[Verse 1]
WCell, you wake the love that sleeps inside
And dreamed that she had never died
WCipe that tear but you don't know why
BGoy, you're pretty, but
You're just Fnot for meG  
Better love I do not Csee
[Verse 2]
This Cgirl, she had it kinda sweet
Till fame swept her off her feet
Sees Cnothing she did before
Let's her colors hit the floor
GScars are in her name
And she Fscars me in blameG  
Hey Scarlet, you're not the Csame
[Chorus]
So be Amcareful what you choose
I feel Flove for me and you
I'm not aCshamed
So I'll Amwalk another mile
I Fhelp you find out, child
GI don't know what to do
I feel Flost without youG  
Better love will come to Cyou
[Verse 3]
So CI flew West to see her part
Two weeks since the music died
I Cwatch the camera shoot this girl
Seems to me a hollow pearl
GMother sat me down,
"What's it Flike oh my boy,G  
to be so desCtroyed"
[Chorus]
So be Amcareful what you choose
I felt Flove for me and you
I'm not aCshamed
So I'll Amwalk another mile
To Fhelp you find out, child
GI don't know what to do
I feel Flost without youG  
Better love to take you Cthrough
[Instrumental]

So Chere I sit. Some years have passed
I say I don't but I miss her bad
I Csmell her in my sheets you see
Like she's sleeping next to me
She'll say
GJack, I'm leaving now
So Don't you Fwait up for meG  
Cause better love I'm yet to Csee..

[Verse 1]

Well, you wake the love that sleeps inside

And dreamed that she had never died

Wipe that tear but you don't know why

Boy, you're pretty, but

F G

You're just not for me

Better love I do not see

[Verse 2]

This girl, she had it kinda sweet

Till fame swept her off her feet

Sees nothing she did before

Let's her colors hit the floor

Scars are in her name

F G

And she scars me in blame

Hey Scarlet, you're not the same

[Chorus]

So be careful what you choose

I feel love for me and you

I'm not ashamed

So I'll walk another mile

I help you find out, child

I don't know what to do

F G

I feel lost without you

Better love will come to you

[Verse 3]

So I flew West to see her part

Two weeks since the music died

I watch the camera shoot this girl

Seems to me a hollow pearl

Mother sat me down,

F G

"What's it like oh my boy,

to be so destroyed"

[Chorus]

So be careful what you choose

I felt love for me and you

I'm not ashamed

So I'll walk another mile

To help you find out, child

I don't know what to do

F G

I feel lost without you

Better love to take you through

[Instrumental]

Am F C

Am F G F G

[Verse 4]

So here I sit. Some years have passed

I say I don't but I miss her bad

I smell her in my sheets you see

Like she's sleeping next to me

She'll say

Jack, I'm leaving now

F G

So Don't you wait up for me

Cause better love I'm yet to see..
