Em  Cadd9  G

            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
[Estrofe]
                 Em 
And we've been fighting for so long,
 
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
[Refrão]
           Em 
Till the leaving leaves this house 
     Cadd9 
Nah we ain't going out 
        G 
Till I make some promises I can't
 keep 
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  
Get me so damn down sometimes I can't speak  
 Em                          Cadd9
Try to understand why I can't be a
 
 better man 
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 
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
Leave knowing that no one could love you more than me
[Estrofe]
      Em                           
And I hope the world don't mind all
     Cadd9 
 the simple things I ask 
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 
Like a porch with good lighting and to hear my lady laugh 
     Em                         
And I'll act indifferent because I
 Cadd9 
 don't wanna leave 
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  
Cause leaving's for a younger man that I don't wanna be
