From her album Central Reservation
[Verse 1]
BmYou walked into my house last night
DI couldn't help but notice
AA light that was long gone out still Eburning strong
BmYou were sitting
Your Dfingers like fuses
Your Aeyes were cinnaEmon
[Pre-Chorus 1]
BmYou said you stDand for every known abuse
That was eveAr threatened to anEyone but you
BmAnd why should I know bDetter by now
When I'm oAld enough not Eto
[Chorus 1]
BmWhile every lDine speaks the language of Alove
It never held the meaning I Ewas thinking of
BmAnd I can't Ddecide between right oAr wrong
I guess sometimes you need the pElace where you belong
[Verse 2]
BmSome may sing the wrong verse to the Dwrong melody
AIt's little things like this that Ematter to me
BmOther feel that you should stand
DFor every known abuse to hand
AAnd all the things that they could never Esee
[Pre-Chorus 2]
BmYou said you Dstood for every known abuse
That was Apromised to anEyone like you
BmDon't you wish you knew Dbetter by now
AWhen you're old enough not Eto
[Chorus 2]
BmWhen every linDe speaks the language of loAve
And never held the meaninEg I was thinking of
ABmnd I can't Ddecide over right or Awrong
You left the feeling that EI just do not belong
EDo not belong, Edo not belongE, do not belong
[Bridge]
BmOne drink too many
And a Ajoke gone too far
I see a faEce drive a stolen car
Gets Eharder to hide
When you're hitching a ride
HardeEr to hide what you really saw
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Oh Bmyeah you stand foDr every known abuse
That I'vAe ever seen my way tEhrough
DoBmn't you wish Dyou knew better by now
WAell I think I'm startinEg to
[Chorus 3]
WhBmen every line Dspeaks the language of Alove
And never held the meaning EI was thinking of
AnBmd I've lost the lDine between right or Awrong
I just wanna find the place Ewhere I belong
(Cello Solo)
BmWhy should you knoDw better by now
WheAn you're old enough not Eto
BmI wish I knew betDter by now
WhAen I'm old enough not Eto
(Cello Solo)

From her album Central Reservation

[Verse 1]

You walked into my house last night

I couldn't help but notice

A E

A light that was long gone out still burning strong

You were sitting

Your fingers like fuses

A E

Your eyes were cinnamon

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Bm D

You said you stand for every known abuse

A E

That was ever threatened to anyone but you

Bm D

And why should I know better by now

A E

When I'm old enough not to

[Chorus 1]

Bm D A

While every line speaks the language of love

It never held the meaning I was thinking of

Bm D A

And I can't decide between right or wrong

I guess sometimes you need the place where you belong

[Verse 2]

Bm D

Some may sing the wrong verse to the wrong melody

A E

It's little things like this that matter to me

Other feel that you should stand

For every known abuse to hand

A E

And all the things that they could never see

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Bm D

You said you stood for every known abuse

A E

That was promised to anyone like you

Bm D

Don't you wish you knew better by now

A E

When you're old enough not to

[Chorus 2]

Bm D A

When every line speaks the language of love

And never held the meaning I was thinking of

Bm D A

And I can't decide over right or wrong

You left the feeling that I just do not belong

E E E

Do not belong, do not belong, do not belong

[Bridge]

One drink too many

And a joke gone too far

I see a face drive a stolen car

Gets harder to hide

When you're hitching a ride

Harder to hide what you really saw

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Bm D

Oh yeah you stand for every known abuse

A E

That I've ever seen my way through

Bm D

Don't you wish you knew better by now

A E

Well I think I'm starting to

[Chorus 3]

Bm D A

When every line speaks the language of love

And never held the meaning I was thinking of

Bm D A

And I've lost the line between right or wrong

I just wanna find the place where I belong

(Cello Solo)

Bm D

Why should you know better by now

A E

When you're old enough not to

Bm D

I wish I knew better by now

A E

When I'm old enough not to

(Cello Solo)
