Verses
Em G6
was I left behind?
C6 B6
Someone tell me, tell me I survived.
Em G6 C6 B6
Don't look so surprised that I'm home, but just for tonight.
Em G6
With rough hands and sore eyes
C6 B6
so don't speak, I am tired.
Em G6 C6 B6
Let's just live through this lie.
Pre Chorus (Intro pt 2 played underneath this, as lead)
Em G6
She says i swear too much,
C6 B6
she says a lot of things,
Em G6 C6
well I'd swear every other word if I could
B6
for her I'll make an attempt.
Em G6 C6 B6
Sometimes love isn't about how much someone suits you
Em G6 C6 B6
but how much you're willing to change to suit them.
(break between the pre chorus and chorus, just strum B6
Chorus
Em G6 C6
All my bones are dust,
B6
(Two people too damaged too much too late)
Em G6 C6
and my heart's sealed with rust.
B6
(Two people too damaged too much too late)
Em G6
These hands will always be rough.
C6 B6
(Two people too damaged too much too late)
Em G6 C6
I know this won't count for much.
B6
(Two people too damaged too much too late)
Was I left behind?
Someone tell me, tell me I survived
And don't look so surprised
that I'm home, but just for tonight
With rough hands and sore eyes
So don't speak, I am tired
Let's just live through this lie
She says I swear too much
She says a lot of things
Well I'd swear every other word if I could
For her, I'll make an attempt
Sometimes love isn't about
how much someone suits you
But how much you're willing to change
to suit them
All my bones are dust
(two people too damaged too much too late)
And my heart sealed with rust
(two people too damaged too much too late)
These hands will always be rough
(two people too damaged too much too late)
I know this won't count for much
(two people too damaged too much too late)
One day my hands were too soft
One day she said, "I'm tired"
One day her clothes were on my floor
One day, empty bottles
I'm not saying she's my last
I'm just saying that she could have been
It doesn't matter how rough these hands get
It doesn't matter 'cause I'm not her man
Rough hands, rough days
Rough hands, rough nights
Rough hands, rough season
Rough hands, rough fights...
All my bones are dust (Rough hands, rough days)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
And my heart sealed with rust (Rough hands, rough season)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
These hands will always be rough (Rough hands, rough days)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
I know this won't count for much (Rough hands, rough season)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
