Half A Mind

	  		E 
Sometimes I wish, we had a short term memory 
B               E              A 
Just enough to recognize each other's face 
E                                B 
It would be the same old stories but you're 
B                              A 
Hanging onto every single word I have to say 

D        A                  E 
To the world I'm not that clever 
B                           F# 
But you would stay with me forever 
C                            D 
I'd keep your friends from reminding 
D 
Reminding you to 

E                          B 
Save yourself, leave me behind 
B                     E      A 
You would if you had half a mind 

E                        
I'd tell you every day's your birthday 
     B                      A 
And every gift I bring could be the same 
A      E                                      B 
Or how I stood beside you at a shotgun wedding 
B                                 A 
And the child we both would love but never came 

D               A            E 
Hearing stories that were never 
B                      F# 
You would stay with me forever 
C                    D 
But I'd forget to make money 
                E 
You'd forget to 

E                           B 
Save yourself, leave me behind 
                          E 
You would if you had half a mind 
A 
How vulnerable you are 
E                    
Rob this house and leave me blind 
B                     A 
You would if you had half a mind 
A 
How effortless to stay together 

D         A                E 
For these ties you may have severed 
B              F# 
I'll just stay right here forever 
C                               D 
And so you write on your forehead 
D                       C 
Or better yet you engrave 
C                          D 
So when you look in the mirror 
D                   
Well, you don't forget to 
E                           B 
Save yourself, leave me behind 
B 
You would if you had half a mind 
A 
How vulnerable you are 
E                           B 
Rob this house and leave me blind 
B                              A 
You would if you had half a mind 
A 
How effortless to stay together 

D             A      E      
If we had no memory whatsoever 
E          B            F#   
We would stay right here forever 
C                 D 
You just stay forever 
C                  D                 
You just stay forever
