Verse 1:
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
I haven’t told myself the truth since the first night you were gone
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm DmDm FF C majorC
I’d like to think I was living easy, and love was mostly living all alone

Maybe it’s the wind blowing us together, maybe it’s the world blowing me away
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm DmDm FF C majorC
Maybe the tall trees bow down before us pleading for a lonely heart to stay
Chorus:
FF C majorC
Truth be told, the odds are stacked against us
E7E7 A minorAm
Truth be told, they often always are
FF C majorC C/BC/B
Unless you really care about me, don’t go up the stairs without
A minorAm E7E7 A minorAm G+G FF
The boy that let you drive him in your mama’s beat up car
G+G C majorC
And don’t forget the one that lives too far

Verse 2:
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
Some folks make something out of nothing, some people have to cry too long
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm DmDm FF C majorC
While others wait beside the window wondering why the wind would blow so strong
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
Now I’ll admit I’m feeling cold and naked, just like I’m standing in the rain
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm DmDm FF C majorC
With nothing left out here to hide behind, and I wonder if you feel the same
Chorus:
FF C majorC
Truth be told, the odds are stacked against us

Unless you really care about me, don’t go up the stairs without

The boy that let you drive him in your mama’s beat up car
