Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Well I once knew a girl

 Who hid her problems deep inside herself

Like little Russian dolls

 And when I go to work she pulled them out

 Gave them names and sewed them little clothes

 When I throw little pebbles

 At her window from the alley below

When I get home

 She tucked them all away

Pretend that everything was okay, okay, okay, ohhh

 Oh because I

 I can't say her loss

 'Cause she can't lose

 Can't lose what she don't want

 Oh I wish I wish

 I had someone here to blame, blame, blame

 Oh I wish I wish

 That she wanted me the same

 The same as I want her

 The same as I want her

 Oh I just wish she wanted me the way I want her

Well I learned early on

 In an old western cowboy song

You can't choose your love

 But you damn right know that you can take a chance

If your a gambling man

 So we either put your lonely heart to rest

Chase the moon and shoot down the stars

 Because it is true that nothing good will stay

 That everything will be ok, ok, ok, ohhhh

 Oh because I

 I can't say her loss

 'Cause she can't lose

 Can't lose what she don't want

 Oh I wish I wish

 I had someone here to blame, blame, blame

 Oh I wish I wish

 That she wanted me the same

 The same as I want her

 The same as I want her

 She taught me once

In a two week chase

 It’s not about your final resting

 You're rushing to this giant race

 It is more about the trip you have take

 The things to see

The friends to make

 The love to share

Their hearts to break

 The roads to pave

Old castles to shake

 Cause Life is what happens while you are marking all dates
