Verse 1:
E
Max came around one day
G# G#7
With very much, nothing to say
C#m C#m/B A
And so we sat in silence by the road
E
It took awhile to land
G# G#7
He threw his head into hands
C#m C#m/B A
And said this is too much for man to hold
Chorus:
F#m E/G# A Asus4 A
If you were mine
D E F#m
If you were mine
C#m D A Bm D/E
I'd let you live your life
Interlude:
A F#7/A# E/G# Em/G F#m
Verse 2:
E
Threw my head into his chest
G# G#7
I think we did our best
C#m C#m/B A
But now we must make good on words to God
E
Answered with a weary breath
G# G#7
No need to say the rest
C#m C#m/B A
I feel that we've been lost here for too long
Chorus:
F#m E/G# A Asus4 A
If you were mine
D E F#m
If you were mine
C#m D A Bm D/E
I'd let you live your life
Interlude:
A F#7/A# E/G# Em/G F#sus4 F#
Verse 3:

The end of the affair

I tried to keep us there
A/C# D D#dim E C#/F F#m
Shake hands and say goodnight

I love you, goodbye

Now let me live my life
