Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]
G+G            D MajorD
Pull away to you in your best blue dress.
A minorAm              E minorEm        D MajorD
Silos and rolling hills, your eyes in brilliant focus.
G+G                 D MajorD
We learned how our bodies worked, soft and familiar,
    A minorAm                  E minorEm D MajorD
But you couldn't shake the fear of something so similar.

[Chorus 1]
C majorC              G+G
You return to him ‘cos he reminds you of your father,
    E minorEm              D MajorD
And it helps you sleep at night and brings you comfort.
C majorC               G+G
I can't seem to throw away the letters or the pictures
     E minorEm                   D MajorD
For some kind of truth or proof that all of this really happened.
C majorC           G+G
If you would've tried, I would've tried.
   D MajorD
If commitment's what you wanted,
          C majorC
I would've been the anchor by your side.
C majorC               G+G
If you would've stayed, well, I would've stayed.
    D MajorD               C majorC
But the only way to love you now is to walk away.

[Interlude]
C majorC | G+G | D MajorD

[Verse 2]
G+G                D MajorD
You walked bar to bar, a wicker basket held high,
    A minorAm              E minorEm        D MajorD
Selling roses to the drunkards, and I bought one every time.
G+G                  D MajorD
Stumble up the stairs, hand in hand, up to the roof.
A minorAm                    E minorEm        D MajorD
Love is something that will lead you, not something you can choose.

[Chorus 2]
C majorC                G+G
So many years have passed since all that wine.
     E minorEm                 D MajorD
You're a mother now and how I bet you made a beautiful bride.
C majorC               G+G
I can't seem to throw away the letters or the pictures
     E minorEm                   D MajorD
For some kind of truth or proof that all of this really happened. (C majorC)
C majorC           G+G
If you would've tried, I would've tried.
   D MajorD
If commitment's what you wanted,
          C majorC
I would've been the anchor by your side.
C majorC               G+G
If you would've stayed, well, I would've stayed.
    D MajorD               C majorC
But the only way to love you now is to walk away.

[Outro]
C majorC
If you would've prayed...
G+G
O, how I did pray.
    D MajorD
But the only way to love something
   C majorC
