         C
I could sit here on this fake-ass throne
                            F
Licking every single bone I own
                C
But that won’t get me nowhere near the truth
‘Cause the only thing I wanna be is next to you,
    F
my love
           C
You’re a shotgun shot in the dark,
you’re the property mark
                                         F
The flash of a spark, the gold-yellow chrome
                          C
Well, my daddy told me, “son, always tell the truth”

‘Cause the only thing
                               F
I wanna be is next to you, my love

Chorus:
                  F          G
I said where you go, I will follow
          Am          F
Where you go, I will follow
               C
I will follow you
                         F
Where you go, I’m going too
               C
I will follow you
                         F
Where you go, I’m going too

Well, last month hurt, and I hold it dear
But I swear to God, it’s gonna be our year
I could tell you all the shit I did in my past
But, baby girl, it’s nothing you’re gonna wanna hear
So I release this anger built inside
And now I won’t go wide anymore
Well, my daddy told me, “son, always tell the truth”
Well, the only thing
I wanna be is good for you, my love

Chorus:
I said where you go, I will follow
Where you go, I will follow
I will follow you
Where you go, I’m going too
I will follow you
Where you go, I’m going too

          F
Well, the almost-were’s
        Am
And the could’ve-been’s
            C                                   F
They ain’t welcome, no, they don’t live around here
           F
But like two set red islands
        Am
And we stare through the silence
           C                                F
You ain’t welcome if you don’t live around here
                Am                               F
Said you ain’t welcome if you don’t live around here

Well, the almost-were’s
And the could’ve-been’s
They ain’t welcome, no, they don’t live around here

But like two separate islands
And we stare through the silence
You ain’t welcome if you don’t live around here
Said you ain’t welcome if you don’t live around here

Well, cross my heart, I know it’s true
You be loyal to me, so I‘ll be loyal to you
And with every Hell we might walk through
With this, I pledge my soul to you

Chorus:
I said where you go, I will follow
Where you go, I will follow
I will follow you
Where you go, I’m going too
I said I will follow you
‘Cause where you go, I’m going too
I will follow you
