Catchin' Strays

[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
      C
I’ll love you ‘til I die
                            Em
Swear to God that’s still true
 
And I wanna paint your sky
                                   Am
But I’m running out of shades of blue
F        N.C.             C
Mmmm and out of daylight, too
 
When did I become someone you hate
                                 Em
And when the hell’d it get this bad
                                                             Am
‘Cause you keep on taking aim like there’s a bullseye on my back
                     F                  Am
I wish there was a white flag we could wave
                    F       N.C.
I wish there was a way to clean the slate
 
[Chorus]
C
 But your words are just like bullets
                      F
And I’m on the other side
 
Of this trigger when you pull it
        Am      G      C
And it kills me every time
 
I don’t wanna say goodbye
                     F
I don’t wanna walk away
 
But I’m losing all my fight
                             C
And I’m tired of catchin’ strays
 
[Verse 2]
C
 Been taking ‘em on my chin
                            Em
It’s been taking a toll on me
 
Yeah girl, I’m wearing thin
               F        Em      Am
Just like the heart out on my sleeve
         F
I hate this is how it’s gotta be
 
[Chorus]
C
 But your words are just like bullets
                      F
And I’m on the other side
 
Of this trigger when you pull it
        Am      G      C
And it kills me every time
 
I don’t wanna say goodbye
                     F
I don’t wanna walk away
 
But I’m losing all my fight
         Am       G          C
And I’m tired of catchin’ strays
                               F     Am G
Yeah, I’m tired of catchin’ strays
 
[Bridge]
Am             C      F        C         Em
 I wish there was a white flag we could wave
A7        C          N.C.
 I wish there was a way to clean the slate
 
[Chorus]
C
 But your words are just like bullets
                      F
And I’m on the other side
 
Of this trigger when you pull it
        Am      G      C
And it kills me every time
 
I don’t wanna say goodbye
         Dm    C     F
I don’t wanna walk away
 
But I’m losing all my fight
         Am       G          C
And I’m tired of catchin’ strays
 
[Outro]
F
 Yeah, I’m losing all my fight
         N.C.                C
And I’m tired of catchin’ strays
