Introduction:
G C
So you fell in love and it wasn't with me
G C
Hey that's fine, it's about time I let go
G C
But whatever curse you put here in me
G C
Well can you lift it babe before I hit the road?
A C G
You were a charmer, I was a heartbreak junky
A C G
You were a diamond, I was the heap of fool's gold
A C G
You were the jet plane, I was the parachute failing
A C G
i was the cheap ad when you were the centerfold
G C Cm
Then my sun set hard on carolina
G C Cm
Where she howled about the pender county line
G C Cm
And her six-string fingers ran the length of some boy's body
G C Cm
in younger dreams I though that body might be mine
A C G
You were a cold crush, I was a heartbreak junky
A C G
Now you're a mother and i'm a flashback son
A C G
Yeah i'm a wasteland, you've got all your milk and honey
A C G
And back then I swore you were the only one
D
So disenchant me baby, i've been dying to know how to give up, get out, stay gone
C
Make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before, she was so sweet baby so sweet
D
Maybe I can reconcile what I ripped in two
C
That haphazard, half-hearted love I was making with you
Cm
Yeah, I made it with you
G C
But now the bars are closed and the city sleeps tight
G C
As I ramble home my wretched merry way
G C
Where down was up and feeling bad felt so right.
G C
I thought that vertigo was here to stay
A C G
We're talking hellfire, but at the time, it seemed funny
A C G
When all the demons left the woodwork to play
A C G
With an angel and a heartbreak junky
A C G
Stuck in their rock bottom masquerade
D
So disconnect me baby, i've been dying to know how to give up, get out, stay gone
C
Make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before, she was so sweet baby, so sweet
D
Maybe I can reconcile what I ripped in two
C
That haphazard, half-hearted love I was making with you
Cm
Yeah, I made it with you
C G F
So when eden burns behind you in the rearview
C G F
And you're off to find a stranger paradise
C
Where you can sing your own way out
G D C
Well, you know that i'll be around
D C Cm
With a sweet-talk woman fading slowly
Cm
On a lovesick mind
