(intro 2x) D5 G5 A5 

D5                     G5
 So the story goes on down
          A5         D5
 The less-traveled road
                  G5      A5         B5
 It?s a variation on the one I was told
                           G5   A5
 And although it?s not the same
            E5      G5  ( A5 )
 It?s awful close, yeah

D5               G5    A5     D5
 In an ordinary fairytale land
                        G5       A5     B5
 There?s a promise of a perfect happy end
                      G5    A5          E5
 And I imagine having just short of that
                A5
 Is better than nothing

             D5       A5               B5    G5
So you?ll be mine forever and almost always
            D5          A5                G5     A5
And I?ll be fine; just love me when you can, yeah
         G5           A5
And I?ll wait patiently
     D5             B5              E5 A5
I?ll wake up every day just hoping that
          D5   G5 A5 (2x)
You still care

D5                    G5
 In the corner of my mind
   A5
 I know too well
D5
 Oh, that surely even
 G5   A5          B5
 I deserve the best
 But instead of leaving
 G5              A5        E5
 I just put the issue to bed
               G5  A5
 And out of my head

D5                  G5
 And just when I believe
        A5
 You?ve changed for good
D5                          G5
 Well, you go and prove me wrong
             A5
 Just like I knew you would
B5                        G5
 When I run out of second chances
     A5            E5
 You give me that look
                    A5
 And you?re off the hook

                D5      A5               B5    G5
Because you?re mine forever and almost always
           D5          A5                G5     A5
Oh and I?m fine, just love me when you can, yeah
         G5           A5
And I?ll wait patiently
     D5             B5              E5 A5
I?ll wake up every day just hoping that
          G5
You still care

 A5   B5
Oh, oh
E5
What am I still doing here?
G5 A5 E5
Oh, oh
     C5            D5  A5
It?s all becoming so clear

          D5       A5               B5    G5
You?ll be mine forever and almost always
         D5             A5                G5    A5
It ain?t right to just love me when you can, oh
        G5           A5
I won?t wait patiently
   D5             B5              E5 A5
Or wake up every day just hoping that
             D5
You?ll still care

   A5               B5
Forever and almost always
G5            D5             A5                G5      A5
No, it ain?t right to just love me when you can, baby
            G5           A5
Ain?t gonna wait patiently
        D5             B5              E5 A5
I won't wake up every day just hoping that
          D5   G5 A5 (4x) D5
You still care
