My past is bigger than me 
E7         F           C    C 
Presses me down in my sleep 
E7     F             C    C 
I had enough for the bus 
E7       F        C      C 
You had enough to love me 


 
E7           F              C    C 
The pictures find me in the dark 
E7           F      C    C 
I chase them out, I bark 
    E7         F         C    C 
But I'll never do you no harm 
      E7        F       C    C 
Cause I go weak in your arms 


 
   C         G            Am          F 
So pardon me please, I am green, I am weak 
  C            G          Am   F 
I need someone next to my body 
C               G            Am             F 
You've got some years on me, you've got the dignity 
C             G      Am    F 
I'll keep you company 
E7          F       C    C 
If you were bad for me 
       E7           F        C    C 
You'd still stay in bed with me

E7          F                  C    C 
Your anger sleeps 'neath your skin 
E7          F          C    C 
My memories eat from within 
    E7            F       C    C 
But you have your medicine 
    E7        F       C    C 
And I have my medicine 

 
E7            F           C    C 
She keeps her eyes off of me 
E7          F         C       C 
Windowsill, tabletop, boxes I carry 
  E7         F            C            C 
I nod as you say that she doesn't have sway 
        E7          F        C    C 
But someday it will mean something 


 
E7         F            C                 C 
Will me to walk out the door, what's the score? 
        E7        F             C              C 
Because I did the worse thing before, and once more 
         E7            F                C           C 
Well you have your own crimes, I'm just one dick in line 
        E7          F             C    C 
Keep me foremost in mind, I'll be fine 
      E7             F        C    C 
Cause you don't need me to be free 
    E7               F             C            C 
I'm walking through streets as the moon follows me 
    E7       F         C          C 
Yet here you are on my cellphone screen 
        E7         F           C   C 
You are miles away and you are lonely 
        E7         F           C   C 
You are miles away and you are lovely 

 
   C         G            Am          F 
So pardon me please, I am green, I am weak 
      C            G          Am   F 
And I need someone next to my body 
C               G            Am             F 
You've got some years on me, you've got the dignity 
C             G      Am    F 
I'll keep you company
