Capo 3 - Standard tuning



INTRO: C - C - F - C

VERSE:
  C      F
I walk by the rivers edge 
          G
skipping smooth wet stones 
           C
& watching them sink 
 
C            F
i never was a fan of innocence 
       G
ive got two black eyes 
          C
& an empty fifth of gin 

Chorus:
F          C       G
& i see im wrong for you 
        F
but we try
              C      G    F
you swear im hard to lay beside 
               C         G     F
if i was you i'd run from me most nights 
            C        G             C F 
maybe i was meant to be left behind 

Verse:
C          F
thunder and circumstances 
G                     C
beyond our control rumble in 
C                   F                  G
counting time by the lines 'round your eyes 
                      C
as your gentle caress helps me forget 


Chorus:
F              C       G F
& i think its time to say good night 
               C        G  F
& you swear im hard to lay beside 
                  C        G      F
now years seem to pass as we blink our eyes 
             C         G
maybe i was meant to be left behind 
 
Bridge:           
               F    C     G
by all of our heartfelt lies (X3)
                   C
are not enough this time 

Chorus:
F           C       G        F
& i say i'd love to spend the night 
                      C       G   F
but you found someone else to lay beside 
                   C
& i know it makes sense 
             G          F
but its like sand in my eyes 
            C      G         C
maybe i was meant to be left behind
