C5    Bm#5        E5       F#5
(The same chords repeat for most of the song)
Intro: G5

Was it something I said?
G5
That made this seem like such a mess
                                  C5
Told you I was content
G5
And you said that's less than perfect
                                            C5                                        

Now my hands are both tied
G5                                         C5
But my arms are open wide
G5                                    E5
And the demon by my side
G5                                    C5
Well she is what I'll leave behind
G5                                       E5

Oh
E5    G5
Oh
C5      G5
Oh
E5   G5
Oh
C5      G5

Now that things have improved
G5                               C5
Might be possible to lose
G5                               E5
Every ounce of what we knew
G5                              C5
Till we're both drained of the truth
G5                              E5

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#5    G5
And every stitch you thread
          Bm#5   F#5     G5
Made it easy when, when it was time
            Bm#5 F#5  G5                    Bm#5   C5           
To move ahead

Oh

New machines, beauty queens
C5 G5                  E5       G5
Send my heart, out to see
C5             G5      E5       C5              
When you left, with no pretense
           G5         C5           G5
Oh Saint Marie, just leave me be
C5  G5    Bm#5 C5                         G5

Oh x2
