Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse
I walk by the rivers edge
skipping smooth wet stones
& watching them sink
i never was a fan of innocence
ive got two black eyes
& an empty fifth of gin
Chorus
& i see im wrong for you
but we try
you swear im hard to lay beside
if i was you i'd run from me most nights
maybe i was meant to be left behind
Verse
thunder and circumstances
beyond our control rumble in
counting time by the lines 'round your eyes
as your gentle caress helps me forget
Chorus
& i think its time to say good night
& you swear im hard to lay beside
now years seem to pass as we blink our eyes
maybe i was meant to be left behind
Bridge
by all of our heartfelt lies (X3)
are not enough this time
Chorus
& i say i'd love to spend the night
but you found someone else to lay beside
& i know it makes sense
but its like sand in my eyes
maybe i was meant to be left behind
