I'm sorry the placement of the chords are a little off in the tab. I couldn't get
them to line up exactly right.
Capo: 5
G
I should have been careless, I should have been callous
C
underneath the street lamp's sodium glare
G
I should have been thorough, I should have pushed you back your stubborn heart
C
and left you once and forever there
Em
but I kissed you
D/F# G
I smiled as I said goodbye
Em
and I meant what I said
C D
this is a rough road you wed
G
I'm sitting here in Dallas, in a dive in Texas
C
with an ache like a forearm for the spoon
G
I am peeling back the labels, I'm spinning empty bottles on the bar
C
lonely litters the room
Em
and I miss you
D/F# G
even more than you warned I would
Em
this is a bitch of a test
C D
this is my white flag at best
(no guitar on album – Em)
step up, be brave, lay down you guard
give in an inch, give up your heart
Em A
just imagine how it'll feel if I let you take me home
C
just imagine waking up sorry and alone
D
with my head upon your chest
C
with my hand across my mouth
D C
there are things in life I swore that I could live and do without
D D
but I swear that was before you found me
G
I couldn't be careless, I couldn't be callous
C
on the night of our fourth of July
G
I couldn't be thorough, I couldn't push you back your stubborn heart
C
underneath the roman candle light
Em
now I miss you
D/F# G
even more though I swore I never could
Em
this is a bitch of a test
C
this is my white flag at best
D/F# G
of all the pretty places that I've been
Em
honey none compare to you
C D
I am sorry through and through oooh aaah
C D
Ooh aah aaah aah aah
A C D G
Oooh oh ooh and if you'll have me I am coming home to you.
