--- Intro ---

  F

--- Verse 1 ---

       A#                     F    
If you ever find a way to forgive me 
       A#                 F
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest 
            A#                               F
Because I'm hanging on your dress now like a little boy 

     C                      Dm
When all that you wanted... All that you wanted
       A#               F
Was a good man, all right

                        A#
Right in the middle of another big fight 
                  F
Boom back another one tonight 
                        A#
Blood never forgets but who protects the memories 
                                  F
When we bleed each other from the vein 


--- Verse 2 ---

           A#                            F
And if you ever find a way to make this interesting
         A#                 F
And if I ever find a way to stop disintegrating 
     A#                      F
Into pieces that I was, that you destroy 

     C                      Dm
When all that you wanted... All that you wanted
       A#               F
Was a good man, all right

                        A#
Right in the middle of another big fight 
                        F
Go to bed, it's getting light out

Why do you, why do you
   A#                                                   F
Why do you always find me in the places when I'm coming down


--- Bridge ---

    C                                          Dm
And how do you do it when I'm overwhelmed by a violet sky 
                C                         Dm
And we fly in a decayed orbit 66 thousand miles an hour
                C
Goes by when we kissed and only now do I feel your mouth 
        Dm
Like an ache you never knew 
           A#
And it was right in front of you 

    C                                     Dm
Oh, how do you do it, roots in the soil untangled 
             C                                     Dm
Releasing in sweet summer oil, still I recoil like mace
                                        C
In all the little moments I pushed you away that I can't erase 
                 Dm
Every moment overflows with power 
    Am                      F
66 thousand miles an hour 


--- Verse 1 again ---

       A#                     F    
If you ever find a way to forgive me 
       A#                 F
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest 
            A#                               F
Because I'm hanging on your dress now like a little boy 

     C                      Dm
When all that you wanted... All that you wanted
      A#                F
Was a good man, all right

     C                      Dm
When all that you wanted... All that you wanted
      A#
Was a good man 

      F             A#
Was a good man... A good man...   (4x)
