G D7sus4/G Gsus4 C/G
G D7sus4/G Gsus4 C/G

Verse 1:
G           D7sus4/G   Gsus4 C/G
I wish that I could be angry
G    D7sus4/G      Gsus4  C/G
Punch a hole in the wall
G    D7sus4/G      Gsus4  C/G
Drink a fifth of cheap whiskey and
G    D7sus4/G      Gsus4  C/G
Call and call and call

Verse 2:
G         D7sus4/G      Gsus4  C/G
But that ain't me anymore baby
G           D7sus4/G     Gsus4 C/G
Never was to tell the truth
G           D7sus4/G      G    C/G
I just saw it in a movie and thought
         G    D7sus4/G      Gsus4  C/G
That's what I was supposed to do

Chorus:
Em      C                G             D
I was a gravelweed and I needed you to raise me
Em            C               G               D
I'm sorry the day came when I felt like I was raised
Em             C              G          D
But now that I live to see my melodies betray me
Em            C                   G                  D
I'm sorry the love songs all mean different things today

Verse 3:
G    D7sus4/G      Gsus4  C/G
I wish that I could be angry
G    D7sus4/G      Gsus4  C/G
I wish I didn't understand
G         D7sus4/G         Gsus4    C/G
I said your skin was like water and let you
G    D7sus4/G      Gsus4  C/G
Flow right through my hands

Verse 4:
G        D7sus4/G      Gsus4  C/G 
Is there a love that's not crazy?
G        D7sus4/G      Gsus4  C/G
Is there a life that's not alive?
G       D7sus4/G          Gsus4        C/G
All I know is that I had to go and you know
G D7sus4/G Gsus4 C/G
Why why why


Chorus:
Em      C                G             D
I was a gravelweed and I needed you to raise me
Em               C               G               D
And you couldn't reach me once I fell like I was raised
Em             C              G          D
And now that I live to see my melodies betray me
Em            C                   G                  D
I'm sorry the love songs all mean different things today
