     C       Am
You turn to me
                        G
I say "What's there to talk about?"
      C                  Am              G
Over fifteen years we've talked about it all
      C           Am              G
I've learned to be as alone as together means
             C
Because we bring me down
        Am              G
And I drive you up the wall

Chorus:
                   F           Dm
If you've got the mind to leave
                      C         Em
Then pick a topic to talk about
                F          Dm
God knows I'€ve time to give
                             C         Em
You've got the backbone to stick around

Eternity
I don't quit when the bets are down
I'm a careful man, but I'd lose it all for you
A word to me
Is enough iron to keep the peace
I can ruin a day, and I know I do, I do

Chorus

If you’ve got the mind to leave
(Worse or something better)
Then pick a topic to talk about
(Health or heavy weather)
God knows I’ve time to give
(Take your car at midnight)
You've got the backbone to stick around
(Loopholes in the headlights)

A foolish dream
Sell the house but still keep the home
You know kids grow up
And they’ll pin the blame on you

I know the theme
Luck has never been into me
I'm a catch to pain
And you dress the scars for proof

Chorus

If you've got the mind to leave
(Worse or something better)
Then pick a topic to talk about
(Health or heavy weather)
God knows I've time to give
(Take your car at midnight)
You've got the backbone to stick around
(Loopholes in the headlights)

Gm        D
Worse or something better
Dm         C
Health or heavy weather
D#         A#m
Take your car at midnight
Cm7        F
Loopholes catching light

A#m     F            Fm
Angels head to toeing
     Fm   D#
Bad blood overflowing
D#m           C#
Dawn in your sister's kitchen
  D#m       G#
She never trusted him

C#m              G#
You'll get your weekday evening
G#m           F#
Handshakes, close to freezing
Am             C#m
Bad cop pinned to your heart
F#m         B
Grace is a dying art

Em                          B
Nobody cares if you've got time to give
     Bm                         A
No, nobody cares if you've got time to give
Am                             Bm      Em
Oh, nobody cares if you've got time to give
             Am                        D      G
It's just an endless hole that you're falling in
