Callous Chords

Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

GI should have been careless, I should have been callous

Cunderneath the street lamp's sodium glare

GI should have been thorough, I should have pushed you back your stubborn heart

Cand left you once and forever there

Embut I kissed you

D/F♯I smiled as I said goodbye G

 and I meant what I said Em

 this is a rough road youC wed D

GI'm sitting here in Dallas, in a dive in Texas

Cwith an ache like a forearm for the spoon

GI am peeling back the labels, I'm spinning empty bottles on the bar

Clonely litters the room

Emand I miss you

D/F♯even more than you warned I would G

 this is a bitch of a testEm

(no guitar on album – Em)

 with my hand across my mouth C

 there are things in life I sworeD that I could live and do without C

 but I swear that was befDore you found me D

GI couldn't be careless, I couldn't be callous

Con the night of our fourth of July

GI couldn't be thorough, I couldn't push you back your stubborn heart

Cunderneath the roman candle light

Emnow I miss you

D/F♯even more though I swore I never could G
