Half A Mind

(início)

E
Sometimes I wish, we had a short term memory
B               E              A
Just enough to recognize each other's face
E                                B
It would be the same old stories but you're
B                              A
Hanging onto every single word I have to say
D        A                  E
To the world I'm not that clever
B                           F#
But you would stay with me forever
C                            D
I'd keep your friends from reminding
D
Reminding you to
E                          B
Save yourself, leave me behind
B                     E      A
You would if you had half a mind
E
I'd tell you every day's your birthday
     B                      A
And every gift I bring could be the same
A      E                                      B
Or how I stood beside you at a shotgun wedding
B                                 A
And the child we both would love but never came
D               A            E
Hearing stories that were never
B                      F#
You would stay with me forever
C                    D
But I'd forget to make money
                E
You'd forget to
E                           B
Save yourself, leave me behind
                          E
You would if you had half a mind
A
How vulnerable you are
E
Rob this house and leave me blind
B                     A
You would if you had half a mind
A
How effortless to stay together
D         A                E
For these ties you may have severed
B              F#
I'll just stay right here forever
C                               D
And so you write on your forehead
D                       C
Or better yet you engrave
C                          D
So when you look in the mirror
D
Well, you don't forget to
E                           B
Save yourself, leave me behind
B
You would if you had half a mind
A
How vulnerable you are
E                           B
Rob this house and leave me blind
B                              A
You would if you had half a mind
A
How effortless to stay together
D             A      E
If we had no memory whatsoever
E          B            F#
We would stay right here forever
C                 D
You just stay forever
C                  D
You just stay forever
