Does My Ring Burn Your Finger

	  		

Em 
When I gave you my heart 
       A    G         Em 
It was not what you wanted 
Em 
Now the walls say your name 
        A       G      Em 
And the pictures are haunted 
        A     G         Em 
Does my ring burn your finger 
       A     G         Em 
Did my love weigh you down 
      A       G   Em 
Was a promise to much 
        B        Em   A  B   Em 
To keep around 
  Em 
I remember your words 
      A      G         Em 
And I can't keep from crying 
Em 
I could never believe 
          A      G      Em 
That your kisses were lying 
           A         G      Em 
Was there something from the past 
       A     G       Em 
Buried in a shallow grave 
        A                 G        Em       B 
Did you think that it was too far gone to save

Please tell me baby 

Please tell me now 
   A 
You say that I should just go on 
                            Em 
Now please tell me how 
         Em 
Now it's just me and the night 
        A         G   Em 
And I'm so broken hearted 
Em 
I just wait in the dark here 
       A      G    Em 
For my dearly departed 
        A     G         Em 
Does my ring burn your finger 
       A      G        Em 
Did my love weigh you down 
      A      G   Em 
Was a promise to much 
        B         Em    A  B  Em 
To keep around
