[Intro]
D  Dmaj7  G    D  Dmaj7  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
D       Dmaj7 D
Love in memory
D
Was a plague that consumed me
                     G
Shifted all my priorities
           Dmaj7  D
Things I'd die to keep
D
Swept through all that I hoped to reap
                           G
God, I loved how it ruined me
 
 
[Interlude]
D  Dmaj7  G    D  F#m  G
 
 
[Verse 2]
D      Dmaj7    D
I have kept the hurt buried deep into winter dirt
                                G
I watch at night when the mound stirs
     D          Dmaj7 D
This is not the burn I've known
D
It's an ache in my every bone
                  G
Maybe you want to be alone
      Gmaj7
Maybe I
 
 
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
My head is aching
       D           A
But if I keep very still
  G          Gmaj7
I might be able
   D                E
To make this work until
    G
The end of the weekend
Gmaj7
Weak, but I'll pretend
D
That you still want me
A                E    G
I'm the one you adore
                         D    Dmaj7  G
But I'm just shy of sure
G
(I'm just shy of sure)
 
 
[Verse 3]
D       Dmaj7     D
When do things suffice?
D
Can you be happy all your life?
                           G
Do you think it can happen twice?
D     Dmaj7    D
Maybe that's a swing
G                          A
Hey, you can't win without entering
                     G
Are you cool to lose everything?
          Gmaj7
Roll the dice
 
 
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
My head is aching
       D           A
But if I keep very still
  G          Gmaj7
I might be able
   D                E
To make this work until
    G
The end of the weekend
Gmaj7
Weak, but I'll pretend
D
That you still want me
A                E    G
I'm the one you adore
                    D
But I'm just shy of sure
 
 
[Interlude]
D      A  D  G
 
 
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
My head is aching
       D           A
But if I keep very still
  G          Gmaj7
I might be able
   D                E
To make this work until
    G
The end of the weekend
Gmaj7
Weak, but I'll pretend
D
That you still want me
A                E    G
I'm the one you adore
                         D    Dmaj7  G
But I'm just shy of sure
                 D    Dmaj7  G
(I'm just shy of sure)
 
 
[Outro]
D  Dmaj7  G    D  Dmaj7  G
D
              Love in memory
Was a plague that consumed me
Shifted all my priorities
Things I'd die to keep
Swept through all that I hoped to reap
God, I loved how it ruined me

I have kept the hurt buried deep into winter dirt
I watch at night when the mound stirs
This is not the burn I've known
It's an ache in my every bone
Maybe you want to be alone
Maybe I

Oh, My head is aching
But if I keep very still
I might be able
To make this work until
The end of the weekend
Weak, but I'll pretend
That you still want me
I'm the one you adore
But I'm just shy of sure

When do things suffice?
Can you be happy all your life?
Do you think it can happen twice?
Maybe that's a swing
Hey, you can't win without entering
Are you cool to lose everything?
Roll the dice

My head is aching
But if I keep very still
I might be able
To make this work until
The end of the weekend
Weak, but I'll pretend
That you still want me
I'm the one you adore
But I'm just shy of sure

Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh, My head is aching
But if I keep very still
I might be able
To make this work until
The end of the weekend
Weak, but I'll pretend
That you still want me
I'm the one you adore
But I'm just shy of sure
