Key: Bb

Verse 1:

   G       C   G
On my shoulder as we laid awake
    C    G    D  B  Em
And you always loved a smoke by eight
    B      C
'Cause baby don't mind



      G          C     G
Gets never colder than when the daylight breaks
    C    G    D B  Em
Do you now regret the bed we made?
    B      C
Does it cross your mind?
   G       C     G
Well baby, does it cross your mind?

Chorus:

   C   Em   B    C   Em
I did not intend to slow you down, mm
   D     D/A     F    C
Even hoped that we would've spoke by now
   G        D  G
I was acting like an only child

Verse 2:

   G         C   G
What takes forever is a lesson learned
    C     G      D  B   Em
I have nothing to show for the medals I've earned
  B    C
And maybe I mind
    G           C     G
'Cause no one's ever seen me traipsing in
      C      G    D   B  Em
I've been hiding from all the places I've been
   B      C
And sore from trying
   G       C    G
And acting like an only child

Chorus:

   C   Em   B    C   Em
I did not intend to slow you down, mm
   D     D/A       F    C
Even though I'd hoped we'd have spoke by now
G       D  G
Maybe we were only lying

Interlude:

Am Em B C
Am Em B C
G  C G

Verse 3:

C    G           C      G
Heaven's closing, they're still pouring drinks
    C     G  D   B  Em
And of all those crazy ways you think
  B    C
I love you lying
  G            D  B  Em
But I can't reason with the past we face
   D   G    D  B  Em
I'm sorry for the mess we made
      C      G      B   Em
And if you want, we'll pick through my mistakes
    B   C
You'll see me crying
   G
But maybe we could put it all behind

Chorus:

   C   Em    B     C   Em
I did not intend to force your hand, ooo
   D    D/A    F   C
Even though we swore we'd understand
G         B  Em
Maybe we'll be always trying

Outro:

Am  G

     G
We'll be always trying
