Verse 1:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
I remember thinking the Marlboro man
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
would be the man of my dreams
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
His dirty boots strung all across my living room
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
A augmentedA real life hero should come and rescue me
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
From a tin roof in a one horse town where I couldn't tell if anything else existed
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
I was trapped and he got out of every scrap that he got into
FF C majorC G+G
And I was over here missing it

It seemed like the only way to cope, but it never really helped

And all these bars are full of strangers lives
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
Like they came right out of a song

And I've let a few put their boots beneath my bed
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
I never let em' stay there long

Just when nights are kinda cold and I don't know that I can handle feeling like that again

So I reach for the comfort of someone so unfamiliar across my skin

Just searching for something I couldn't resist, it never really helped

Show me a tall dark stranger and I, I show you a liar
FF C majorC G+G FF C majorC
Hand me the world on a string and I, I'll set it on fire
Bridge:
FF C majorC G+G FF C majorC G+G
You wouldn't believe all the things I saw behind those curtains

You wouldn't believe all the things I drank to keep it from hurting
FF C majorC G+G FF C majorC G+G
You wouldn't believe all the hearts I left broken and scattered

You wouldn't believe the price you'll pay for happy ever after

You wouldn't believe all the things I told myself, I saw myself, I showed myself, mmm...
