My girl she's a good one,
C G
she's always on my mind,
Em
she is a rose and I am a stone,
C
she's always poking her head out
D G
and striking a pose,
G Em
I'm always plucking her petals,
C G
and some nights we fall out of love,
Em
some nights I sleep in her arms,
C G
some nights I sleep on the couch.
G Em
Well I spent that night in our past life,
C G
wringing out the years from our shoes,
Em
in the distance yo lived with my signature
C D G
penned on a treaty that kept our armies at rest,
G Em
but I was a pushy little one,
C G
when you tried to find someone new,
Em
I just kind of waited around for you,
C G
because what else was I suppose to do?
C G D Em
I know where your heartache exists,
C G D Em
it's when you are alone and when you're around me.
Em C D
I saw it in your face the day we parked your car
G Em
on the shoulder by the reservoir,
C D
and in my mouth my words did hide
G Em
for fear of being recognized.
