G                     Am               F
I wish that you could see who I really am
                   Am                           G
It's tough being a woman in love with an unkind man
                            Am                        F
Cause baby I'd give you the world, in fact, I already do



And how do you repay that?
Am                                             G
Talk to me like I'm just a regular tramp tryna do you over
         Am                      F
Have you even got a clue, what I gave up just to be here?
Am
Serve you with your steak and beer?

Pre-Chorus 1:
       G
'Cause baby that's love (Baby that's love)
    Am
And baby that's real (Baby that's real)
    F
And all I've ever wanted was for your loving arms
   Am
To wrap themselves around me and say


Chorus:
    G                                   Am
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
                  F
Come and lay your bones down with me
                  Am
Come and lay your bones down with me
    G                                   Am
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known

Come and lay your bones down

G                      Am                             F
I'm not tryna play the victim, don't wanna go head to head
                            Am                                        G
But boy I shouldn't have to stand in the mirror convincing myself I'm fair
                        Am
Baby that's your job to do
                            F
And baby you should say I'm beautiful
                           Am                                              G
Why do you wanna watch the set when I'm layin' right next to you in my own room?
                      Am
I feel like you don't even know I'm there
            F
But I put a brush through my hair for you
             Am
Run my fingertips over your back real smooth


Pre-Chorus 2:
G
Boy I need love (Boy I need love)
Am
I don't get enough (I don't get enough)
    F
And all I've ever wanted was for your loving arms
   Am
To wrap themselves around me and say

In the eyes and say "I want you"
       Am                                    G
In the eyes and say "This is what I'm asking for"
                                 Am
How can you sit and stare at the wall?
                          F
Do you even like me at all?
