(Sorry, I'm really not the best at tabbing finger picking pieces. Sometimes, it seems like my hands can
 understand the rhythm better than my head can -- I'm certainly trying to be helpful, keep that in mind!)

     E minorEm        A minorAm          C majorC        E minorEm
like the memory from your mother's house from before you got too old
     E minorEm        A minorAm          C majorC        E minorEm
like the feeling from a photograph before it's meanings all got told
   D MajorD         A minorAm         G+G        A minorAm
the words I say can be silver, but what's left unsaid can be gold
  Bm7/A     A minorAm    E minorEm
so get to know me once I go away

E minorEm       A minorAm        C majorC       E minorEm
maybe 'cause I come from such an empty-hearted town
  E minorEm       A minorAm        C majorC       E minorEm
or maybe 'cause some love of mine had really let me down
     D MajorD       A minorAm       G+G     A minorAm
but the only time I am lonely is when others are around
    Bm7/A    A minorAm       E minorEm
I just never end up knowing what to say

Chorus:
   C majorC                 G+G
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I'd find myself a maid
   D MajorD                  A minorAm         E minorEm
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn't need to get paid
   C majorC                     G+G
if I wanted someone to understand me, I'd have so much more to say
    D MajorD            C majorC
I want you to make the days move easy

REPEAT INTRO:

    E minorEm      A minorAm          C majorC      E minorEm
I took everything I thought from what it means to be a man
    E minorEm     A minorAm       C majorC      E minorEm
we need words to be put to what we do not understand
     D MajorD       A minorAm       G+G      A minorAm
while you lean into the echoes and you do not raise a hand
  Bm7\A     A minorAm       E minorEm
oh woman, help me see it like it is


VERSE CHORDS PLAYED TWICE:


Chorus:
   C majorC                 G+G
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I'd find myself a maid
   D MajorD                  A minorAm         E minorEm
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn't need to get paid
   C majorC                     G+G
if I wanted someone to understand me, I'd have so much more to say
    D MajorD            C majorC
I want you to make the days move easy

   C majorC                 G+G
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I'd find myself a maid
   D MajorD                  A minorAm          E minorEm
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn't need to get paid
   C majorC                    G+G
if I wanted someone to cut me down, I'd have handed you the blade
    D MajorD             C majorC
I want you to make the days move easy
      D MajorD             C majorC
I just want you to make the days move easy


REPEAT INTRO:

END!!!
