Give her your health
CLet me have the love you shareG  
EmI've Gbeen alone Afor a long timeC  
(C)                                Em  G  
Picked the faint praise of strangers
(G)                    Am  C  
Over one who truly cares
EmHe keeps the faith in a Adark roomC  
(C)                             Em  G  
Fingers twitching like moth wings
GHopinAmg to matter
EmBut he can't see how he matters to you
GYou can't drink wine or Acoffee
CAnd you're stuck with a EmbodyG  
(G)                              Am  C  
That fights each small request you make
EmI got that brown grass Ddogs Ecome pee onAm  
(Am)                     C  D  
Your grass so bright it's neon
EGreen and tie-dye and grows a mile high
Am(Why Why BmWhy Why Why AmWhy Why)
CWe'll be Ambetrayed by the Gseeds that we sow
                             AA♭             C  
Tiny blades grow and stab the earth from below
EYour dying dreams Dbleeding out in the Amsnow
EmYou with the Gcrumbling hips
AShe sees strangers eat Amoranges and Cclenches her fistsEm  
EmIn thesGe miles of highway
AmYou're the prettiest pileup Ethat I've ever AmglimpsedEm  
EmI’m lost iGn the awful withdrawals
AGrass seems much greener Cbeyond these old Gwalls
EmBut mGy worries so small
AWhen I walk through those hospital Challs
EmHere, Gtake my AmcareerC  
(C)                Em  G  
Give her your health
CLet me have the love you shareG  
EmI've Gbeen alone Afor a long timeC

Picked the faint praise of strangers

Over one who truly cares
EmHe keeps the faith in a Adark roomC
