G D Am Em Am Bm C (2x)
verse1

Been waiting to find
AmD
you could've been happier given the time
GDAmEm
If he'd make up his mind
AmBmC
You'd give yourself to anybody who would cross that line
chorus
CDEm
And it was never a question
AmBmC
He was crowing for repair
CD
You'd give him love and affection
EmDC
But you couldn't keep him there
verse2
GDAmEm
Get over regrets
AmD
While you were sleeping with the angels he was under the bed
GDAmEm
And the more skin that you shed
AmBm
The more that the air in your throat will linger
C
when you call him your friend
chorus
CDEm
And it was never a question
AmBmC
He was crowing for repair
CD
You'd give him love and affection
EmDC
But you couldn't keep him there
bridge
EmF
Staring at a cold little hand
CD
Reading fault lines in a shell of a man
EmF
You were waiting for a word from above
C
Wouldn't you know it
C
No answer ever did come
chorus2
CDEm
And it was never a question
AmBmC
You were crowing for repair

But you couldn't keep him there
