C
Keep both eyes on the road tonight
             G
'Cause I'm driving home to you
   E
A terrible song on the radio
          F
Baby what else is new?

You don't want to talk
You don't want to touch
You don't even wanna watch TV
You say I can't see the forest for the trees
So burn it all down
And bring the ashes to me

Keep both eyes on the road tonight
'Cause God knows where I've been
Officer please, don't check my breath
That ain't my only sin

You don't want to talk
You don't want to touch
You don't even wanna watch TV
If you can't see the forest for the trees
Just burn it all down
And bring the ashes to me

Chorus:
C
Keep you waiting, hour after hour
Every night, in your lonely tower
G
Looking down at all of the wreckage
                                    Am
When we met, you'd never expect this
                     G/B
And you said, maybe we don't deserve love
C
Maybe we don't deserve love
Maybe we don't deserve love
G
We don't deserve
                  Am
We don't deserve love
      G/B                C
Maybe we don't deserve love

Keep both eyes on the road tonight
'Cause I'm driving home to you
A terrible song on the radio
Baby, what else is new?
Been hiding my scars in broad daylight bars
Behind laugh tracks on TV
If you can't see the forest for the trees
Just burn it all down
And bring the ashes to me

Chorus:
Keep you waiting, hour after hour
Every night, in your lonely tower
Looking down at all the wreckage
When we met you'd never expect this
And you say
Maybe we don't deserve love
Keep you waiting, hour after hour
Every night, in your lonely tower
Looking down at all the wreckage
When we met you'd never expect this
And you say
Maybe we don't deserve love
Maybe we don't deserve love
Maybe we don't deserve love
We don't deserve
We don't deserve love

G/B                   C
Mary, roll away the stone
The men that you love
Always leave you alone
G
Well go on Mary
                 Am
Roll away the stone
                         G/B
The men you love always leave you alone
C
You hear your mother screaming
You hear your daddy shouting
G
You try to figure it out
                        Am
You never figured it out
Your mother's screaming
      F                  C
That you don't deserve love
If you don't deserve love
And if I don't deserve love
G
Could we deserve?
                        Am
Come down off your cross
And tell me!
                  G/B
It's always the Christ-types
 C
Mary, roll away the stone
    G
The one that you love
                             Am
Always gonna leave you alone
                   G/B
Particularly the Christ-types
 C
Mary, roll away the stone
G
The one you love
                   Am
Always leave you alone
                  G/B
It's always the Christ-types
C
You're waiting on
