Sticks And Stones Tab

by Dave Barnes


So as a person who just picked up the guitar and knows some basic chords (G D Em C) I 
you can play like any song with them. These chords seemed to work for me so I hope they 
for you!

Capo 3


Verse 1:
                                               
You would have kept those words on your tongue,
                                          
If you had known the hurt they had done.
                                               
While your fists stay by, right by your side,
                                     
Your words they bruise me deep inside.

Chorus:
                                          
I'd rather have sticks and stones and broken bones
                        
than the words you say to me,
                                     
Cause I know bruises heal and cuts will seal
                               
but your words beat the life from me.

Verse 2:
Sometimes your words are thick as lead,
You swing them strong upside my head.
But what hasn't killed has made me strong,
So i'll take my scars and move along.

*Chorus*

Bridge:
                             
Goodbye is the best way that I know,
                              
To forgive and still be letting go.

*Chorus*
