[Verse 1]
Em             Cadd9        G 
When your name rolls off my tongue
Em         Cadd9   G
I start to lose control
Em           Cadd9           G
The sweetest sound I've ever heard
Em           Cadd9       G
The sweetest song that I know

[Instrumental]
(see hammer-ons below)
Em Cadd9 G (x2)

    Em                     Cadd9          G
E|---------------3--33333--------3--3-----3-3--33333

E|-----------0---0--00000--------0--0-----3-3--33333


Em    Cadd9        G
I get lost in your whispers
Em     Cadd9           G
As you crawl across my bed
Em        Cadd9       G
In all my twenty-five Decembers
Em       Cadd9              G
More I love you's ain't been said

[Chorus]
           D                  
I'm like a preacher when he prays
          Cadd9                G
I'm on my knees and leave your name
         D                              G
But it's painted blue right on my front door
          D                        
I've been broke down and I've been fooled
            Cadd9           G
By time and age and some by you
          D                             G
So I just lay here with a bottle on the floor
            D              G
So when the pain starts to creep in
       Em                Cadd9   Am
I just pour another shot again
   Em              Cadd9    G
So I don't have to miss you anymore

[Instrumental]
Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G

[Verse 2]
Em         Cadd9         G
While this poison just seeps in
Em    Cadd9         G
My mind just runs in place
Em        Cadd9         G
I've been hanging by a clothes pin
Em                Cadd9         G
Time stands still on my clock's face

[Chorus]
           D                  
I'm like a preacher when he prays
          Cadd9                G
I'm on my knees and leave your name
         D                              G
But it's painted blue right on my front door
          D                        
I've been broke down and I've been fooled
            Cadd9           G
By time and age and some by you
          D                             G
So I just lay here with a bottle on the floor
            D              G
So when the pain starts to creep in
       Em                Cadd9   Am
I just pour another shot again
   Em              Cadd9    G
So I don't have to miss you anymore

[Bridge]
       C           D            G
Yea my voice, it's had too many cigarettes
C      D            G
   And too much alcohol
        C           D           G
I'll be damned if I don't leave all this mess
          C    D            G
I'll get away, if I have to crawl

[Instrumental] (x2)

[Verse 3]
Em               Cadd9        G
You're still the dream that I remember
Em             Cadd9       G
You still have God on your side
Em             Cadd9        G
Our love is still a burning ember
Em                    Cadd9         G
Too bad you traded my love for your pride

[Chorus]
           D                  
I'm like a preacher when he prays
          Cadd9                G
I'm on my knees and leave your name
         D                              G
But it's painted blue right on my front door
          D                        
I've been broke down and I've been fooled
            Cadd9           G
By time and age and some by you
          D                             G
So I just lay here with a bottle on the floor
            D              G
So when the pain starts to creep in
       Em                Cadd9   Am
I just pour another shot again
   Em              Cadd9    G
So I don't have to miss you anymore
