so I decided to post it!

(capo at fourth fret for recorded key of C#m)

INTRO:
Am  Em  Dm  G 'Ab  (two times)

VERSE-A:
Am                 Em
I never told you I don't know why
Dm                  G        'Ab
All those years all those lies
Am                    Em
Cling to my body like oil and fire and they
Dm                  G           'Ab
Will not sleep they will not tire__

RE-INTRO:
Am  Em  Dm  G 'Ab
__               So

VERSE:
Am                    Em
We have a problem you see my dear 'cos I
Dm                  G             'Ab
Can't move on and I can't stay here
Am               Em
I gotta fix it I need your tears but
F            G
Mostly now I need your ears see

CHORUS:
C                Am
I gotta tell you I need you to know
Dm                       G          'Ab
You were my ruin when you  took hold you
Am                 C
Made me believe in lies you told but
Dm                          G             'Ab
You won't get away with the pride you stole__
Am  Am  Dm                _G.
______    Getting off this dusty road

RE-INTRO:
Am  Em  Dm  G 'Ab

VERSE:
Am                     Em
Girls never tell you I don't know how but
Dm                  G             'Ab
Sometimes men you a-buse your power
Am                   Em
We are strong and we do rebound but
F                 G
Bruising tends to break us down so so

CHORUS:
C                Am
I gotta tell you I need you to know
Dm                       G          'Ab
You were my ruin when you  took hold you
Am                 C
Made me believe in lies you told but
Dm                          G             'Ab
You won't get away with the pride you stole__
Am  Am  Dm                _G
_______   Getting off this dusty road__

BRIDGE:
Dm         Em       F     G

__ for san-ni-ty so hear me because I__

SCAT-CHORUS:
C            Am           Dm    G             'Ab
