[Intro]
Am F C G
(2x)

[Verse 1]
Am F
You can’t lie to yourself
C G
After loving something true
Am F
And I’ve never loved a soul
C G
Quite the way that I loved you
Am F
You told me you despise
C G
Everything that I’ve become
Am F
How we always turn into
C G
Everything we’re running from

Am F C G

Am F
And I miss the way you followed
C G
When I jaywalked in the street
Am F
How you always talked more trash
C G
Than any boy bad mouthin’ me
Am F
And the way that the oak creaked
C G
When you snuck up from my bed
Am F
The way that missing someone
C G
Will have you seeing steady red

[Chorus]
F
Take it slow as you leave me
G
Don’t you go home this evening
Am
With someone
C
That you’re acting like is me
F
And I will try my hardest darling
G
Wait on a star that’s falling
Am C
And I will wait so patiently
Am G
One thing I have quick
C
Come to know
Am G
Nothing kills you slower than
C
Letting someone go

[Refrain]
Am F C G
(2x)

F
So take it slow as you leave me
G
Don’t you go home this evening
Am
With someone
C
That you’re acting like is me
F
And I will try my hardest darling
G
Wait on a star that’s falling
Am C
And I will wait so desperately
Am G
One thing I have quick
C
Come to know
Am G
Nothing kills you slower than
C
Letting someone go

[Refrain]
Am F C G
