My feelings are around me

Yesterday is passed tomorrow's gone

Should have known you wouldn't stay too long

I can't tell you what time it is

I'm not wise, it's just the way it is

When you called me baby

I'm needing you already

You don't even recognize you're gone
Esus4                 Emaj7sus4
I hate this cloud I'm under
E7sus4                Emaj7sus4
And I can't stand the thunder
Am7
I always prayed on the happiness you brought
Bm7                          E7
Sands in hourglasses hit the ground
Bm7                              E7sus4 E7
Millions of them, lost and never found

          Am7    Cmaj7/B  C   D
If I were smart

I wouldn't have a heart

I wouldn't have a heart

C                              D
Oh the tin man played it cool, he said love's for fools
G                                        E7sus4  E7
But his emptiness was real, he wanted more
Cmaj7                            D
But when his chest was pounding, he wished he'd never found it
G                                           E7sus4 E7
Cause the hurt came hard and tears began to pour

Chorus:
           Am7     Cmaj7/B  C   D
If he were smart
D                 G       E7sus4 E7
He wouldn't have a heart (oooooh)
           Am7     Cmaj7/B  C   D
If we were smart
D                  G      E7sus4 E7
We wouldn't have a heart (ooooh)
           Am7     Cmaj7/B  C   D
If I were smart
