VERSE1 
G                                 Dm                    Cmaj7 
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind 
   G                                                Dm          Cmaj7 
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it 
    G                                      Dm         Cmaj7 
And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget 
    G                                                  Dm 
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love  
                Cmaj7 
if it does not exist, but darling

VERSE2 
                               Dm                   Cmaj7 
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts 
    G                                         Dm                     Cmaj7 
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face 
    G                                        Dm        Cmaj7 
And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance 
    G                                              Dm              Cmaj7 
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness 

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't

Let go of what's in front of me here 
              Am 
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up 
         G                                  D          C 
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa
