[Intro] F6  C  C7M

F6                      F
We were in a race to grow up
       C                      
Yesterday, through today, till 
  C7M
tomorrow
 F6                    F
But when the plant blew up
              C                    
A piece of shrapnel flew and slowed
            C7M
 that part of you
 F6                             F
The doctors gave you until the end 
of the night
  C
But not till daylight (not till 
daylight)
  C7M            G
Not till daylight (not till 
daylight)

 F6                      F
Time passes slower in the flicker of
 the hospital light
C                            C7M
I pray the race is worth the fight

 F6             F
Made a fool of myself
 F
Down on Tennessee Street
          C
It wasn't pretty like the movies
      C7M                          
It was ugly, like what they all did
     F6
 to me
 F                                 
And they did to me what I wouldn't 
     C
do to anyone
                    C7M
You know that's for sure

  F
Tell me all the time not to worry

                       C           
And think of all the time I'll, 
     C7M
I'll have with you
                           F
When I won't wake up on my own (wake
 up on my own)
F
Wake up on my own
 F                                 
Held close all the time, knowing 
     C
I'm half of you

( F6  F  C  C7M  G )

 F
Lay me down where the trees bend low
 C                     C7M
Put me down where the greenery 
stings
 F
I can hear them singing (singing)
                     C
To love me is to suffer me
              G
And I believe it

F                              
When I lay with you in that auld 
         C
lang room
                   G               
Wishin' I was the way you say that

You'll go fight a war, I'll go 
  C
missing
                 G                 
I warned you, for me, it's not that
   F
 hard

  F                            
That picture on the wall you're 
                            C
scared of looks just like you
                  G                
I wanna bleed, I wanna hurt the way
     F
 that boys do
F                              
Maybe you're right and we should 
                   C
stop watching the news
                     G
'Cause, baby, I've never seen brown 
eyes look so blue

Tell me all the time (tell me all 
the time) not to worry (not to 
worry)
                     C

Suffering the while to lie a time

 C                       G    
Gardenias on the tile, where it 
                                F
makes no difference who held back 
from who


To love me is to suffer me
