Only Child

      G              C      G 
On my shoulder as we laid awake 
        C       G       D    B   Em 
And you always loved a smoke by eight 
       B           C 
'Cause baby don't mind 
            G                    C          G 
Gets never colder than when the daylight breaks 
       C        G        D  B   Em 
Do you now regret the bed we made? 
        B           C 
Does it cross your mind? 
     G             C          G 
Well baby, does it cross your mind? 


      C      Em      B       C     Em 
I did not intend to slow you down, mm 
      D         D/A         F        C 
Even hoped that we would've spoke by now 
      G               D    G 
I was acting like an only child 


      G                  C      G 
What takes forever is a lesson learned 
        C          G           D    B      Em 
I have nothing to show for the medals I've earned 
    B        C 
And maybe I mind 
        G                     C          G 
'Cause no one's ever seen me traipsing in 
           C            G       D     B   Em 
I've been hiding from all the places I've been 
     B           C 
And sore from trying 
     G             C        G 
And acting like an only child 


      C      Em      B       C     Em 
I did not intend to slow you down, mm 
      D         D/A              F        C 
Even though I'd hoped we'd have spoke by now 
G             D    G 
Maybe we were only lying

C        G                      C            G 
Heaven's closing, they're still pouring drinks 
        C          G   D     B   Em 
And of all those crazy ways you think 
   B       C 
I love you lying 
    G                       D    B   Em 
But I can't reason with the past we face 
     D     G       D    B   Em 
I'm sorry for the mess we made 
           C           G            B      Em 
And if you want, we'll pick through my mistakes 
        B     C 
You'll see me crying 
     G 
But maybe we could put it all behind 


      C      Em       B         C     Em 
I did not intend to force your hand, ooo 
      D        D/A        F     C 
Even though we swore we'd understand 
G                  B   Em 
Maybe we'll be always trying
