Lyrics w/ Chords:
Verse:
G6G6 C majorC
I won't bury you in the basement
G6G6 C majorC
As I've been known to do
G6G6 C majorC
I won't bludgeon your memory
G6G6 C majorC
Leave you crying out for truth
G6G6 C majorC
There's a song we sing together
G6G6 C majorC
The song of me and you
G6G6 C majorC
And I was hoping that we could fix it
G6G6 C majorC
At least just fiddle around with the tune
Pre-Chorus:
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4
But you go right, I go left
C majorC
You go forward, I go back
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4 C majorC
And we're dancing this waltz alone
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4 C majorC
You go up, I go down, lost our grip
And now we've found ourselves
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4 C majorC
Dancing this waltz alone
Chorus:
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4
Hush now, don't cry
C majorC
It's just a lullaby
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4
I won't leave you
C majorC
Til you close your eyes
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4
Hush now don't cry
C majorC
It's just a lullaby
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4
I'll tell you sweet lies
C majorC
I won't leave your side
Verse:
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
We were peaceful when we were sleeping
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
Or after we had a fight
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
We were civil when people were watching
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
We were worst when we were right
Pre-Chorus:
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4
You'd go in, I'd go out
C majorC
We'd forget what it's about
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4 C majorC
And we'd start dancing this waltz alone
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4 C majorC
You would smile and I'd frown
You gave it up, now who's the clown
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4 C majorC
That is dancing this waltz alone
Chorus:
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4
Hush now, don't cry
C majorC
It's just a lullaby
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4
I won't leave you
C majorC
Til you close your eyes
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4
Hush now don't cry
C majorC
It's just a lullaby
G6G6 Dsus4Dsus4
I'll tell you sweet lies
C majorC
I won't leave your side
