[Intro] E  E  A2  A2
        E  E  A2  A2

        E  E  C#m7  A2  A2

[First Part]

E                              
  My honey’s heart is blue and a 
         A2
second offbeat

E                                 
   Always tugging at me like he’s 
                A2
running out of daylight

E
  Yeah, my baby acts cool but they 
all know
          A2
Something ain’t right, ain’t right
E                               
  Only acting this cool when he’s 
   C#m7           A2
walking with me
   E               A2
1998 Forever and a day
                    A2
I keep the pictures hanging where 
the world can see ‘em
E
I hope I die today
                     A2            
Save me from another late night of 
        A2
red eyes
E                          A2
But then the morning comes
         A2                        
You were there looking for me but I
   E

                       C#m7     
I was gone, turned my back for a 
          A2
moment and
               A2
You had fallen apart

[Second Part]

E
   They’ve been promising the lights
 as we beg for our lives
A2                           A2
    Selling pages of the times we’ve
 been waiting on
E
  Now the weight’s too much
                            A2
And I can’t hold you anymore
E
  How much of a cruel year can you 
call my fault?
A2
   Not even the memories are 
immortal
E                           
  Terrified on this side of a 
     C#m7
conversation
A2
    A conversation we’ll never come 
back from
E                                 
  I’ll never live it down if I 
          A2
never get around it
                A2
Cause goddammit, I did it to myself 
in hindsight
E
  I liked him cause his rule was do 
whatever
Continues after the ad
                    A2
You like and I tried alright

Now I’ll wear these scars for life
E                                 
   I loved you when it hurt inside
  A2
 to
           E
But in the low light
E                C#m7        A2
You know I’d do anything for you

[Chorus]

E                      A2
  You know I’d do anything for you
E                                 
  You know it’s true cause I’ve 
          A2
said it to you
E                          A2
  Held in my arms, I swore I’d be 
good to you
E                                 
  Then sat and watched as you 
C#m7            A2
walked away from me

[Third Part]

E
Yeah, you’ve changed
               A2
But did I ever know you?

Or did I hold you
                 C#m7
Facing away from me
                B4
The air in your room never moves
A2              B4           C#m7
Live and die by TV no one’s watching
B4      A2
  Do you hate me?
B4               C#m7 B4
When this is over
                       A2
Maybe then we’ll get some sleep
E                               
I’ve been picking names for our 
A2
children
You’ve been wondering how you’re 
      C#m7
gonna feed them
B4                               A2
Love is not enough in this world
    B4        C#m7     B4    
But I still believe in Nebraska 
        A2    B4
dreaming
                C#m7 B4
Cause I’d rather die
                        A2
Than be anything but your girl

( E )

[Fourth Part]

E
I never meant to hurt you
                      A2
But somehow, I knew I would
Will it be like this forever? 
                              E
(forever?) forever? (forever?)
E
I’d reach into your body
                 A2
And fix you if I could
Will I feel like this forever? 
                             C#m7
(forever?) forever (forever?)
        B4
Are you angry?
       A2      B4
Do you hate me?
         C#m7         B4
Darling, time may forgive me
      A2
But I won’t

( E )

[Chorus]

E                  A2           E
You know I'd do anything for you
You know it's true, 'cause I've said
      A2     C#m7
 it to you
           B4              A2     
Held in my arms, I swore I'd be 
        B4
good to you
                              C#m7
(Be good to you, be good to you...)
             B4
Then sat and watched
                       A2
As you walked away from me (from 
me...)
     E                       A2
So I bled til I cried, til I felt I 
might die
      E
To be known the way you should
                           A2
Is to put yourself through hell
        C#m7        B4         
Still I waited and tried, til it 
      A2
killed me
             B4
Cause you’re right
                C#m7
I can wait if I want
                   B4
But it’ll never be good enough like 
I
                  A2            
Want to believe it is (it is, it 
 E     A2
is...)
