Standard Tuning (EADGBE)

Em                       Am                   C                   Em
like the memory from your mother's house from before you got too old
Em                       Am                   C                   Em
like the feeling from a photograph before it's meanings all got told
D                      Am                    G              Am
the words I say can be silver, but what's left unsaid can be gold
Am                (slide or hammer on G string from 2 to 4)
so get to know me once I go away

Em

Em              Am                   C               Em
maybe 'cause I come from such an empty-hearted town
Em              Am                   C               Em
or maybe 'cause some love of mine had really let me down
D                      Am             G              Am
but the only time I am lonely is when others are around
Am                (slide or hammer on G string from 2 to 4)
I just never end up knowing what to say

Em

C                                       G
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I'd find myself a maid
D                                        Am
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn't need to get paid
C                                              G
if I wanted someone to understand me, I'd have so much more to say
D                      Em        C
I want you to make the days move easy

Em              Am                   C               Em
I took everything I thought from what it means to be a man
Em              Am                   C               Em
we need words to be put to what we do not understand
D                      Am                    G              Am
while you lean into the echoes and you do not raise a hand
Am                (slide or hammer on G string from 2 to 4)
oh woman, help me see it like it is

C                                       G
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I'd find myself a maid
D                                        Am

C                                              G
if I wanted someone to understand me, I'd have so much more to say
D                      Em        C
I want you to make the days move easy

C                                              G
if I wanted someone to cut me down, I'd have handed you the blade
D                      Em        C
I want you to make the days move easy
D                           Em   Em      C
I just want you to make the days move easy

Em Am C
