            Gm
It takes a hell of a heart
                D#
To know what a heart really needs
         A#
and I'm finding out love
Ain't what love's cut out to be
   Gm
If I was not my mama's boy
            D#
Leave you crying in this car
         A#
punch a hole in your damn dashboard
and forget the girl you are

                Gm
And we've been fighting for so long,
           D#
It'd be s shame to let this go
         A#
But i'd rather let it lie than
Hurt a sweet girl I know
Gm
And it's gettin dark now
   D#
So won't you just staay
          A#
And I'll tell you that I love you
Till the leaving goes away

Chorus:
          Gm
Till the leaving leaves this house
     D#
Nah we ain't going out
        A#
Till I make some promises I can't keep
      Gm
And I wish I could explain
         D#
How the toxins in my brain
       A#
Get me so damn down sometimes I can't speak
 Gm                           D#
Try to understand why I can't be a better man
          A#
But it's hard when I'm yellin at you in the street
        Gm
But if leaving comes to stay
        D#
and you walk yourself away
        A#
Leave knowing that no one could love you more than me

I hope the world don't mind all the
Simple things I ask
Like a porch with good lighting and to
Hear my lady laugh
And I''ll act indifferent because I don't
Want to leave
Because leavings for a younger man that
I don't want to be

Chorus
