Verse 1:
 Am
If you leave me now

It's not that I can't take it
   G
It's just that somehow

I think you'd break it
  F
So much beyond repair

Like pulling out my hair
  E
And poisoning the roots
 E7
A gun that never shoots again
   Am
And if you leave me now
       Dm
And take him deep within your throne
        G
Like you did when you were coming home
      C
And you did again in Mexico
   B
And again before you go
  E
And I believed your lies


Chorus:
  Am
So turn and walk away

I've overspoken
  Dm
Said all that I can say
         G
I know that I can kneel

And I could cry
     C
I could show you how I died
     B
But what good would it do?
    E
Give the world another fool


Verse 2:
   Am
So if you're gonna stay

Don't just say it
 G
Stay and really stay
      F
I don't want any more goodbyes

Any more disguise
 E
No more tossing coins

Or him between your loins
   Am
And if you're gonna stay
        Dm
I'll place you high upon a hill
        G
And with my hands

I'll build a tower in your name
     C
And you will do the same
 B
Won't you my love?
 Bb
Won't you my love?
 E7
Won't you my love?


Chorus:
  Am
Or turn and walk away

I've overspoken
  Dm
Said all that I can say
         G
I know that I can kneel and kiss your feet

Walk ahead and clear the street
  C
So you don't have to meet
  B
But what good would it do
 E7
Give the world another fool


Chorus:
  Am
So turn and walk away

I've overspoken
   Dm
Now what more can I say?
     G
I know that I can kneel and I can cry

Hell I know
      C
That I can show you how I died
   B
Now what good would it do
    Bb
Give the world another fool
  E
Just sitting on this stool
 N.C.
I'm close to giving up on you


Outro:

N.C.
Just sitting on this stool

I'm close
                     Am
I've said I'm close to giving up on you
