CAPO ON FIRST FRET
[Verse]
Em G
It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
C
What the color of her eyes were
G C
and her scars or how she got them
Em G
As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
C G D
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten
[Instrumental]
Em G C G D
[Verse]
Em G
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
C G D
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
Em G
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
C G D
Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear
[Chorus]
C
So tell me now
G D C
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
D
cause' I don't know
Em
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
G C G
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
D Em
That's when I told her I love you girl
G C
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have
G D
Whoa whoa
[Instrumental]
Em G C G D
[Verse]
Em
But the day pressed on like crushing weights
G
For no man does it ever wait
C
Like memories of dying days
G D
That deafen us like hurricanes
Em
Bathed in flames we held the brand
G
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
C
Pressed into the flesh like sand
G D
Now do you understand?
[Chorus]
C
So tell me now
G D C
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
D
cause' I don't know
Em
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
G C G
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
D Em
That's when I told her I love you girl
G C
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have
G D
Whoa whoa
[Instrumental]
Em D
[Verse]
Em G
1000 miles away
C
There's nothing left to say
G D
But so much left that I don't know
Em G
We never had a choice
C
This world is too much noise
G
It takes me under
D Em
It takes me under once again
[Instrumental]
Em D
[Bridge]
Em
I don't hate you
G D
I don't hate you no
[Chorus]
C
So tell me now
G D C
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
G D
cause' I don't know
Em
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
G C G
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
D Em
That's when I told her I love you girl
G C G D
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have
Em G
I don't hate you
C
I don't hate you, no
G D Em
Whoa whoa
