Capo this on the second fret.
[intro]
(2x)
[verse1]
Been waiting to find
you could've been happier given the time
If he'd make up his mind
You'd give yourself to anybody who would cross that line
[chorus]
And it was never a question
He was crowing for repair
You'd give him love and affection
But you couldn't keep him there
[verse2]
Get over regrets
While you were sleeping with the angels he was under the bed
And the more skin that you shed
The more that the air in your throat will linger
when you call him your friend
[chorus]
And it was never a question
He was crowing for repair
You'd give him love and affection
But you couldn't keep him there
[bridge]
Staring at a cold little hand
Reading fault lines in a shell of a man
You were waiting for a word from above
Wouldn't you know it
No answer ever did come
[chorus2]
And it was never a question
You were crowing for repair
You'd give him love and affection
But you couldn't keep him there
(End-of-Chorus Riff: -------------------------------|
