D
Going into town with her friends tonight
D
Met you in the back under exit lights
G
Felt so harmless
G
Goddamn charmless
D
I got you a drink of a whisky and coke
D
Forgot my lines every time we spoke
G
I was joking
G
Outside smoking


[Pre-Chorus]
      Bm                 D
And I paid the price for bad advice
G
Now I’m on my knees and singing


[Chorus]
 D
Violet
       G
Now my mind is set
        Bm
Hold my cigarette
       A
'Cause I’m not leaving here without you
     D
I’ve been so dumb
   G
A prodigal son
    Bm
But now I’m done
 A
Won’t be leaving here without you
G          A       D
V-I-oh my God, Violet


[Verse 2]
D
You spill your drink so we share my beer
D
You say "Let’s get out of here"
G
There’s people fighting
G
Hate this lighting
D
Five years on and here we are
D
Same two people in the same damn bar
G
All those chances
G
Olive branches


[Pre-Chorus]
      Bm                 D
And I paid the price for bad advice
G
Now I’m on my knees and singing


[Chorus]
 D
Violet
       G
Now my mind is set
        Bm
Hold my cigarette
       A
'Cause I’m not leaving here without you
     D
I’ve been so dumb
   G
A prodigal son
    Bm
But now I’m done
 A
Won’t be leaving here without you
G          A       D
V-I-oh my God, Violet


[Bridge]
    D            D/C#
Oh, I’ll let you go
       Bm         A
If you give me a reason
       D            D/C#
I have been to your house
         Bm       A
And I’ve been to oblivion
       D         D/C#
Could this be forever
     Bm          A
Or just a new season?
        G                A
There’s no one else like you


[Chorus]
 D
Violet
       G
Now my mind is set
        Bm
Hold my cigarette
       A
'Cause I’m not leaving here without you
     D
I’ve been so dumb
   G
A prodigal son
    Bm
But now I’m done
 A
Won’t be leaving here without you
 D
Violet
       G
Now my mind is set
        Bm
Hold my cigarette
       A
'Cause I’m not leaving here without you
     D
I’ve been so dumb
   G
A prodigal son
    Bm
But now I’m done
 A
Won’t be leaving here without you
