[Verse 1]
C Bb
So you wanna tell the truth
Bb Dm C
What am I supposed to do for you?
C Bb
Either bend down over backwards
Bb Dm C
Or absolved in your pretty little wounds
C Bb
I’ve been hanging round for days
Bb Dm Am
And I just don’t think I feel the same
Am Bb
I know you don’t wanna hear it
Bb Dm C Bb
But I wasn’t meant to stay
[Chorus]
Bb F
Love sure is a damn strong word
C
Not meant to be used so lightly
Gm
I’ve been thinking bout you nightly
Bb
And it just ain’t feeling right
Bb F
What we got is real, I know
C
I ain’t walking out the door
Gm
I’ll be good, at least I hope
Bb F C
But I just can’t spend the night
C Bb F C
No, I just can’t spend the night
[Verse 2]
C Bb
I guess you’re the same as me (I guess you’re the same as me)
Bb Dm Am
Gotta wear your heart at on your sleeve
Am Bb
But the difference that I’m seeing
Bb Dm C
I’ve broken yourself keeps a steady beat
Bb
I’ve been broken for too long (I’ve been broken for too long)
Bb Dm Am
Drinking whiskey, singing sad, sad songs
Am Bb
Don’t care if you wanna hear it
Bb Dm C
By the bottom I’ll be long gone
[Chorus]
Bb F
Love sure is a damn strong word
C
Not meant to be used so lightly
Gm
I’ve been thinking bout you nightly
Bb
And it just ain’t feeling right
Bb F
What we got is real, I know
C
I ain’t walking out the door
Gm
I’ll be good, at least I hope
Bb F C
But I just can’t spend the night
C Bb F C
No, I just can’t spend the night
[Solo]
Dm G Dm G
C C C7 C7
[Chorus]
Bb F
Love sure is a damn strong word
C
Not meant to be used so lightly
Gm
I’ve been thinking bout you nightly
Bb
And it just ain’t feeling right
Bb F
What we got is real, I know
C
I ain’t walking out the door
Gm
I’ll be good, at least I hope
Bb F C
But I just can’t spend the night
C Bb F C
No, I just can’t spend the night
Bb F C
But I just can’t spend the night
C Bb F C
No, I just can’t spend the night
[Outro]
(slowly)
C Dm
So you wanna tell the truth
