-Intro-
"This one ain't about me. It's about this friend... that I have... who is not me."
Verse 1:
FF
First time I ever seen you
A minorAm
was down at the beach by Revere
C majorC
through a thick black haze of fire and smoke
G+G
things suddenly seemed so clear
FF
I knew I had to have you
A augmentedA A minorAm
make you mine at any cost
C majorC
I gave up on my old crew
G+G
never worried 'bout what I lost
FF A augmentedA
I gave you gold, I gave you caps
FF A augmentedA
gave you all I stole and more
A#A#
Never counted on you stealin' from me
C majorC
and running out the door
Chorus:
A#A# FF
Baby, quit raidin' my heart
A augmentedA
You took all I had and left me
E MajorE
I can't stand being apart
FF D MajorD
This ain't no way to try and test me
Verse 2:
FF
I know you remember all the fun we had
A augmentedA
playin' the odds at Easy City
C majorC
And when we roasted that caravan down in The Fens
G+G
I was so happy to have you with me
FF
But after a while, I couldn't keep denying
A augmentedA
what I daily witnessed
C majorC
The caps, the guns, the blood-soaked ground, well
G+G
I just couldn't hold your interest
FF A augmentedA
Now I don't buy what they tell me
FF A augmentedA
that you can't ever be satisfied
A#A#
I'd kill every last man in the whole wide world
C majorC
just to have you by my side
Chorus:
A#A# FF
Baby, quit raidin' my heart
A augmentedA
Bring back the love you stole
E MajorE
I can't stand being apart
FF D MajorD
I need you here to make me whole
-Outro-

"I ain't gonna lie to you all - love hurts. It really does. I mean... that's what my friend said.
When he told me the story, and then I went and wrote a song about it. Whatever."
