(Capo on 3)

(Intro.)
|(C) / / / |(G) / / / |(C) / / / |(G) / / / |

(Verse 1)
(C) I bet you're sitting, sipping single-barrel bourbon on ice
(C) I'm wandering 'round the house, just wondering if you'll miss me tonight (Dm)
(C) But (F)you won't, baby
(C) I'm in the kitchen cooking supper, but I'm cooking for one
(C) Fixed you a plate, yeah, just in case your rambling days are done (Dm)
It's (F)driving me crazy, ecause (Dm)I should be at the (G)end of my rope
But (F)I just can't (C/E) let go (G)

(Chorus)
When you (C) said forever, I took (Dm) it to heart
You wove (F) all your words like a true (G) work of art
You tried (C) to unravel, and I (Dm) tried to patch
I think (F) I could fix us if you'd (G) just come back
And make (Am) something beauti-(G)ful out (F) of the (C/E) little that's left (Dm)
'Cause I'm still (F) hanging on by a thread

(Instrumental)
|(C) / (G) / |(F) / (G) / |(C) / (G) / |(F) / (G) / |

(Verse 2)
(C) I saw your mama, and she told me that you asked about me
(C) Hate to admit it, but it's all I've thought about for weeks (G)
So (Dm)here I sit right (G)by this phone
'Cause you (F) never said how long (C) you'd be gone (G)

(Chorus)
When (C)you said forever, I took (Dm) it to heart
You wove (F) all your words like a true work of art (G)
You tried (C) to unravel, and I (Dm) tried to patch
I think (F) I could fix us if you'd (G) just come back
And make (Am) something (G)beautiful out (F) of the (C/E)little that's left (Dm)
'Cause I'm still (F) hanging on by a thread (C)

(Bridge)
Every thread, (Dm) every kiss, (F) every touch, every word (G) that you said (C)

(Instrumental)
|(Dm) / / / |(F) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / /

(Chorus)
When (C)you said forever, I took (Dm) it to heart
You wove (F) all your words like a true work of art (G)
You tried (C) to unravel, and I (Dm) tried to patch
I think (F) I could fix us if you'd (G) just come back
And make (Am) something (G)beautiful out (F) of the little (C/E) that's left (Dm)
'Cause I'm still (F) hanging on (G) by a thread (C) / / / (Dm) / (F)

(Outro.)
Oh, (G) I'm still hanging on by a thread
(Am) / (G) / (F) / (C) / (Dm) hmm, mm (F) - - - - -
