Back

Callous Tab

by Beth Amsel


I'm sorry the placement of the chords are a little off in the tab. I couldn't get 
them to line up exactly right.

Capo: 5


I should have been careless, I should have been callous

underneath the street lamp's sodium glare

I should have been thorough, I should have pushed you back your stubborn heart

and left you once and forever there

but I kissed you
			       
I smiled as I said goodbye
			
and I meant what I said
						       
this is a rough road you wed 



I'm sitting here in Dallas, in a dive in Texas

with an ache like a forearm for the spoon

I am peeling back the labels, I'm spinning empty bottles on the bar

lonely litters the room

and I miss you
					       	
even more than you warned I would
		         
this is a bitch of a test
						       
this is my white flag at best 


(no guitar on album – Em)
step up, be brave, lay down you guard
give in an inch, give up your heart
						       		
just imagine how it'll feel if I let you take me home
					
just imagine waking up sorry and alone
			       
with my head upon your chest
				
with my hand across my mouth
								       		
there are things in life I swore that I could live and do without
							       	
but I swear that was before you found me 



I couldn't be careless, I couldn't be callous

on the night of our fourth of July

I couldn't be thorough, I couldn't push you back your stubborn heart

underneath the roman candle light

now I miss you 
						       	
even more though I swore I never could
		      
this is a bitch of a test
			 
this is my white flag at best
					       	
of all the pretty places that I've been
			  
honey none compare to you
			  			       	
I am sorry through and through   oooh aaah   
				         
Ooh aah aaah aah aah 
					    	                   	
Oooh oh ooh  and if you'll have me I am coming home to you.
