Verse 1:
A minorAm
If you leave me now
It's not that I can't take it
G+G
It's just that somehow
I think you'd break it
FF
So much beyond repair
Like pulling out my hair
E MajorE
And poisoning the roots
E7E7
A augmentedA gun that never shoots again
A minorAm
And if you leave me now
DmDm
And take him deep within your throne
G+G
Like you did when you were coming home
C majorC
And you did again in Mexico
BB
And again before you go
E MajorE
And I believed your lies
Chorus:
A minorAm
So turn and walk away
I've overspoken
DmDm
Said all that I can say
G+G
I know that I can kneel
And I could cry
C majorC
I could show you how I died
BB
But what good would it do?
E MajorE
Give the world another fool
Verse 2:
A minorAm
So if you're gonna stay
Don't just say it
G+G
Stay and really stay
FF
I don't want any more goodbyes
Any more disguise
E MajorE
No more tossing coins
Or him between your loins
A minorAm
And if you're gonna stay
DmDm
I'll place you high upon a hill
G+G
And with my hands
I'll build a tower in your name
C majorC
And you will do the same
BB
Won't you my love?
Bb majorBb
Won't you my love?
E7E7
Won't you my love?
Chorus:
A minorAm
Or turn and walk away
I've overspoken
DmDm
Said all that I can say
G+G
I know that I can kneel and kiss your feet
Walk ahead and clear the street
C majorC
So you don't have to meet
BB
But what good would it do
E7E7
Give the world another fool
Chorus:
A minorAm
So turn and walk away
I've overspoken
DmDm
Now what more can I say?
G+G
I know that I can kneel and I can cry
Hell I know
C majorC
That I can show you how I died
BB
Now what good would it do
Bb majorBb
Give the world another fool
E MajorE
Just sitting on this stool
N.C.
I'm close to giving up on you
