intro
G D Am Em Am Bm C (2x)
verse1
G D Am Em
Been waiting to find
Am D
you could've been happier given the time
G D Am Em
If he'd make up his mind
Am Bm C
You'd give yourself to anybody who would cross that line
chorus
C D Em
And it was never a question
Am Bm C
He was crowing for repair
C D
You'd give him love and affection
Em D C
But you couldn't keep him there
verse2
G D AmEm
Get over regrets
Am D
While you were sleeping with the angels he was under the bed
G D Am Em
And the more skin that you shed
Am Bm
The more that the air in your throat will linger
C
when you call him your friend
chorus
C D Em
And it was never a question
Am Bm C
He was crowing for repair
C D
You'd give him love and affection
Em D C
But you couldn't keep him there
bridge
Em F
Staring at a cold little hand
C D
Reading fault lines in a shell of a man
Em F
You were waiting for a word from above
C
Wouldn't you know it
C
No answer ever did come
chorus2
C D Em
And it was never a question
Am Bm C
You were crowing for repair
C D
You'd give him love and affection
Em D C
But you couldn't keep him there
