🎸 Intro:

Am C F x2:



🎸 Verse 1:
      Am        C                 F
I'm a book on a shelf, collecting dust all by myself
      C             G         F
But I carry all the words you wrote
          Am           C        F
Though my spine may be bent, my binding may be spent
                C                 G       F
But there ain't nothing about you I don't know

Pre🎸 Chorus 1:
     C           G           F
So I know you're not the one
       Am     G                F
Use me up and when you're done

             Am            C           F
Just give me back, give me back to the ground
             Am            C           F
Just give me back, give me back to the ground


🎸 Break 1:

🎸 Verse 2:
         Am          C                F
Though I planted the seeds, gave them everything they need
        C              G                F
But the flowers in our window box don't grow
       Am              C             F
Little buds make their graves as the warmth inside us fades
    C                  G                  F
But I still don't know shit about letting go


Pre🎸 Chorus 2:
     C            G          F
So I know you're not the one
       Am     G                F
Use me up and when you're done


🎸 Chorus 2:
             Am            C           F
Just give me back, give me back to the ground
             Am            C           F
Just give me back, give me back to the ground

Pre🎸 Chorus 3:
    Am         C              F
Our hearts lay still and cold
Am        C         F
under ice and frozen soil
         Am       C       F
I can't stay here anymore
      Am    C         F
So remember when I go


🎸 Chorus 3:
           Am
