C Dm F
What Bob Dylan sang
C G
What Bob Dylan sang yeah
F C
And I think I understand
