I was actually about to draft a chord for "Weathered" by The Hotel Year when I saw that I had this half
completed from months ago. I had some trouble back then trying to figure it out, but Matthew Florio's tab
helped a bunch with the chord progressions. I also want to give credit to PLyrics.com for the lyrics. This
seems spot on. I hope you all like it!

When you took...
[Verse 1]
D Em C
When you took that ring off, balled it in your fist
C D Em C C
Eyes like a smoking gun, surprised at what you did
D Em C C
So don't even think for one second you're following me in
D Em C C
My parents are home, so is my kid
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Bm C
Just go on. That house that you hate
C Em D C C
That house that we bought and failed to make
[Verse 2]
D Em C
When you took that ring off, I sat there stunned
C D Em C C
Parked out in my car, surprised at what you'd done
D Em C C
The courage that must have took left me utterly speechless
D Em C C
And though it came as no surprise I still couldn't believe it
[Pre-Chorus]

[Verse 3]

When you took that ring off, threw it at your feet
C D Em C C
You didn't say a word, much less look at me

The courage that must have took I just couldn't believe it
