Drown Tab par Front Porch Step

personal version of this song with altered lyrics

Em   C   G   D
Em   C   G   D
 
 
 
     Em     C
Well I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
 
     G                             D
just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
 
  Em   C
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken,
 
G       D
Begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.
 
Em       C
Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call 
 
          G
Where you said you'd always love me, 
 
           D
Do you not tell the truth at all?
 
  Em                           C
Well if I ever cross your mind make sure you write down the times,
 
   G      D
so I will know the moments I was eating you alive.
 
 
 
      Em  C    G
Now I lay here waiting with the hope that I might find some sleep.
 
  D    Em
I need some sleep tonight.
 
 C           G
 'Cause I've been waiting on your call but I know it will never come but 
 
    D     Em
I'm still waiting by the phone.
 
       Em
And don't you dare, don't you dare, say you ever loved me, or even tell me that you cared
 
 
   Em
Cause you knew what you were doing and you know just what you've done.
 
    G                                  D
How could you say you miss me when we both know what's been done?
 
     Em
I feel shattered, feel defeated but I'm trying to move on.
 
     G       D
I am cold with no direction but I'm lost without your warmth.
 
    Em
I'm trying hard to find some hope that I might get the chance to breathe.
 
    G      D
Get off my mind, give back my heart I just need to be set free.
 
  Em
I know I couldn't give you much, but I know I gave my best,
 
         G                                D
you were always my safe place but I just need the space to breathe.
 
      Em
And I know I gave the world everything I've ever had, 
 
       G                                  D
Johnny Cash said love would burn, I never thought it hurt this bad.
 
 
 
     Em        C
Well I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
 
     G      D
just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
 
    Em    C
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken,
 
 G      D
begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.
 
 Em      C
Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call 
 
          G
where you said you'd always love me, 
 
           D
do you not tell the truth at all?
 
          Em                   D
Well if I ever cross your mind make sure you write down the times,
 
   G                             D
so I will know the moments I was eating you alive.

(Strum once per chord)
 
            Em
You are the itch that's on my back, 
 
            C
you are the gum under my shoe, 
 
            G
you are the horrors of my past, 
 
            D
you are the chill that haunts the room, 
 
         Em
you are creaking on my steps, 
 
        C
you are the shadow on my days, 
 
        G
you are the ghost of my mistakes,
 
    D
But now it's time to let you fade.
 
D  C
