Am7 
Walked down by the river 
          C 
While we eat our store-bought dinner 
     F                C 
You talked about how much you wanna go home 

C G/B Am7 
      I'm afraid to tell you 
        C 
That I think that I should leave you 
    F                                  C 
In fear of making a fool of myself to change my mind later on 
 

 
C G/B  Am7 
     I left you for a reason 
         C 
And you crawled back just to leave me 
         F 
While I grew and grew 
                               C 
And broke and bent through it all 

C G/B    Am7 
     And Mighty Lord's been watching my steps 
    C 
To make sure I don't slip back into 
  F                            C        C 
Another sorry stage of being abandoned 
 

 
C G/B               Am7 
     'Cause there's only one more route I'll take 
     C 
And that's the one where I finally wake up 
     F                              C 
And cut off everything I have from everyone 

C G/B Am7 
      Finally had to let you go 
     C                                  F 
And leave you to what only you know is good for you 
                                C    C 
Till you finally see that it's not 
 

 
C C/E Am7 
      Now I know I can't just wait on 
 C 
Something that's not on its way 
  F                           C 
Eventually, I'll have to move on 

C G/B Am7 
      Like the dead trees in December 
 C 
Like the frostbite as I shiver 
 F                                  C 
All of you has left me cold as I've ever been 

F                C 
I just want you out my skin 
    Am7       Am 
You killed me once 
         G 
And I'd let you again

   Am 
I thought that I could numb this pain 
 C 
Why can't I just step away? 
Fmaj7                                C 
Baby, you were damaging me from the start 

C G/B  Am 
     I cut off all my bitterness 
    C 
And every part of you I've got left 
    Fmaj7                            Cmaj7 
But some things will never truly go away 
 

 
C G/B Am 
      Now I know I can't just wait on 
 C 
Something that's not on its way 
  Fmaj7                       C 
Eventually, I'll have to move on 

C G/B Am 
      Like the dead trees in December 
 C 
Like the frostbite as I shiver 
 F                                  C 
All of you has left me cold as I've ever been 

Fmaj7              C 
  I just want you out my skin 
    Am7 
You killed me once 
         G 
And I'd let you 
             Fmaj7  C 
I'd let you agaaaa-ain
