In the vEalley
Where my Bheart sinks 
There'll be Ano strings

When the sEad wind 
From the Bnight's end 
Help me Apretend 
That I'm Eyour sin
In the dEark space 
The touch of your Bsoft face
In front of a Afireplace 
Would you beElieve me 
If the pEhone rings
Tell him Bnothing

From your aBnswer 
I'll take a Agander 
Appreciate your Ecandor
If the glEove fits
Above the Btool box

At the sound of Emy thoughts
Now the pEain cries
Down a Bcheek it dries
Oh, the Apink sky
And back little Ewhite lies
When my eEyes sting
Where my Bheart sinks
There will be Ano strings
We're drinking Elightning

Capo: 2nd

I find it's easier to keep pace when finger picking.

Verse 1:

In the valley

Where my heart sinks

There'll be no strings

I'm worth nothing

When the sad wind

From the night's end

Help me pretend

That I'm your sin

In the dark space

The touch of your soft face

In front of a fireplace

Would you believe me

If the phone rings

Tell him nothing

Or maybe one thing

That hell is coming

Pre-Chorus:

F#m A E C#m

Cause he waisted your ti - me

F#m A E C#m

In a year you'll be mi - ne

F#m A

No, you don't fare well

No, you don't fare well

F#m A E

No, you don't fare well without me

Verse 2:

When I feel numb

From your answer

I'll take a gander

Appreciate your candor

If the glove fits

Above the tool box

You'll hear a pin drop

At the sound of my thoughts

Now the pain cries

Down a cheek it dries

Oh, the pink sky

And back little white lies

When my eyes sting

Where my heart sinks

There will be no strings

We're drinking lightning

Pre-Chorus:

F#m A E C#m

Cause he waisted your ti - me
