Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Half-step down

This song is tuned a whole step down. He plays the B7B7 how I show below but you can either mute the last
string, play it open, use the second fret, or just don't strum it at all. Pretty sure he's not using the
last string though.

Verse 1:
G+G  B7B7 E minorEm       G+G  B7B7 E minorEm
     Darlin don't go
            G+G     B7B7 E minorEm
Don't leave me out here on my own
      C majorC                C7C7
I'm in the space between the spaces and it ain't what I was made
G+G  B7B7 E minorEm             G+G  B7B7 E minorEm
for,    I think by now I should know
     C majorC               C7C7
As if it made me more a man if I could stand the wasted gamble of our
G+G  B7B7 E minorEm  G+G  B7B7 E minorEm
days
     C majorC
They say places to hunt just like places to hide, but getting harder to keep and still harder to find
     G+G    B7B7 E minorEm   G+G  B7B7 E minorEm   G+G  B7B7 E minorEm   G+G  B7B7 E minorEm
So don't leave me

Verse 2:
  C majorC      G+G  B7B7 E minorEm   G+G B7B7 E minorEm     G+G B7B7 E minorEm
I'm roaring for mercy,          Or is it lenience
   C majorC          C7C7
Or to bury the moments we won't be the host
G+G  B7B7 E minorEm      G+G       B7B7 E minorEm
for,    carve our names in the sto-one
     C majorC            C7C7             G+G  B7B7 E minorEm  G+G  B7B7 E minorEm
And then leave me believe in the faith I won't find on the, road
    C majorC            C majorC
Now if I said I'd be the one to hold you in my arms and that I
C majorC                 C7C7           G+G  B7B7 E minorEm  G+G  B7B7 E minorEm
never saw the day where you would leave me behind I'd be, lying

Bridge:
  C majorC                         G+G  B7B7 C majorC   G+G  B7B7 E minorEm
And maybe we'd make this a brook too broad for leaping
  C majorC                         G+G  B7B7 C majorC   G+G  B7B7 C majorC
Or maybe I've made myself too difficult to believe in
  C majorC                    G+G  B7B7 E minorEm  G+G  B7B7 E minorEm
And love has her ways, love has her terrible ways
