Em Cadd9 G

I get lost in your whispers

Em Cadd9 G

As you crawl across my bed

Em Cadd9 G

In all my twenty-five Decembers

Em Cadd9 G

More I love you's ain't been said

[Chorus]

I'm like a preacher when he prays

Cadd9 G

I'm on my knees and leave your name

D G

But it's painted blue right on my front door

I've been broke down and I've been fooled

Cadd9 G

By time and age and some by you

D G

So I just lay here with a bottle on the floor

D G

So when the pain starts to creep in

Em Cadd9 Am

I just pour another shot again

Em Cadd9 G

So I don't have to miss you anymore

[Instrumental]

Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G

[Verse 2]

Em Cadd9 G

While this poison just seeps in

Em Cadd9 G

My mind just runs in place

Em Cadd9 G

I've been hanging by a clothes pin

Em Cadd9 G

Time stands still on my clock's face

[Chorus]

I'm like a preacher when he prays

Cadd9 G

I'm on my knees and leave your name

D G

But it's painted blue right on my front door

I've been broke down and I've been fooled

Cadd9 G

By time and age and some by you

D G

So I just lay here with a bottle on the floor

D G

So when the pain starts to creep in

Em Cadd9 Am

I just pour another shot again

Em Cadd9 G

So I don't have to miss you anymore

[Bridge]

C D G

Yea my voice, it's had too many cigarettes

C D G

And too much alcohol

C D G

I'll be damned if I don't leave all this mess

C D G

I'll get away, if I have to crawl
