Capo on 1st fret Intro: Am Am Verse 1: Am G "Don't go borrowin' trouble," that's what you used to say D F But we don't keep in touch the way we used to nowadays Am G Your eyes are not as bright as I remember them to be D F Em7 The light inside's grown dim and that's hard for me to see Verse 2: Am G The creases on your forehead run like treads on a tire D F The white stripe runnin' through your bangs a long twisted spire Am G You're sweepin' up the floods and you've been vacuumin' the fires D F Em7 And you lay down every night next to a goddamn liar Am7 G You may be here today, but tomorrow, you're a ghost D F I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay Am G Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue D F Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away F Em7 Strong enough to love you when you're wrong F Em7 Someone strong enough to love you when you're Am G D F Wrong Verse 3: Am G When the day is winding down, my heart abandons me for you D F You forgot yourself so long ago and I wish I could too Am G But you live inside a quiet hell no one can pray away D F Em7 Leavin' would be easy, I understand why you stay Am7 G You may be here today, but tomorrow, you're a ghost D F I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay Am G Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue D F Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away F Em7 Strong enough to love you when you're wrong F Em7 Someone strong enough to love you when you're Am G D F When you're wrong Verse 4: Am G You'd be wrong if you were thinkin' that we all don't fade away D F Like dew drops in the dawn, like sun beams through the haze Am G It's a long way to be sinkin', holdin' tightly to the weights D F Em7 Of the one who pulls you down while you slowly waste your days F Em7 Someone strong enough to love you when you're wrong F Em7 Someone strong enough to love you when you're Am G Wrong D F When you're wrong OUTRO: Am G Ooh ooh ooh ooh D F When you're wrong Am G D Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh F Am G D F Oooh ooh ooh oooooh ooh oooooh ooh oooooh ooh Am G D F Am D A
