Am          F
You can't lie to yourself
       C               G
After loving something true
          Am            F
And I've never loved a soul
           C                G
Quite the way that I loved you
     Am            F
You told me you despise
       C                G
Everything that I've become
        Am           F
How we always turn into
      C                   G
Everything we're running from


Am  F  C  G


       Am                F
And I miss the way you followed
         C                G
When I jaywalked in the street
         Am                  F
How you always talked more trash
         C                G
Than any boy bad mouthin' me
        Am                 F
And the way that the oak creaked
          C                G
When you snuck up from my bed
    Am                 F
The way that missing someone
               C             G
Will have you seeing steady red


[Chorus]
         F
Take it slow as you leave me
          G
Don't you go home this evening
        Am
With someone
                           C
That you're acting like is me
            F
And I will try my hardest darling
 G
Wait on a star that's falling
    Am                    C
And I will wait so patiently
 Am               G
One thing I have quickly
         C
come to know
Am                 G
Nothing kills you slower than
 C
Letting someone go


[Refrain]
Am  F  C  G  x2


            F
So take it slow as you leave me
          G
Don't you go home this evening
        Am
With someone
                           C
That you're acting like is me
            F
And I will try my hardest darling
 G
Wait on a star that's falling
    Am                    C
And I will wait so desperately
 Am               G
One thing I have quickly
         C
come to know
Am                 G
Nothing kills you slower than
 C
Letting someone go


[Refrain]
Am  F  C  G  x2


[Verse]
          Am          F
You can't lie to yourself
       C               G
After loving something true
          Am            F
And I've never loved a soul
           C                G
Quite the way that I loved you
     Am            F
You told me you despise
       C                G
Everything that I've become
        Am           F
How we always turn into

All the things we're running from


[Chorus]
         F
Take it slow as you leave me
          G
Don't you go home this evening
        Am
With someone
                           C
That you're acting like is me
            F
And I will try my hardest darling
 G
Wait on a star that's falling
    Am                    C
And I will wait so desperately
 Am               G
One thing I have quickly
         C
come to know
Am                 G
Nothing kills you slower than
 C
Letting someone go
