Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
G
She carved a pear with a knife
Am
She didn’t point the blade away
A5
I didn’t wanna patronize
D
She cut herself anyway
G
She sang “Amazing Grace”
Am
She didn’t know all the words
A5 A5/G
She said, “I hope you never die
D/F#
So I don’t have to learn that verse
Cm6 C/G
Ever the diplomat
Cm6 C/G D/A
I said, “Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, now”

[Chorus]
C/G Cm6
Temporary as the night
G/B Em7 A7 Am7
And leaving like a slow kettle whine, I knew
G D/F# Em
I can’t count on much aright
G D/F# C/G G
Can I count, count on you?

[Verse 2]
Gsus
She put the news on TV
Am
But she turned the volume down

She said, “I think I ought to see
D
But I can’t stand the sound”
Cm6 C/G
Almost an afterthought
Cm6 C/G D/A
I just held her as we watched

[Chorus]
C/G Cm6
Temporary as the night
G/B Em7 A7 Am7
And leaving like a slow kettle whine, I knew
G D/F# Em
I can’t count on much aright
G D/F# C/G G
Can I count, count on you?
C/G Cm6
Temporary as the night
G/B Em7 A7 Am7
And leaving like a slow kettle whine, I knew
G D/F# Em
I can’t count on much aright
G D/F# C/G
Can I count, count on you?

[Outro]
C/G G
