When You're Wrong

Intro: Am   Am 


  Am                                  G 
"Don't go borrowin' trouble," that's what you used to say 
    D                                  F 
But we don't keep in touch the way we used to nowadays 

     Am                             G 
Your eyes are not as bright as I remember them to be 
     D                                   F                Em7 
The light inside's grown dim and that's hard for me to see 


 
     Am                                G 
The creases on your forehead run like treads on a tire 
     D                                         F 
The white stripe runnin' through your bangs a long twisted spire 

        Am                                     G 
You're sweepin' up the floods and you've been vacuumin' the fires 
         D                              F          Em7 
And you lay down every night next to a goddamn liar 


 
    Am7                       G 
You may be here today, but tomorrow, you're a ghost 
             D                               F 
I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay 

    Am                                    G 
Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue 
         D                                 F 
Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away 

 F                                     Em7 
Strong enough to love you when you're wrong 
         F                                   Em7 
Someone strong enough to love you when you're 
 Am   G  D  F 
Wrong 


 
         Am                              G 
When the day is winding down, my heart abandons me for you 
        D                           F 
You forgot yourself so long ago and I wish I could too 

         Am                          G 
But you live inside a quiet hell no one can pray away 
 D                              F               Em7 
Leavin' would be easy, I understand why you stay 


 
    Am7                       G 
You may be here today, but tomorrow, you're a ghost 
             D                               F 
I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay 

    Am                                    G 
Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue 
         D                                 F 
Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away 

 F                                     Em7 
Strong enough to love you when you're wrong 
         F                                   Em7 
Someone strong enough to love you when you're 
             Am   G  D  F 
When you're wrong 



          Am                                 G 
You'd be wrong if you were thinkin' that we all don't fade away 
      D                           F 
Like dew drops in the dawn, like sun beams through the haze 

        Am                              G 
It's a long way to be sinkin', holdin' tightly to the weights 
        D                                F                    Em7 
Of the one who pulls you down while you slowly waste your days 



         F                                     Em7 
Someone strong enough to love you when you're wrong 
         F                                   Em7 
Someone strong enough to love you when you're 
 Am   G 
Wrong 
             D    F 
When you're wrong
