Am Slow is the memory Dm And I can picture her standin' right in front of me Said that I'm behaving badly Am And kind of driving her crazy But I know she wants me I remember everything Her sweat, it tastes like sugar cane And sitting on top of me, yelling out my fucking name Until I'm empty But I know she wants me Chorus: C Am C Am But I have already tried to explain myself It's not that I love someone else But I can't bear to listen to you cry, yeah Sick of all these wasted years Drowned in someone else’s tears E Am You let me down, now I'm hanging you out to dry And I'll see you when I get back Maybe we can get ourselves back on the right track You touch me there because you know how much I like that I think that we both need to relax, you know you want me All the time and everywhere A happy surface, but the underbelly isn't there And the worst thing is that I don't even really care And the emptiness is too much to bear Chorus Dm 'Cause sometimes I don't know what to do Em I'm scared to stand right in front of you F The way our pain subsides G Can't bear the stare of your teary eyes I know you feel like it's hard to stay In fact, you may just wanna run away Now all that I can really say is baby, oh Deep down you know, yeah Chorus: I have, have already tried to explain myself It's not that I love someone else But I can't bear to listen to you cry Sick of all these wasted years Drowned in someone else’s tears You let me down, now I'm hanging you out to dry Already tried to explain myself It's not that I love someone else But I can't bear to listen to you cry Sick of all these wasted years I’m drowned in someone else’s tears You let me down, now I'm hanging you out to dry You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  Dm  E  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
