[Intro]
Em  Cadd9  G
[Estrofa]
            Em 
It takes a hell of a heart 
                Cadd9 
To know what a heart really needs 
         G 
and I'm finding out love 
  
Ain't what love's cut out to be 
   Em 
If I was not my mama's boy 
           Cadd9 
Leave you crying in this car 
         G 
punch a hole in your damn dashboard 
  
and forget the girl you are  
Em Cadd9 G
[Estrofa]
                 Em 
And we've been fighting for so long, 
           Cadd9 
It'd be s shame to let this go 
         G 
But i'd rather let it lie than 
  
Hurt a sweet girl I know  
          Em 
And it's gettin dark now 
        C 
So won't you just staay 
          G 
And I'll tell you that I love you 
  
Till the leaving goes away  
Em Cadd9 G
[Estribillo]
           Em 
Till the leaving leaves this house 
     Cadd9 
Nah we ain't going out 
        G 
Till I make some promises I can't keep 
      Em 
And I wish I could explain 
         Cadd9 
How the toxins in my brain 
       G 
Get me so damn down sometimes I can't speak  
 Em                          Cadd9 
Try to understand why I can't be a better man 
          G 
But it's hard when I'm yellin at you in the street 
        Em 
But if leaving comes to stay 
        Cadd9 
and you walk yourself away 
        G 
Leave knowing that no one could love you more than me
[Estrofa]
      Em                                Cadd9 
And I hope the world don't mind all the simple things I ask 
        G 
Like a porch with good lighting and to hear my lady laugh 
     Em                          Cadd9 
And I'll act indifferent because I don't wanna leave 
        G 
Cause leaving's for a younger man that I don't wanna be  
Em Cadd9 G
[Estribillo]
           Em 
Till the leaving leaves this house 
     Cadd9 
Nah we ain't going out 
        G 
Till I make some promises I can't keep 
      Em 
And I wish I could explain 
         Cadd9 
How the toxins in my brain 
       G 
Get me so damn down sometimes I can't speak  
 Em*                          Cadd9* 
Try to understand why I can't be a better man 
          G* 
But it's hard when I'm yellin at you in the street 
        Em* 
But if leaving comes to stay 
        Cadd9* 
and you walk yourself away 
        G* 
Leave knowing that no one could love you more than me
