Only Way Out

G                        D
Pull away to you in your best blue 
dress.
Am                            Em 
Silos and rolling hills, your 
               D
eyes in brilliant focus.
G                                 
We learned how our bodies worked, 
D
soft and familiar,
        Am                         
But you couldn't shake the fear of 
          Em D
something so similar.

[Chorus 1]
C                           G
You return to him ‘cos he reminds 
you of your father,
       Em                          
And it helps you sleep at night and
 D
 brings you comfort.
C                            
I can't seem to throw away the 
  G
letters or the pictures
         Em                        
For some kind of truth or proof 
              D
that all of this really happened.
C                      G
If you would've tried, I would've 
tried.
      D
If commitment's what you wanted,
                    C
I would've been the anchor by your 
side.

C                             G
If you would've stayed, well, I 
would've stayed.
        D                          
But the only way to love you now is
    C
 to walk away.

[Verse 2]
G                             
You walked bar to bar, a wicker 
  D
basket held high,
        Am                         
Selling roses to the drunkards, and
   Em               D
 I bought one every time.
G                                 
Stumble up the stairs, hand in 
   D
hand, up to the roof.
Am                             
Love is something that will lead 
           Em                D
you, not something you can choose.

[Chorus 2]
C                               G
So many years have passed since all 
that wine.
         Em                      
You're a mother now and how I bet 
            D
you made a beautiful bride.
C                            
I can't seem to throw away the 
  G
letters or the pictures
         Em                        
For some kind of truth or proof 
              D
that all of this really happened.

C                      G
If you would've tried, I would've 
tried.
      D
If commitment's what you wanted,
                    C
I would've been the anchor by your

C                             G
If you would've stayed, well, I 
would've stayed.
        D                          
But the only way to love you now is
    C
 to walk away.

C
If you would've prayed...
G
O, how I did pray.
        D
But the only way to love something
      C
Is to give it away.
