and she's right on time

You don't know anything

You don't owe anything to anyone

C C Em Em F F G G

F F C C
But don't take your life
F F C C
'cause it's all that you've got
Am Am Em Em
You'd be better off just up and leaving
Dm Dm F F
if you don't think they will stop

C C G G
And when you wake up
Am Am F F
everything is gonna be fine
C C G G
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
Am Am F F
in a better time

feel like you might give in

it's not your time

C C G G
Looking through the paper today
Am Am F F
looking for a specific page
C C G G Am Am F F
Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
C C G G
because when i left her alone

"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"
C C Em Em
Fuck buying flowers for graves
F F G G
I'd rather buy you
C C Em Em F F G G
a one way non-stop to anywhere
C C Em Em
find anyone do anything
F F G G C C
forget and start again, love
Em Em F F G G
She said she won't go It hurts too

C C
much to stand by
G G Am Am
you've got to stop and draw a line
F F
Everyone here has to choose a
C C
side tonight the
G G
moment of truth is haunting you
Am Am
Don't forget your family
F F
regardless what you choose to do
C C
You can't decide
G G
and they're all screaming "why won't you?"
Am Am F F
I'll start the engine but I can't take this ride for you
C C G G
I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun
Am Am F F G G
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt

Oh I wouldn't let you go
Am Am F F
you could run run run run but I will follow close
C C G G
Someday you will say "that's it, that's all"
Am Am F F
but I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
C C G G
I know that you think that you're on your own
Am Am
but just know that I'm here
F F
and I'll lead you home
C C G G
if you let me
Am Am F F G G
She said "forget me"
C C
but I can't
