Capo 5th Fret

[Intro]

C C/B Am Dm F C

[Verse 1]

C C/B Am F C G

I haven’t told myself the truth since the first night you were gone

C C/B Am Dm F C

I’d like to think I was living easy, and love was mostly living all alone

C C/B Am F C G

Maybe it’s the wind blowing us together, maybe it’s the world blowing me away

C C/B Am Dm F C

Maybe the tall trees bow down before us pleading for a lonely heart to stay

[Chorus]

F C

Truth be told, the odds are stacked against us

E7 Am

Truth be told, they often always are

F C C/B

Unless you really care about me, don’t go up the stairs without

Am E7 Am G F

The boy that let you drive him in your mama’s beat up car

G C

And don’t forget the one that lives too far

[Break]

C C/B Am Dm F C

[Verse 2]

C C/B Am F C G

Some folks make something out of nothing, some people have to cry too long

C C/B Am Dm F C

While others wait beside the window wondering why the wind would blow so strong

C C/B Am F C G

Now I’ll admit I’m feeling cold and naked, just like I’m standing in the rain

C C/B Am Dm F C

With nothing left out here to hide behind, and I wonder if you feel the same

[Chorus]

F C

Truth be told, the odds are stacked against us

E7 Am

Truth be told, they often always are

F C C/B

Unless you really care about me, don’t go up the stairs without

Am E7 Am G F

The boy that let you drive him in your mama’s beat up car

And don’t forget the one that lives too far
