When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
                 
MI7+
And curse at the wind
   
SI                        
He broke his own heart and I watched
               
FA#m7/4    
MI7+
As he tried to reassemble it
    
SI
And my momma swore
                         
FA#m7/4    
MI7+
That she would never let herself forget
    
SI               
And that was the day that I promised
                  
FA#m7/4              
MI7+
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
                
MI7+
That love never lasts
    
SI

And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
                   
MI7+
Or keep a straight face
    
SI
And I've always lived like this
          
FA#m7/4     
MI7+
Keeping a comfortable distance
    
SI                             
And up until now I had sworn to myself
            
FA#m7/4         
MI7+
That I'm content with loneliness
                                  
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
