Pre-Chorus 1

But don't take your life, 'cause it's all that you've got
You'd be better off just up and leaving if you don't think they will stop

Verse 2

G – D – Em – C –
Looking through the paper today, looking for a specific page

Because when I left her alone, she made a sound, like a moan
"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"
G – Bm – C – D – x4
Fuck buying flowers for graves, I'd rather buy you a one-way non-stop
To anywhere, find anyone, do anything, forget and start again, love
She said she won't go, it hurts too much
G – D – Em – C – x4
... To stand by, you've got to stop and draw a line
Everyone here has to choose a side tonight, the moment of truth is haunting you
Don't forget your family regardless what you choose to do
You can't decide, and they're all screaming "why won't you?"
I'll start the engine but I can't take this ride for you
I'll draw your bath, I'll load your gun, I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt

And she said, "If everyone has someone else then I ain't got nobody's love to save me" yeah, to save me
And she said "I think I'll pass away tonight it seems I'll never get it right if it's just me" yeah, it's just me
And she said

Annie said she wouldn't mind if they never find a cure to all her problems, her problems
And she said, as long as she had someone near to make it clear she doesn't need to solve them, yeah, to solve them

Ending

G – D – Em – C – x4
And even if it was so, oh I wouldn't let you go
You could run run run run but I would follow close
Someday you will say "that's it, that's all"
But I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
I know that you think that you're on your own
But know that I'm here and I'll lead you home
If you let me, she said "forget me"...
D – G –
... But I can't
