Verse 1:

 G                    C
I know a way to kill the ripple from your touch

And what if I can only settle for much?
  D     Em7
It stays with you

You?re like a sky so drizzly

That I want
D Em7 D G C
 ?Till I take it out on you

Show me how to keep you in

You be good to me

 G                   C

In time although my hair turns grey and grizzly

Chorus:

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
