[E]
[Em] [A] [G] [C]
[E] Like the memory from [A] your mother's [G] house [C] from before you got too [Em] old.
Like the feeling from a [A] photograph [Em] before [C] its meanings all got [Em] told.
The [D] words I say can be [Am] silver but [G] what's left unsaid can be [Am] gold.
So [D] get to know me once [Am] I go [Em] away.
[E] Maybe [Em]
cause I [A] come [Em] from such [C] an empty hearted [Em] town.
Or maybe cause some [A] love of mine [C] had really let me [Em] down.
But [D] the only time I [A] am lonely [Em] is [G] when others are [Am] around.
I just never end up knowing what to [Em] say.
If [C] I wanted someone to clean me up [G] I'd find myself a maid.
If [D] I wanted someone to spend my money [Am] I wouldn't need to get paid.
[C] If I wanted someone to understand me [G] I'd have so much more to say.
I [D] want you to make [G] the days [C] move easy.
I [E]
[A] [Em] [Am]
[Em] [E] took everything [A] I thought [Em] from what [C] it means to be a [Em] man.
We [E] need words to [Em] be put to work we [C] do not [Em] understand.
While you [D] lean into the [A] echoes [G] and you do not raise a [Am] hand.
Oh [D] woman help me [Am] see it like [Em] it is.
If I [C] wanted someone to clean me up [G] I'd find myself a maid.
If I [D] wanted someone to spend my money I [Am] wouldn't need to get paid.
[Bm] [C] If I wanted someone to understand [G] me I'd have so much more to say.
I [D] want you to make [G] the days [C] move easy.

Oh if I wanted someone to clean me [D] up [G] I'd find myself a maid.
[D] If I wanted someone to [G] spend my money I [Am] wouldn't need to get paid.
[C] If I wanted someone to cut me down [G] I'd have handed you the blade.
