Verse:
Am7
Walked down by the river
C
While we eat our store-bought dinner
F C
You talked about how much you wanna go home
C G/B Am7
I'm afraid to tell you
C
That I think that I should leave you
F C
In fear of making a fool of myself to change my mind later on
Verse:
C G/B Am7
I left you for a reason
C
And you crawled back just to leave me
F
While I grew and grew
C
And broke and bent through it all
C G/B Am7
And Mighty Lord's been watching my steps
C
To make sure I don't slip back into
F C C
Another sorry stage of being abandoned
Verse:
C G/B Am7
'Cause there's only one more route I'll take
C
And that's the one where I finally wake up
F C
And cut off everything I have from everyone
C G/B Am7
Finally had to let you go
C F
And leave you to what only you know is good for you
C C
Till you finally see that it's not
Chorus:
C C/E Am7
Now I know I can't just wait on
C
Something that's not on its way
F C
Eventually, I'll have to move on
C G/B Am7
Like the dead trees in December
C
Like the frostbite as I shiver
F C
All of you has left me cold as I've ever been
F C
I just want you out my skin
Am7 Am
You killed me once
G
And I'd let you again
[Instrumental]

I thought that I could numb this pain
C
Why can't I just step away?

Baby, you were damaging me from the start
C G/B Am
I cut off all my bitterness
C
And every part of you I've got left
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
But some things will never truly go away
Chorus:
C G/B Am
Now I know I can't just wait on
C
Something that's not on its way
Fmaj7 C
Eventually, I'll have to move on
C G/B Am
Like the dead trees in December
C
Like the frostbite as I shiver
F C
All of you has left me cold as I've ever been
Fmaj7 C
I just want you out my skin
Am7
You killed me once
G
And I'd let you
Fmaj7 C
I'd let you agaaaa-ain
