Capo 4th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse
Oh it takes my life away
To think of her as gone
Now Im running down the maze
And Im finding only war
Blowing down the flame
To catch the burning wind
Now Im running out of steam
Now watch this man collapse
Chorus
You said you wanted a better life
And you will tell me what you find
And then Ill stay the whole night through
And Ill turn from sad to blue
Yes Im choking after you
Yeah Im choking after you
Verse
(same as verse 1)
Wish youd think of me
The way I think of you
Well I find it hard to breathe
Cause now I know the truth
So what good would fingers be
If it werent for diamond rings?
Now I know youre leaving me
And I know that Im no king
Chorus
(same)
And you said you wanted a better life
And you will tell me oh what you find
And then I stay the whole night through
And I turn from sad to blue
Yeah Im choking after you
Miss, Im choking now, do you?
Go ahead now, tell them all about it
