Key: C

♫ Verse 1:
C
Csus                       C
I've gotten good at crying quietly
Csus                       C
My mouth wide open, hoping you can't hear me
Csus                            C
Holding my breath, but a lonely sound escapes
Csus                        C
You kiss my shoulder out of worry


♫ Verse 2:
Csus                        C
Several hours later, I finally wake up
Csus                  C
To flowers in a red plastic cup, oh
      Csus                                 C
You'd placed them on the kitchen table and left me to stare
       Csus              C
At the door you'd left unlocked

♫ Chorus:
               Csus Em7 Fadd9
If you're gonna wear me down
             Csus C
Wear me down slowly
            Csus Em7 Fadd9     Csus2
I know it'll all catch up with me
         C
Eventually


♫ Verse 3:
Csus                                       C
When you get home, you apologized, waiting for an "it's ok"
        Csus                      C
But your little act of courage instead meets my disdain
    Csus                              C
So I play the fiddle on the roof while you burned
Csus                     C
Knowing full well we'll never learn


♫ Chorus:
             Csus Em7 Fadd9
If I'm gonna wear you down
                  Csus  C
I'll wear you down slowly
                 Csus Em7 Fadd9    Csus2
But I know it'll all catch up with me
         C
Eventually


♫ Bridge:
   Amadd9     C
Oh I stitch up the wound
        Amadd9    C
But it's too tired to heal
       E7sus4 Csus
It's unclear
               Am      Csus2
Where we could go from here


♫ Chorus:
             Csus Em7 Fadd9
If I'm gonna wear you down
                   Csus C
I'll wear you down slowly
             Csus Em7 Fadd9   Csus2
I know it'll all catch up with me


                Csus Em7 Fadd9 Csus
If you're gonna wear me down
               C Csus2
Wear me down slowly
                Csus Em7 Fadd9 Csus
If you're gonna wear me down
             Amadd9 Csus2
Wear me down slowly
                Csus Em7 Fadd9 Csus
If you're gonna wear me down
             Bbadd9 Csus
Wear me down slowly


♫ Outro:
             Csus Em7 Fadd9    Csus2
I know it'll all catch up with me
         C
