Intro - [C] [F/D] [G] [C] [Cadd9/B] [Am] [E7] [F] [C] [G] X2

[C]I guess you [F/D]don't need it [G]
I guess you don't [C]want me [Cadd9/B]to repeat it [Am]
But everything I [E7]have to give I'll [F]give to you [C] [G]
[C]It's not [F/D]like we planned it [G]
You tried to stay, [C]but you [Cadd9/B]could not stand it [Am]
To see me shut down [E7]slow
As though it was an [F]easy thing to do [C]

[G]Listen when

[c2]All of this around[Fadd9] us'll fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do[c2] [G]
[C]You will [E]shelter me [F]my love[C] [G]

[G]but not until [C]those very [Cadd9/B]words were spoken[Am]
Has anybody [E7]ever made such a [F]fool out of you [C] [G]
[C]It's hard [F/D]to believe it [G]
Even as my [C]eyes [Cadd9/B]do see it [Am]
The very things that [E7]make you live are [F]killing you [C]

[G]Listen when
