Race Ricketts

Capo 2

Intro G C G C
              G                    C                    D        G
Well, I could ponder all the happy things that made you smile so wide.
           C        D                G                C
Or all the warm and fuzzies that you made me feel inside.
           G            C                 D                   G
Or I could wander these lonely streets at night and call your name.
       C                 D           G                   C
Run my feet and voice to ragged have no one but me to blame
         D                   C                         D
That you went away, that you went away.

Chorus:
        C                                  G
I could sing a million pretty melodies for you
           C                                                  G         D 
Or I could scream the ugly truth until my lips and lungs turn blue.  Ooohooo
        G                                Em                  C
I could sing how I don't need you or how I cain't live without
            G                      D                  C 
But I don't think that you deserve writing a song about...
                  G                D                  C
No, I don't think that you deserve writing a song about.

Verse 2
      G                C          D             G
I get stronger...every day that I get to know myself. 
        C                 D          G                        C  
Not the stranger that you made whose heart you put up on a shelf.
              G                 C                       Am         G 
I hope you're honest...Claiming home inside these lines against my will.
    C             D             G                C   
A prisoner to the pages that I swore you'd never fill.
                D                   C
I won't let you fade, no I never will...

Chorus:
        C                                  G
I could sing a million pretty melodies for you
           C                                                  G         D 
Or I could scream the ugly truth until my lips and lungs turn blue.  Ooohooo
        G                B               Em                  C
I could sing how I don't need you or how I cain't live without
            G                      D                  C 
But I don't think that you deserve writing a song about...
            Em                     D                  C
No, I don't think that you deserve writing a song about.


Bridge
D                              C                        Em
Wasted ink and wasted chords.  Played out lines and metaphors....
D                                C                                                      
Same refrain I've sung before.   You ain't worth the words no more.
                                 D      C  Em
No, you ain't worth the words no more.

Chorus:
             G                                  G
But, I could sing a million pretty melodies for you
           C                                                  G         D 
Or I could scream the ugly truth until my lips and lungs turn blue.  Ooohooo
        G                 B              Em                  C
I could sing how I don't need you or how I cain't live without
            G                      D                  C 
But I don't think that you deserve writing a song about...
            Em                     D                  C
No, I don't think that you deserve writing a song about.
            G              D               Em                C  
No, I don't think, I don't think...I don't think, no I don't think.
        G              D                      C 
I don't think that you deserve writing a song about.
