[Verse 1]
A
These strings mean more to me than you'll ever know
A
Between the busted hearts and playing games
A
Yea you played me while I played these strings
A C A
But this box guitar will always stay the same
A
Because only one man's fingers has slid across this neck
A
But I guess the same doesn't go for you
A
so I'll guess I'll strike up another tune baby baby baby who played you best
[Chorus]
A D
So while I slap another chord
E D# D
Bend another string
A G A
Let these fingers play some catch up with my heart as they run away
A
Like you
G
What to do
A E D# D
Wither or build girl this here's my shield
C G A
Because I'm a second and third fret dance floor with one pick away.
(Pause)
N.C.
I knew you never loved me anyway
[solo]
A C A D A C E D# D
[Verse 2]
A
And all the early nights you said you were headed home
A
Was just a meet up session
A
Of lies and kissing lesson
A
Oh you serpent disguised as blessing
A D A
And now these strings take the beating of a life you made a mess in yea
[solo 2]
A D C D D C
A D
So I throw some mids on and tune these keys , yea I never pictured me Taylor swifting memories
A
But here's a ballad made for the one who claimed
(pause)N.C.
One and only
[Chorus]
A D
So while I slap another chord
E D# D
Bend another string
A G A
Let these fingers play some catch up with my heart as they run away
A
Like you
G
What to do
A E D# D
Wither or build girl this here's my shield
C G A
Because I'm a second and third fret dance floor with one pick away.
(Pause)
N.C.
I knew you never loved me anyway
[Outro]
A C E D C
Fingers take me on a dance
A C E D E
I'll pick and play till this hearts mended
A C E D C
Beg and plead makes no difference to me
A C E D C
Because id rather have these strings rust
(Drag out C note)
N.C.
Before you get a second chance with me
