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 you’d 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 weren’t for diamond rings?

Now I know you’re leaving me

And I know that I’m 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 I’m choking after you

Miss, I’m choking now, do you?

Go ahead now, tell them all about it

(Solo plays here, strum chorus in the background)

Verse

So what good would fingers be

If it weren’t for diamond rings?

Now I know you’re leaving me

And I know that I’m no king
