Verse 1
I'm so tired (G major) of hearing tales
(C major) of coming news (G major)
Telling (E minor) tales of a changing (C major) sky (G major)
It's just a shame I did
(C major) n't notice you (G major)
Till (E minor) someone I loved (C major) had to die (G major)
What made us think that
this (C major) was so differ (G major) ent
(E minor) Who is driving be (C major) hind
those things you say (G major)
Why do you insult (C major) me and my (G major) friends
(E minor) Who are my friends (C major) anyway (G major)
I've spent my life ly (C major) ing
now I (G major) pay the price
Are these (E minor) really words of a young (C major)
man or a worthless human life (G major)
I don't mean to scare you
(C major) with the things I say (G major)
I take it back, (E minor) yes it's a beautiful (C major) day (G major)
I watched you from the beach (C major)
when your ship sailed (G major)
You made (E minor) it clear that noth (C major)
ing stays the same (G major)
It's getting darker I wonder (C major) if you can tell (G major)
I wonder (E minor) when all (C major) that (G major) changed

Verse 2
You never (G major) used to let (C major) me go un- (G major) (E minor) - -
I was so distracted (C major) I never saw (G major) the rain
You promised you meant every (C major) word you said (G major)
I wonder (E minor) when all (C major) that (G major) changed
It hurts so bad to hear (C major) such pretty (G major) words
(E minor) coming from some (C major) body like you (G major)
I've been looking for so long (C major)
that I've lost (G major) touch
With what's (E minor) the best
something (C major) to do (G major)
I've got a friend who makes (C major)
good choices (G major)
(E minor) Everybody likes the way (C major) that
he sees (G major) things
I've got a problem and it
(C major) walks me daily (G major)
Can't you see (E minor) no
one is proud (C major) of me (G major)
It's a long road alone (C major) and
I'm not proving (G major)
(E minor) Anything (C major) going by my (G major) self
When your love life is all (C major)

gold and dia (G major) monds
(E minor) Both went sour be (C major) fore they got to me (G major)
I'll be waiting girl but don't (C major)
be counting hours (G major)
I'm not waiting (E minor) for (C major) any other three (G major)
I was just a peasant (C major) from the highlands (G major)
She said (E minor) don't you call
me (C major) your mountain girl (G major)
I said don't bother me (C major) I'm trying to write (G major)
and don't worry (E minor) you ain't (C major) my mountain girl (G major)
I can call you but I'd prob (C major)
ably make you cry (G major)
These days (E minor) it's what you
of (C major) ten times do (G major)
Call the preacher then (C major) go call your father (G major)
Tell (E minor) them that the wed
(C major) ding plans have moved (G major)
I send a message saying (C major)
I'll be gone forever (G major)
The (E minor) letter of reply (C major) never came (G major)
She said that she'd be true (C major)
but I wouldn't let (G major) her
I wonder (E minor) when all (C major) that (G major) changed

If at the bot (E minor) tom it said I miss (C major) you bad (G major)
See but the truth of the matter is (C major) that
back home no one really (G major) misses me
See (E minor) how I talk (C major) when I'm sad (G major)
Since I was young I've known (C major)
