Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
You ask if it's anger
Em 
But that left long ago,
C 
G 
and my view now is crystal clear
But I cannot change what you did not do,
Em 
and I   cannot pledge my love
C 
G 
And even this request is just all about you
Am 
And I am not the one
to tame your blues
C 
When all you are seeing is embers
Em 
I can't but leave you,
D 
C 
G 
I can't but leave you here
I tell you what, try to keep my eye in
Em 
Tell me that the love has left,
C 
and smile
G 
When you think of all you've lost
For the sake of an anguish
Em 
A   brush of a mistake
C 
G 
by this most human of souls
Am 
I wonder whose praises
we'll sing next
C 
Sharing the stage with the embers
Em 
I can't but leave you,
D 
C 
G 
Bm 
C 
G 
Em 
Bm 
I can't but leave you here
G 
If it's the drama that you're after
Em 
I could split your lip,
C 
G 
I could bite down so heart?
Or would the devils just
Em 
keep their peace?
C 
G 
But that's the type of love we've had
Am 
And these are not the easy days
C 
When all you are seeking is pampers
Em 
I can't but leave you
D 
I can't but leave you
C 
G 
Yeah
Bm 
C 
G 
Oh
Em 
Bm 
Oh you
