Chords with lyrics
I'm sorry the placement of the chords are a little off in the tab. I couldn't get
them to line up exactly right.
Capo: 5
G+G
I should have been careless, I should have been callous
C majorC
underneath the street lamp's sodium glare
G+G
I should have been thorough, I should have pushed you back your stubborn heart
C majorC
and left you once and forever there
E minorEm
but I kissed you
D/F#D/F# G+G
I smiled as I said goodbye
E minorEm
and I meant what I said
C majorC D MajorD
this is a rough road you wed
G+G
I'm sitting here in Dallas, in a dive in Texas
C majorC
with an ache like a forearm for the spoon
G+G
I am peeling back the labels, I'm spinning empty bottles on the bar
C majorC
lonely litters the room
E minorEm
and I miss you
D/F#D/F# G+G
even more than you warned I would
E minorEm
this is a bitch of a test
C majorC D MajorD
this is my white flag at best
(no guitar on album - E minorEm)
step up, be brave, lay down you guard
give in an inch, give up your heart
E minorEm A augmentedA
just imagine how it'll feel if I let you take me home
C majorC
just imagine waking up sorry and alone
D MajorD
with my head upon your chest
C majorC
with my hand across my mouth
D MajorD C majorC
there are things in life I swore that I could live and do without
D MajorD D MajorD
but I swear that was before you found me
G+G
I couldn't be careless, I couldn't be callous
C majorC
on the night of our fourth of July
G+G
I couldn't be thorough, I couldn't push you back your stubborn heart
C majorC
underneath the roman candle light
E minorEm
now I miss you
D/F#D/F# G+G
even more though I swore I never could
E minorEm
this is a bitch of a test
C majorC
this is my white flag at best
D/F#D/F# G+G
of all the pretty places that I've been
E minorEm
honey none compare to you
C majorC D MajorD
I am sorry through and through oooh aaah
C majorC D MajorD
Ooh aah aaah aah aah
A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD G+G
Oooh oh ooh and if you'll have me I am coming home to you.
