(Sorry, I'm really not the best at tabbing finger picking pieces. Sometimes, it seems like my hands can understand the rhythm better than my head can -- I'm certainly trying to be helpful, keep that in mind!)
EmAmCEm like the memory from your mother's house from before you got too old EmAmCEm like the feeling from a photograph before it's meanings all got told DAmGAm the words I say can be silver, but what's left unsaid can be gold Bm7/AAmEm so get to know me once I go away
EmAmCEm maybe 'cause I come from such an empty-hearted town EmAmCEm or maybe 'cause some love of mine had really let me down DAmGAm but the only time I am lonely is when others are around Bm7/AAmEm I just never end up knowing what to say
Chorus: CG if I wanted someone to clean me up, I'd find myself a maid DAmEm if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn't need to get paid CG if I wanted someone to understand me, I'd have so much more to say DC I want you to make the days move easy
REPEAT INTRO:
EmAmCEm I took everything I thought from what it means to be a man EmAmCEm we need words to be put to what we do not understand DAmGAm while you lean into the echoes and you do not raise a hand Bm7A Am Em oh woman, help me see it like it is
VERSE CHORDS PLAYED TWICE:
Chorus: CG if I wanted someone to clean me up, I'd find myself a maid DAmEm if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn't need to get paid CG if I wanted someone to understand me, I'd have so much more to say DC I want you to make the days move easy
CG if I wanted someone to clean me up, I'd find myself a maid DAmEm if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn't need to get paid CG if I wanted someone to cut me down, I'd have handed you the blade DC I want you to make the days move easy DC I just want you to make the days move easy
REPEAT INTRO:
END!!!
