verse 1: 

  G                                       C 
I know a way to kill the ripple from your touch 
    G                             C 
And what if I can only settle for much? 
   D          Em7 
It stays with you 
       D      G      C 
You're like a sky so drizzly 

That I want 
D Em7 D G C        
  'Till I take it out on you 
Bm7      Bm    C 
Show me how to keep you in 



Chorus: 

G 
You be good to me 
       D       C 
And I, I'll be good to you 
                     D 
Don't let go of your light 
          Bm 
It's your best friend in the world 
  C                      A7 
I hope you'll learn what Heaven knows 
    C 
Who cares if I go? 

G 

verse 2: 

  G                                      C 
I know a way to tell the middle from the start 
    G                                       C 
And what if telling makes the brittle fall apart? 
   D      Em7       D          G        C 
In time although my hair turns grey and grizzly 
     D 
Stay with me 


G So we cursed a lot D C And I'm ashamed of walking out D Bm Oh it's just too bad, we got stuck in the past C A7 We're hiding there in silence now C It sounds familiar G You be good to me D C And I, I'll be good to you D I'm off to work Bm C But I don't see you turn
