Verse 1:
 Am
If you leave me now

It's not that I can't take it
      G
It's just that somehow

I think you'd break it
   F
So much beyond repair

Like pulling out my hair
    E
And poisoning the roots
  E7
A gun that never shoots again
      Am
And if you leave me now
              Dm
And take him deep within your throne
               G
Like you did when you were coming home
            C
And you did again in Mexico
     B
And again before you go
    E
And I believed your lies


Chorus:
    Am
So turn and walk away

I've overspoken
    Dm
Said all that I can say
                 G
I know that I can kneel

And I could cry
          C
I could show you how I died
         B
But what good would it do?
        E
Give the world another fool


Verse 2:
     Am
So if you're gonna stay

Don't just say it
  G
Stay and really stay
            F
I don't want any more goodbyes

Any more disguise
  E
No more tossing coins

Or him between your loins
     Am
And if you're gonna stay
               Dm
I'll place you high upon a hill
               G
And with my hands

I'll build a tower in your name
         C
And you will do the same
 B
Won't you my love?
 Bb
Won't you my love?
  E7
Won't you my love?


Chorus:
    Am
Or turn and walk away

I've overspoken
    Dm
Said all that I can say
                 G
I know that I can kneel and kiss your feet

Walk ahead and clear the street
    C
So you don't have to meet
   B
But what good would it do
  E7
Give the world another fool


Chorus:
    Am
So turn and walk away

I've overspoken
     Dm
Now what more can I say?
         G
I know that I can kneel and I can cry

Hell I know
            C
That I can show you how I died
     B
Now what good would it do
        Bb
Give the world another fool
   E
Just sitting on this stool
  N.C.
I'm close to giving up on you


Outro:

Am     Dm      G     C     E7
Am     Dm      G     C     E7
Am     Dm      G     C     E7

N.C.
Just sitting on this stool

I'm close
                                          Am
I've said I'm close to giving up on you
