Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
C                          Fmaj7/C
And lover, where’d you lose your patience
               C
I know you had your patience
            Fmaj7/C
And I was just a kid

Verse 2:
C                               Fmaj7/C
And clueless, you never stop to wonder
                         C
If lightning strikes the thunder
                   Fmaj7/C
Or if it’s just coincidence
Chorus 1:
C
Every time your father beat you down

You told him, "Dad it wont be long,"
            Fmaj7/C
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

Verse 3:
C
And hated
                  Fmaj7/C                           C
Your bedroom is a dark place, but you've broken all the doorways
                     Fmaj7/C
And now you're stuck inside

Verse 4:
C
But hopeful
              Fmaj7/C                                       C
Your memory's still around though, you can see it from your window
                Fmaj7/C
As it starts to pass you by

Pre-Chorus:
Am
Now I'm in your car, you hold your apples in your arms
         Fmaj7/C
You're a friend I used to know, but you still lean against my walls
        Am
Tell me beauty I won't bluff, I set my mind to worthless stuff
          Fmaj7/C
But I was hoping you'd have the decadence, the appetite of love
           C                    Fmaj7/C
But that's alright, yeah that’s alright

Chorus 2:
C
Every time your father beat you down

You told him, "Dad it wont be long,"
            Fmaj7/C
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

             C
And when you came to me, and said, "We gotta leave,"

And so we took your parents' car
            Fmaj7/C
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

            C
And when we got away, but in a couple days

We crashed in Arkansas
            Fmaj7/C
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

             C
And when the cop cars came and took you away

I knew I had to write this song
            Fmaj7/C
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong
