String By

[Intro ]
G 

 
G 
Laying awake in your bed 
          Am 
Hiding myself from the things you did 
           D 
These past months Ive tried 
   D7                  G 
To bury my head in the sand 
G 
Last night I told you I'm out 
                  Am 
Though part of me wants you still around 
    D                 D7 
But im not a toy on a string 
        G 
Just to drag around 
 

 
               Am 
Cause when you call me up 
   D 
At 2 am 
G      D/F#     Em 
Crying that you need me again 
Am 
Fluttering your eyes 
    D 
And pulling me in 
G        D/F#        Em 
You sure know how to make me sin 
  Am         D 
No, I wont go 
            G        D/F#       Em 
And I won't fall for it this time 
          Am 
So you're best to go 
     D                      G 
Find someone else to string by 
 

 
G 
Each night I wait for the ring 
            Am 
Of my telephone laying next to me 
            D 
You lie and say youve changed 
         D7                   G 
But your voice still comforts me 
     G 
Lord send me away from this woman or planet 
   Am 
Id gladly aboard the next rocket 

If I'm honest 
       D                               D7            G 
Cause I can't escape the devil thats whispering to me 

And won't let me leave 
 

 
               Am 
Cause when you call me up 
   D 
At 2 am 
G      D/F#     Em 
Crying that you need me again 
Am 
Fluttering your eyes 
    D 
And pulling me in 
G        D/F#        Em 
You sure know how to make me sin 
  Am         D 
No, I wont go 
            G        D/F#       Em 
And I won't fall for it this time 
          Am 
So you're best to go 
     D                      G 
Find someone else to string by 
          Am 
So you're best to go 
     D                      G 
Find someone else to string by
