Intro:   D

D (xx0232@1) I took in the most that I could
                           Bm (x24432@1) I never imagined that I would
                          G (320003@1) Be feeling so misunderstood
                      D (xx0232@1) I'm just following lines
 
  You race in my mind like a car
                                     Bm (x24432@1) You've beaten my heart so damn farther
                                G (320003@1) And now I've been pacing the wall

Em (022000@1) Cause you're under my hood
          A (x02220@1) Never thought I could

Love you no never
          Em (022000@1) Never thought that I would
        G (320003@1)      A (x02220@1) Ever try to be anything better

G (320003@1)                     D (xx0232@1) My heart's beating better alone
      Em (022000@1) And if it is broke
   Bm (x24432@1)         A (x02220@1) Why let you know
        G (320003@1)                        D (xx0232@1) This heart's not your skipping stone
      Em (022000@1) If I'm sinking water
       Bm (x24432@1)      A (x02220@1) Then why even bother
        G (320003@1)              A (x02220@1) Just leave it alone, Mmmm
                                   D (xx0232@1) This heart's not your skipping stone



So maybe I should settle down
                           Bm (x24432@1) And find a new man  let him 
                    G (320003@1) Throw my world around
                     D (xx0232@1) All his blueberry lies

I know there isn't a rule
                         Bm (x24432@1) Was left in the dust never
                      G (320003@1) Was taught in school

Em (022000@1) Mmmm now  I'm a lovesick fool
         A (x02220@1) Never knew that you

Could just hold me hostage
                 Em (022000@1) I'm losing my cool
               G (320003@1) Through the pain somehow
         A (x02220@1) Don't want you to stop it

G (320003@1)                    D (xx0232@1) My heart's beating better alone
      Em (022000@1) And if it is broke
   Bm (x24432@1)         A (x02220@1) Why let you know
        G (320003@1)                        D (xx0232@1) This heart's not your skipping stone
      Em (022000@1) If I'm sinking water
       Bm (x24432@1)      A (x02220@1) Then why even bother
        G (320003@1)              A (x02220@1) Just leave it alone, Mmmm
                                   Bm (x24432@1) This heart's not your skipping stone

G (320003@1) All the time
                  D (xx0232@1) I never let you in
         A (x02220@1) Was a lie
                       Bm (x24432@1) I wasn't letting you win
               G (320003@1) And all the days
              D (xx0232@1) You let me cry
         A (x02220@1) Was a lie

G (320003@1)                     D (xx0232@1) My heart's beating better alone
      Em (022000@1) And if it is broke
   Bm (x24432@1)         A (x02220@1) Why let you know
        G (320003@1)                        D (xx0232@1) This heart's not your skipping stone
      Em (022000@1) If I'm sinking water
       Bm (x24432@1)      A (x02220@1) Then why even bother
        G (320003@1)              D (xx0232@1) Just leave it alone 
      Em (022000@1) And if it is broke
   Bm (x24432@1)         A (x02220@1) Why let you know
        G (320003@1)                        D (xx0232@1) This heart's not your skipping stone
      Em (022000@1) If I'm sinking water
       Bm (x24432@1)      A (x02220@1) Then why even bother
        G (320003@1)           A (x02220@1) Just leave me alone
                                   D (xx0232@1) This heart's not your skipping stone
