[Verse] AmF Give me mercy and a minute now. I’ma bleed a little poison CG out. I’ma cry a little river down, then I’m setting this whole AmF thing on fire. And I’m burning up the night she died. I’m C putting every last picture aside, I’m gonna say what I need to GAm say. In my very last letter to you 'Cause you always made it FC clear, said you’d never be my pain. So here’s to you and your GAm bright baby blues, just a pause to cool the refrain. F And you said were satisfied, that this body just weighted the CG tide. And that you missed him sometimes, but you said it's all right, its just a whole lot harder alone.
AmC/BF x 3 G
[Chorus] CGAm But I wish you knew her now. She’s the better side of me now. FC I’m doing the best I can. That's what you'da wanted. And I see GAm like you were there. I know just how you'd smile. Mary, you F looked just like, it was 1930 that night.
[Verse] AmF But hear the days will eat you alive, but I won’t give in CG tonight. You said its not worth my time, and not to regard AmF them. And not to settle just for piece of mind, I could wait CGAm it out all night, If I just keep breathing [sigh] But Mary, FC I found the sound, and if this heart keeps pouring it out, G The glory hasn't come, and it's probably gonna fade, like a AmF tattoo that hides this shame. But reasons always fade. C The pain gives out some day. So I’m saying my goodbyes to your GAmC/BF deep blue eyes, cause I don’t know how say, to stay still AmC/BFAmC/BFG in the pain. Stay still in the pain.
[Chorus] CGAm But I wish you knew her now. She’s the better side of me now. FC I’m doing the best I can. That's what you'da wanted. And I see GAm like you were there. I know just how you'd smile. Mary, you F looked just like, it was 1930 that night.
[Interlude] CFCF (picking)
[Verse] CGAm And if I recall the last thing you said to me, before it broke CGF up. Before it took you from me. CGAmF You said I love you more than the stars in the sky, but your CGAmF name just escapes me tonight. (Nobody does it like you anymore)
