(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!)

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

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

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

REPEAT INTRO:


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


VERSE CHORDS PLAYED TWICE:


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

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


REPEAT INTRO:
