    Bm
I comb the crowd and pick you out
    G               Em              Bm
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
    G   Em      Bm
"To I swear, I say"
    G   Em      Bm
"To I swear, I say"

            G                       Em
To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"
    Bm                       A
To drinks at the club to the bar
       F#            G
To the keys to your car
          Em                      Bm      A
To hotel stairs to the emergency exit door

Chorus:
        D                          Dmaj7
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
                          Bm
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
 D                           G
"What did it ever do for me" I say
        Bm
(I say, I say, I say)
          D                 G
It never calls me when I'm down
            Bm
Love never wanted me
But I took it anyway
 D                    G
Put your ear to the speaker
                    Bm
And choose love or sympathy
           D
But never both
G           Bm
Love never wanted me

"I hoped you choked and crashed your car"
Hey "tear catcher," that's all that you are
And ever were from the start
I swear, I say
I swear, I say

To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"
To drinks at the club, to the bar, to the keys to your car
To hotel stairs and to the emergency exit door

Chorus:
To the "love," I left my conscience
Pressed between the pages of
The Bible in the drawer, "What did it ever do for me"
I say

It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me, but I took it, anyway
Put your ear to the speaker and choose love or sympathy
But never both, no

         D                          Dmaj7
To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
                                    G
Through the keyhole I watched you dress,
kiss and tell
Gm
(Loose lips sink ships)
         Bm                         E7
To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
                                    G
Through the keyhole I watched you dress,
kiss and tell
Gm
(Loose lips sink ships)

         D                          Dmaj7
To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
                                    G
Through the keyhole I watched you dress,
kiss and tell
Gm
(Loose lips sink ships)

         Bm                         E7
To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
         Bm                         E7
To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
         Bm                         E7
To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
                          G
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me" I say
