[Verse 1]
G D
Pull away to you in your best blue dress.
Am Em D
Silos and rolling hills, your eyes in brilliant focus.
G D
We learned how our bodies worked, soft and familiar,
Am Em D
But you couldn't shake the fear of something so similar.
[Chorus 1]
C G
You return to him ‘cos he reminds you of your father,
Em D
And it helps you sleep at night and brings you comfort.
C G
I can't seem to throw away the letters or the pictures
Em D
For some kind of truth or proof that all of this really happened.
C G
If you would've tried, I would've tried.
D
If commitment's what you wanted,
C
I would've been the anchor by your side.
C G
If you would've stayed, well, I would've stayed.
D C
But the only way to love you now is to walk away.
[Interlude]
C | G | D
[Verse 2]
G D
You walked bar to bar, a wicker basket held high,
Am Em D
Selling roses to the drunkards, and I bought one every time.
G D
Stumble up the stairs, hand in hand, up to the roof.
Am Em D
Love is something that will lead you, not something you can choose.
[Chorus 2]
C G
So many years have passed since all that wine.
Em D
You're a mother now and how I bet you made a beautiful bride.
C G
I can't seem to throw away the letters or the pictures
Em D
For some kind of truth or proof that all of this really happened. (C)
C G
If you would've tried, I would've tried.
D
If commitment's what you wanted,
C
I would've been the anchor by your side.
C G
If you would've stayed, well, I would've stayed.
D C
But the only way to love you now is to walk away.
[Outro]
C
If you would've prayed...
G
O, how I did pray.
D
But the only way to love something
C
Is to give it away.
G D
Pull away to you in your best blue dress.
Am Em D
Silos and rolling hills, your eyes in brilliant focus.
G D
We learned how our bodies worked, soft and familiar,
