CAPO: 2nd Fret
## NOTE: ~ = Bass Walk-Down from G to Em ##
[Intro]
 G~    Em   Am   G  D  
[Verse 1]
I've Cheard misfortune's Bmlosses
                 C         G~       Em  
And wasted ways before me buy the costs
                 C       G~         Em  
Of giving someone time enough for spending
DLove only Amborrowed
[Verse 2]
I've Cplaced myself at Bmease
                C         G~      Em  
Listening to the lies of self-belief
                     C        G~         Em  
For wanting something close enough for keeping
A Dfar cry from Amhere
[Chorus]
But GI believe in ways and Dmeans
To Gspeak another, D/F#dear, who has been Emspared
            C   G~ Em  
Innocence so near___
A Dfar cry from Amhere
[Instrumental]
  G~      Em    Am    G      D    G~      Em    Am    G  D  
[Verse 3]
Even Cstill the night is Bmpassing
                  C      G~          Em  
Behind my heart an emptiness still follows
                      C         G~        Em  
The distance damns the swallow hard for lending
DLove only Amborrowed
[Verse 4]
And some are Csad___, but true to Bmknow
                         C         G~       Em  
There's belonging in just longing for someone
                    C        G~    Em  
My shoulder rests, a road I only follow
DLove only Amborrowed
[Chorus]
Oh, but GI believe in ways and Dmeans
To Gspeak another, D/F#dear, who has been Emspared
            C   G~ Em  
Innocence so near___
A Dfar cry from Amhere
[Chorus]
Oh, but GI believe in ways and Dmeans
To Gspeak another, D/F#dear, who has been Emspared
            C   G~ Em  
Innocence so near___
A Dfar cry from Amhere
