[Intro]
D G Bm G
[Verse]
D
I had a feeling
G Bm
That my life had lost the sum of its momentum
G
And I was at the tail end winding down
D G
Then I get to thinking about the friends that i’??ve lost
Bm
And the bridges I‘ve burned just to get here
G
I was kicking at some coals that ain't gone out
But the night that we sweated out into the street
G
With the heaviest snow falling down on my feet
Bm
I know I got myself into this
A G
But I don’t see myself getting out alive
[Chorus]
D A G
'cause If it happened once there’s
D A G
Bound to be another one
Bm D A
I don’t need to say
G
How I need you in the worst way
Bm
I need you in the worst way
D
Like your dim lit alley
A G
Needs your cigarettes in the rain
A D
Burning and waiting for the curtain to fall
[Verse]
G
I know, she said, l’ve been holding this weightâ?
Bm
She wouldn’t look me in the eye
We broke slow over the night
G
I couldn’t set that story straight
D G
I wish I could say that it wasn’t my fault
Bm
I got too good at being gone out singing former lovers?? songs
G
I saw the writing on her wall
D
But that night that we
Yea! When we waded out into the sea
G
And we washed these sins off of me
Bm A G
And now I don’t see myself getting out alive
[Chorus]
D A
'cause If it happens once
G D A
There's? bound to be another one
G Bm D
i don’t need to say
A G Em Bm A G
How I need you in the worst way
[Outro]
Em
So Maria won’t you dance a little longer?
Bm A
Pour your drink a little stronger
G
Let it calm you down
A D
Let a strong drink calm you down
A
Let it calm you down
Em
I’ll hold up the losing end
A G
Until they lay me in the ground
D
And god rest my bones
A
But if left alone
Bm
I know they’re going to dig until
A G
They find their way back home
Bm A G
Over the rivers, and the fields full of snow
Bm A D
Over the mountain pass in the Colorado cold
