Bridge:
G
For fourteen years my body betrayed me
D
The one I cannot live without must live on without me
Em C
Unread books on dusty shelves tell a story of their own
G
I know in time we all find peace of mind
D
When optionless we do what we must do
Em
But that was barely good enough and you
C
You stole my heart and then you stole my tools
C
You stole my tools, you stole my tools
G
For fourteen years my body betrayed me
D
The one I cannot live without must live on without me
Em C
Unread books on dusty shelves tell a story of their own
G
I know in time we all find peace of mind
D
When optionless we do what we must do
Em
But that was barely good enough and you
C
You stole my heart and then you stole my tools
C G
You stole my tools, you stole my tools
