Chords with lyrics
E minorEm
Listen to me
G+G
I know I never got much relief
E minorEm
I limped when I walked, S-s-stuttered to talk
G+G
and the achin' was just part of me
E minorEm
listen to me
G+G
I know all about agony
E minorEm
when you say that it hurts more than anybody sees
G+G
with a heart colder than
D MajorD
the heart off-beat
E minorEm C majorC
'cause you married a man who lied to you love
G+G D MajorD
But it wasn't like that when he first picked you up.
E minorEm C majorC
When he drove you around and he bought you some flowers
G+G D MajorD
Until something had changed and the temperature soured
E minorEm C majorC
But I'm alright
G+G D MajorD
Baby I don't mind
E minorEm C majorC
I'll get on just fine
G+G D MajorD D MajorD
On them long long drives
E minorEm
Call it a lie
E minorEm G+G
Well whatever brings you back to life
E minorEm
We could turn it around we can drive it straight home
G+G
If you wanna be alone for the night
E minorEm
Whatever song you like
G+G
From The Souls to Mack the Knife
E minorEm
we could turn it up loud, we can put the pedal down
G+G D MajorD
With the rain beading up my love
E minorEm C majorC
'Cause you ache for a drug that'll never be enough
G+G D MajorD
You're never gonna feel like when he first picked you up
E minorEm C majorC
when he drove you around, bought you powder and flowers
G+G D MajorD
until the thrill was gone
E minorEm C majorC
but you said I'm alright
G+G D MajorD
baby I don't mind
E minorEm C majorC
I'll get on just fine
G+G D MajorD D MajorD
on them long long drives
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
last night I remembered being 17
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
I met a girl with a taste for the world and whiskey and rites of spring
E minorEm C majorC
spent every night with cassettes that she liked
G+G D MajorD
in a car that I borrowed a lot
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD D MajorD
and I could never get her to believe
E minorEm C majorC
'Cause we tasted a kiss that was sent from below
G+G D MajorD
it was cool in the night I was old as a stone
E minorEm C majorC
in the back of the car with a child at heart
G+G D MajorD
who suddenly showed you their teeth
E minorEm C majorC
but you said I'm alright
G+G D MajorD
Jamie, I don't mind
E minorEm C majorC
I'll get on just fine
G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
On them long long drives without you
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
drives without you
E minorEm C majorC
And I still see him sometimes and he doesn't look right
G+G D MajorD
you left me for him then you left him for spite
E minorEm C majorC G+G
I hope you never pay that price
D MajorD G+G
