G C G
There's been a scar on my hand about as long as I've known you
C Dadd4
From being myself the day after we met
Em G C
If I whittle away the more I learn about you
G Dadd4 C (then hammer on Cmaj7)
It's no less than a bargain for each piece I shed
[Verse 2]
G C G
I don't remember when my heart was broken
C Dadd4
I'm sure that it happened a few times before
Em G C
I've forgotten the ache but I'm glad to have known them
G Dadd4 C
Like I forgot the bandage I wore to your porch
[Refrain]
Dadd4 Cmaj7
I wish I knew what you wanted to say
G Dadd4 Cmaj7
Lady, what lives in your throat?
Em Dadd4 G C (then hammer on Cmaj7)
I wish I knew what you do when I'm on my way
G
What do you do when I go?
[Verse 3]
G C G
A few hours from home by the signs that I'm reading
C Dadd4
I'm careful but hungry like a fox in the snow
Em G C
If you give me a word then I'll keep on believing
G Dadd4 C (then hammer on Cmaj7)
That there's room in a heart when it's already full
[Refrain]
Dadd4 Cmaj7
I wish I knew what you wanted to say
G Dadd4 Cmaj7
Lady, what lives in your throat?
Em Dadd4 G C (then hammer on Cmaj7)
I wish I knew what you do when you're on your way
G C G
What am I gonna do when you go?
