Capo: 5th fret
[Intro]
C Am C Am
[Verse 1]
C
I see a flower dress
Am
Pressed tight against your bones
C
And a handkerchief
Am
Wrapped so pretty around your throat
F C
Somehow, I’m the one that it chokes
G
Ain’t it funny how that goes?
[Verse 2]
Am
And there’s a wedding ring
C
Long been discarded without a stone
Am
Plus it’s circumstance
F
Billy laughing from his throne
Dm Am F
And I’m in a prison cell of the trash I’ve called my home
[Chours]
C
Just let me go
G
Michigan rose
[Verse 3]
C
I see a pathway now
Am
Cracked brick On rotten land
C
Where Strangers wait their turn
Am
To love you better than I can
F C G
I hear You laughing from where I stand, how I wish that I were deaf
[Verse 4]
Am
And there’s a beating heart
C
Keeping time upon your window cell
Am
Above a boulevard
F
Of cigarettes and chewed up fingernails
Dm Am F
And would it be so hard, enough wind to fill my sails
[Chours]
C
Just let me go
G
Michigan rose
[Interlude]
C Am C Am F C G Am G
[Verse 5]
C
The Silence is deafening
Am
The Stories slain without a sound
C
The Graves of Endings you refuse to read
Am
Torn pages thrown upon the ground
F C G
A Jagged trail of what could of been’s of meaningless and nowhere bound
[Verse 6]
Am
And pressed against the dark
C
A strand of silver ribbon glows
Am
A warning spreads from wild hearts
F
To tell me what I’ve always known
Dm Am F
That a broken heart will only be betrayed by hope
[Chours]
C
Just let me go
G
Michigan rose
[Verse 7]
C
I see your flower dress
Am
Pressed tight against your bones
C
And a handkerchief
Am
Wrapped so pretty around your throat
F C G
Somehow, I’m the one that it chokes, ain’t it funny how that goes
[Outro]
