C9    Bm#5        Em7       F#/G
(The same chords repeat for most of the song)
Intro: G

Was it something I said?
G
That made this seem like such a mess
                                  C9
Told you I was content
G
And you said that's less than perfect
                                            C9                                        

Now my hands are both tied
G                                         C9
But my arms are open wide
G                                    Em7
And the demon by my side
G                                    C9
Well she is what I'll leave behind
G                                       Em7

Oh
Em7    G
Oh
C9      G
Oh
Em7   G
Oh
C9      G

Now that things have improved
G                               C9
Might be possible to lose
G                               Em7
Every ounce of what we knew
G                              C9
Till we're both drained of the truth
G                              Em7

Tread my feet in the road
Watch them worked down to bone
And the blanket is cold
And i am more than alone

Oh

Every hour you spent
          Bm#5   F#/G    G
And every stitch you thread
          Bm#5   F#/G     G
Made it easy when, when it was time
            Bm#5 F#/G  G                    Bm#5   C9           
To move ahead

Oh

New machines, beauty queens
C9 G                  Em7       G
Send my heart, out to see
C9             G      Em7       C9              
When you left, with no pretense
           G         C9           G
Oh Saint Marie, just leave me be
C9  G    Bm#5 C9                         G

Oh x2
