Mason Jennings - The Villain

beautiful , simple song .
he strums the low G every other strum on the C chords and the low E on every other Am strum
C/G
all the people that i once knew
Am
that built cities in my mind

on the mountains and rivers
G
that i’ve left behind

C
and there lives the villain
Am
who sets me free

i’m waiting for you love
G
to come for me

C
and i hope i never see you again
Am Em
you’ve ruined my heart
C
i hope i never see you again
Am G
you’ve ruined my heart

C
at least you don’t write me
Am
at least you don’t call

at least you don’t lend me
G
any hope at all

C
at least you don’t miss me
Am
or at least you don’t give
at least you seem distant
G
wherever you live

C
and i hope i never see you again
Am Em
you’ve ruined my heart
C
i hope i never see you again
Am G
you’ve ruined my heart

F
ruined my heart

C G F
and of all the ways that it could be
G C
i wish you’d fallen in love with me

C
well i work in the morning
Am
i work at the same

fixin’ these melodies
G
to fit your name

C
some years i will travel
Am
some years i will not

maybe life will unravel
G
and leave me a second shot

C
and i hope i never see you again
Am Em
you’ve ruined my heart
C
i hope i never see you again
Am G
you’ve ruined my heart

F
ruined my heart

C G F
and of all the ways that it could be
G C
i wish you’d fallen in love with me

Am F G C
i wish you’d fallen in love with me
