Em Am D G

G B C Em

G B C D

Em Em

VERSE:

Em Am

Whoever's dear to you hold them close tonight

D G

‘Cause you never know what will come

Em Am

Morning breaks and it’s just you and the shakes

D G

If you made the right decision then you’re gone

Em Am

Your broken promises are thrown out in the yard

How they glisten in the dawn

Screaming like a Banshee all night long

INSTRUMENTAL:

G B C Em

CHORUS:

G B

My hands are raw from working through the fall

C Em

Just to make my way back to you

G B

If what it takes is to live out my mistakes

C D

Then honey I will pay my dues

G B

Hard to recall when did this world get so damn small

C Em

And my body so worn and used

G B

It’s harder yet to forgive and forget

C D Em Em

When my memories are laced and blue

VERSE:

Em Am

That broken record starts playing on its own

D G

Spinning out when no one else is home

Em Am

And if you listen ‘til the end

It flips itself and plays again

All night long

Em Am

It’s not the songs or when the lights turn off and on

D G

Or the screaming in my head that never ends

Em Am

It’s not your ghost that haunts me the most

D B Em

But the fact that we may never meet again

INSTRUMENTAL:

G B C Em

CHORUS:

G B

My hands are raw from working through the fall

C Em

Just to make my way back to you

Then honey I will pay my dues

G B

Hard to recall when did this world get so damn small

C Em

And my body so worn and used

G B

It’s harder yet to forgive and forget

C D G

When my memories are laced and blue ooh, ooh, ooh
