Capo 3rd


G5                    C5                              G5
I swear I'm sick of sorry songs and sobbin on the phone 
                        C5                                G5
and guitars can only distract you from yourself for so long. 
                         C5                                G5
I Barely recognize the difference there between right and wrong, 
                        
it come and goes and leaves me broke and God's the only one that knows 
                             G5 (mute)
it's not my fault I swear to God it's not my fault.


G5   C5       G5  D5
I've been losing 
G5                                          C5
sleep and drugs and thoughts and time and tiny pieces of my mind 
          G5                                 D5
that you borrowed without asking me though I don't need them right now, 
G5 C5 G5  D5           G5  C5       G5
I am so goddamned tired of all the lies we're tellin to ourselves.


E5                  C5
I keep a box in my room 
                            G5
filled with everything that you 
                D5                             E5
ever gave me or anything that reminds me of you, 
                       C5
I keep it lock out of sight 
                            G5
with hopes that one day I might 
                            D5                              E5
pluck up the courage to sit down and write this letter to you . 
                            C5
You'll keep it locked in a drawer by your bedside, 
G5                             D5                                     E5
you may never read it but it makes you glad to know that it's there, 
                         C5
and you'll stare at the words that I wrote 
          G5                     D5
with my own two hands words I never had the courage to say, 
E5                     C5
this is life, this is life, this is life 
      G5                             D5                            E5
at a pace that will crush us all right back to where we began, 
                       C5
this is hope, this is hope, this is hope, 
         G5                   D5
in the form of a song that no one should ever hear. 
  E5         C5                 G5
Nothing for certain though, 
      D5                         E5
only one thing I know is true, 
C5                     G5
I got all of these little things, 
      D5              C5
but he's still got you. 

But don't you know that?
