Intro:
Badd11 | C#m7 | F#m7 | Aadd9 : 4x
Verse 1:
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
I let go of everything I ever had
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
'Cause I couldn't give the love you deserved
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
By The Gunner, you shouted, "Oh, my God"
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
It seemed churlish, but it's what I was owed, I suppose
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
Every flagstone of this town bears our prints
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
And all the bars round here serve my ghosts and carcasses
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
I wish I knew these things when I was young
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
'Cause now I've just gone so numb
Chorus:
Badd11 C#m7 Aadd9 Badd11
We take whatever we can to get the reason back
C#m7 Aadd9
So please don't rein me in
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
(Ooh) Don't rein me in
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
(Ooh) Please don't rein me in
Badd11 C#m7
I'm working myself up to a nice, warm bliss (Ooh)
F#m7 Aadd9
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
Badd11
If I stop, it's just pain (Ooh)
C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
Please don't rein me in
Verse 2:
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
I wish I could tell you everything
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
But my stomach was too weak
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
Sometimes it's easier to throw away your love
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
Instead of accepting its defeat
Chorus:
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
(Ooh) Don't rein me in
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
(Ooh) Please don't rein me in
Badd11 C#m7
And I'm working myself up to a nice, warm bliss (Ooh)
F#m7 Aadd9
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
Badd11
If I stop, it's just pain (Ooh)
C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
Please don't rein me in
Bridge:
Badd11
And I'm,
C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
I'm stood here chewing everybody's lugs off (Ooh)
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
(Ooh) Telling everybody how much I fucked it up
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
(Ooh) Telling everybody how much I fucked it up
Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 Badd11 C#m7
(Ooh) Telling everybody but you, how much I fucked it up
F#m7 Aadd9 Badd11
Slow down
C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9
Slow down

And I'm working myself up to a nice, warm bliss (Ooh)
F#m7 Aadd9
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
Badd11
If I stop, it's just pain (Ooh)
