When you took...
Verse 1:
DEmC
When you took that ring off, balled it in your fist
CDEmCC
Eyes like a smoking gun, surprised at what you did
DEmCC
So don't even think for one second you're following me in
DEmCC
My parents are home, so is my kid
Pre-Chorus:
AmBmC
Just go on. That house that you hate
CEmDCC
That house that we bought and failed to make
Verse 2:
DEmC
When you took that ring off, I sat there stunned
CDEmCC
Parked out in my car, surprised at what you'd done
DEmCC
The courage that must have took left me utterly speechless
DEmCC
And though it came as no surprise I still couldn't believe it
Pre-Chorus:
EDCEDC
