Callous

[G]I should have been careless, I should have been callous
[C]underneath the street lamp's sodium glare
[G]I should have been thorough, I should have pushed you back your stubborn heart
[C]and left you once and forever there
[Em]but I kissed you
[D/F#]I smiled as I said goodbye     [G]
and I meant what I said [Em]
this is a rough road you[C] wed                           [D]

[G]I'm sitting here in Dallas, in a dive in Texas
[C]with an ache like a forearm for the spoon
[G]I am peeling back the labels, I'm spinning empty bottles on the bar
[C]lonely litters the room
[Em]and I miss you
[D/F#]even more than you warned I would               [G]
this is a bitch of a test[Em]
this is my white flag at[C] best                          [D]

(no guitar on album – Em)
step up, be brave, lay down you guard
give in an inch, give up your heart
[Em]just imagine how it'll feel if I let you take me home           [A]
just imagine waking up sorry and alone  [C]
with my head upon your chest   [D]
with my hand across my mouth    [C]
there are things in life I swore[D] that I could live and do without               [C]
but I swear that was bef[D]ore you found me                        [D]

[G]I couldn't be careless, I couldn't be callous
[C]on the night of our fourth of July
[G]I couldn't be thorough, I couldn't push you back your stubborn heart
[C]underneath the roman candle light
[Em]now I miss you
[D/F#]even more though I swore I never could                  [G]
this is a bitch of a t[Em]est
this is my white flag at[C] best
[D/F#]of all the pretty places that I've been         [G]
honey none compare to you [Em]
I am sorry through and thr[C]ough   oooh aaah              [D]
[C]Ooh aah aaah aah aah                     [D]
[A]Oooh oh ooh  and if you'[C]ll have me I am comi[D]ng home to you.        [G]
