Stem The Flow

Intro 
A F#m C#m7 D 

 
        A 
I don't think you ever loved me and I have to believe that now 
            F#m 
'Cause otherwise, I'll look for love like yours in every place around 
        C#m7 
The love that flows like blood does, that I'll search for through the years 
         D 
You speak through gritted teeth, sayin', "My darlin', I'm right here" 
    A 
And it is not my fault, it's something I was learnin' 
  F#m 
I only feel at home, now, in a home when it is burning 
      C#m7 
After gathering this knowledge, I have to face the truth 
        D 
That you never loved m, but I tried so hard to love you 
 

 
      A                             F#m 
And I want you to try so that I can thank you for tryin' 
          C#m7                            D 
And then mayb that will make you try some more 
        A                                  F#m 
In the whites of your eyes, I can see they know of your crimes, but 
                 E                                                    D 
Confession won't slip willingly past your lips until you're on death's door 
               F#m                      E                      A 
It's not in my nature to forgive bad behaviour except when it's yours 
 

 
                     A 
And what makes me go crazy, I can never slam the door 
                       F#m 
If you walked in right now with a new lie, then I'd be yours 
       C#m7 
You've always got a foot in, you've always got a start 
         D 
And the fact you never take that chance, it fucking breaks my heart 
       A 
And now I'm unforgiving, my mother doesn't understand 
         F#m 
I wasn't born an angry child, but I became an angry man 
 

 
      A                             F#m 
And I want you to try so that I can thank you for tryin' 
          C#m7                            D 
And then mayb that will make you try some more 
  A                       F#m 
I cant stem the flow and God only knows 
                    C#m7            E                D 
Where you hide your stash of broken glass as the red pours 
               F#m                    E        A 
It's not in my nature, it's not in my nature  

A F#m C#m7 D 


 
A 
  Forgiveness was never my strong suit 
D 
  But neither was givin' up on you 
E                                D 
  Forgiveness was never my strong suit 
 

 
      A                             F#m 
And I want you to try so that I can thank you for tryin' 
         E                                 D 
And then mayb that will make you try some more 
  F#m                     D 
I cant stem the flow and God only knows 
                    C#m7            E               D 
Where you hide your stash of broken glass as the red pours
