I Know It Wont Work

Bm          G 
 I left you here 
        D               A 
A radio keeps the extra closet empty 
Bm            G 
 In case this year 
       D                     A 
I come back and stay through all my twenties 
Bm         G 
 What if I won't 
       D             A 
How am I supposed to put that gently? 
Bm            G 
 And down the road 
         D             A             Bm  D  G  A 
You will love me until you resent me, mmm 



Bm            G 
 I've had the thought 
         D                   A 
Tried to work it out through anxious pacin' 
Bm           G 
 What if I'm not 
          D                 A 
Worth the time and breath I know you're savin'? 
Bm          G 
 But it's a lot 
        D               A 
All the shine of half a decade fadin' 
Bm         G 
 The whole facade 
        D              A           Bm  D  G  A 
Seem to fall, but it's complicated, mmm 



D                      G 
 A part of me wants to walk away 'til you really wishin' 
D                       Em 
 I hate to look in your face and know that we're feelin' different 
D                  G 
 'Cause part of me wants you back, but 
D                Em 
 I know it won't work like that, huh 
D                     G 
 Why won't try movin' on for once? That might make it easy 
D                      Em 
 I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin' 
D               G 
 And part of me wants you back, but 
D                Em                  D  G 
 I know it won't work like that, huh 
D 
 I know it won't work like that 



          G 
I'll open up 
             D 
And thinkin' everythin' you wish I wasn't 
             G 
The call was tough 
          D 
But you're better off, I'm bein' honest 
              G 
So, won't you stop 
        D 
Holdin' out for me when I don't want it? 
              G 
Just brush me off 
                D 
'Cause I'm your ghost right now, your house is haunted 


D                      G

                Em                D  G      D
