Legs

	  		 


      A 
When I finally heard the news my dear it wasn't from your mouth  
            Em 
He just looked me in the eye and then he let the words spill out 
G 
Darling I'm so happy you've been waiting for so long 
       D 
To finally find a guy to hold that has more right than wrong  
       A 
And, what's this is he actually for real? 
                 Em 
At least it was good to know that you had a heart to steal 
G 
I held it for a while, tell me that's not true 
D 
My dear we've cleared these last two years, that's been a gift to you.  
  A          Em 
So picture this when you go to kiss  
    G                           D 
I hope that every time you'll think of me 
C         D 
And I'm gonna let it get to me 

(Chorus) 

             A 
I know the scars on your legs  
              Em 
I've seen them in my head  
        G 
Like a map up to you 
           D 
When I'm climbing into bed 
              A 
And I don't think that it's fair  
               Em 
That he would lie with you there and use 
G                 D 
My directions to get right there next to you 

(Repeat these same chords for the rest of the song)  

Forget the who the what the when the question here is why 
You set the bar so high and then you dropped it for this guy 
You're into insincerity it's scary that I wonder 
Perhaps the bar was raised so high that he just walked right under 

What's this is it actually for real? 
Why don't you pick an extra day, call and ask her how she feels 
Suppose you could just wait a month you'll find out for yourself 
The worst part is the truth, you're just like everybody else 
      A                    Em             G 
So picture this when you go to kiss I hope 
                          D        A 
That every time you'll think of me 
                             Em 
Your then and now they will all run out  
           G                     Em 
I know he can't compare to what I used to be 
     C                D 
And I'm gonna let it get to me 

I know the scars on your legs 
I've seen them in my head 
Like a map up to you when I'm climbing into bed 
And I don't think that it's fair that he would lie with you there  
And use my directions to get right there next to you.  

Do you remember when we held each other on the twenty third? 
As silent as your heartbeat, was the only thing I heard 
Does he know your dogs names? 
Or the fact that he can't claim 

That he knows the scars on your legs 
Still see them in my head 
Like a map, up to you 
When we climb into bed  
And I don't think that it's fair 
That I can't lie with you there and use 
My directions to get right there next to you.  

(Chorus repeat)
