Salt chords by Lori McKenna

Chords with lyrics

No Capo


VERSE:
C majorC
I pay for my room and I try to forget it
A minorAm
It?d kill me I knew, the memory, if I let it
FF                          C majorC
Hearts don?t fly but they can run like hell when they have to
(C majorC)
I didn't leave you a note, I didn't leave you a photo
A minorAm
I didn't leave you a chance, but I left you, I guess you know
FF                           C majorC
You?re wondering now how long it?ll take before I start missing you

CHORUS:
  A minorAm
But you ain't worth the time
FF
You ain't worth the pain
G+G                     FF
You ain't worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your name
 A minorAm              FF
You ain't worth the life they hand out in a town this small
G+G                      FF
You ain't worth the sound of the TV from the room down the hall
       C majorC
Or my weight in salt

VERSE:
(C majorC)
Six years of crying, that?s all that you gave me
A minorAm
Not one more thing, not even a baby
FF                           C majorC
We were close one time but I guess God is smarter than I am
(C majorC)
You broke every promise, you broke every whisper
A minorAm
You broke every vow the moment you kissed her
FF                       C majorC
And you never thought twice, you never gave a damn

CHORUS:
A minorAm
But you ain't worth the time
FF
You ain't worth the pain
G+G                     FF
You ain't worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your name
 A minorAm              FF
You ain't worth the life they hand out in a town this small
G+G                      FF
You ain't worth the sound of the TV from the room down the hall
       C majorC
Or my weight in salt

BRIDGE:
G+G
All of the salt, gathered from tears
FF
Carefully collected from journals and prayers
A minorAm            C majorC           A minorAm FF C majorC
It?d take you a month of Sundays to lift with a spoon
     A minorAm  FF C majorC
To pour on the wound

CHORUS:
  A minorAm
But you ain't worth the time
FF
You ain't worth the pain
G+G                      FF
You ain't worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your name
A minorAm                   FF
You ain't worth the cost to repair the hole in the kitchen drywall
G+G                      FF
You ain't worth the good advice written on a dirty bathroom stall
       C majorC
Or my weight in salt

OUTRO:
C majorC
I paid for my room and I tried to forget it
A minorAm
It?d kill me I knew, the memory, if I let it
FF                          C majorC
Hearts don?t fly but they can run like hell when they have to
