Intro:

|G+G  |C majorC  |
|G+G  |C majorC  |


Verse 1:

 G+G                    C majorC
I know a way to kill the ripple from your touch
  G+G               C majorC
And what if I can only settle for much?
  D MajorD     E minor 7Em7
It stays with you
    D MajorD   G+G   C majorC
You?re like a sky so drizzly

That I want
D MajorD E minor 7Em7 D MajorD G+G C majorC
 ?Till I take it out on you
Bm7Bm7   B minorBm  C majorC
Show me how to keep you in

Chorus:

G+G
You be good to me
    D MajorD    C majorC
And I, I?ll be good to you
           D MajorD
Don?t let go of your light
     B minorBm
It?s your best friend in the world
 C majorC           A7A7
I hope you?ll learn what Heaven knows
  C majorC
Who cares if I go?

G+G

Verse 2:

 G+G                   C majorC
I know a way to tell the middle from the start
  G+G                    C majorC
And what if telling makes the brittle fall apart?
  D MajorD   E minor 7Em7    D MajorD     G+G    C majorC
In time although my hair turns grey and grizzly
   D MajorD
Stay with me

Chorus:

G+G
So we cursed a lot
     D MajorD     C majorC
And I?m ashamed of walking out
         D MajorD      B minorBm
Oh it?s just too bad, we got stuck in the past
   C majorC        A7A7
We?re hiding there in silence now
  C majorC
It sounds familiar
G+G
You be good to me
    D MajorD    C majorC
And I, I?ll be good to you
      D MajorD
I?m off to work
B minorBm         C majorC
But I don?t see you turn

My life was OK
   C majorC
I was counting my steps
