when i was younger
Gm F
i saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
C
he broke his own heart and
Gm F
i watched as he tried to re-assemble it
C
and my mama swore that she would
Gm F
never let herself forget
C
and that was the day that
Gm
i promised i'd never sing of love
F
if it does not exist, but darling

C

C
maybe i know somewhere deep
Gm F
in my soul that love never lasts
C
and we've got to find other ways
Gm F
to make it alone or keep a straight face
C
and i've always lived like this,
Gm F
keeping a comfortable distance
C
and up until now i had sworn
Gm F
to myself that i'm content with loneliness
because none of it was ever worth the risk
