E|----------------------|
Scratched  out a note I wrote  for you
to  wake and read
 to know that I  was there once
I  knew that there was nothing that I  could write to assure  you
of  my return
But  all the paper said when I  was done is
‘do  you still want  me?’
because  I’d be terrified if I had to leave  this place today
 We haven’t saved  the baby
As  I said
 my darling
spring  is constantly calling me
 and there’s no place  that I’d rather be
 I won’t  be angry
 if you  have to leave,
 but I won’t  be waiting
for  that day
 So don’t say  you’re sorry  because
I  won’t believe
I  won't believe  you
 x2
Didn’t  see a sticker on the door  when we walked in
 but I know it’s going  to cost us
the  same amount of love it takes  to get you through
 but it never  moves you
I’d  be terrified if I had to leave  this place today
 It’s where I threw  my love away
Then  we saw a different side of “Annie”  nobody saw
 She tried to kill  the baby
 and the earth  and its skin will open up
 and birth  out a perfect mirror
 that makes all  our reflections clear
 I won’t  be angry
 if you  have to leave,
 but I won’t  be waiting
for  that day
 So don’t say  you’re sorry  because
I  won’t believe
I  won't believe you

[Em]Scratched out a note I [G]wrote for you

[C]to wake and read

to know that I[Aadd9] was there once

[Em]I knew that there was nothing that [G]I could write to [C]assure you

[Aadd9]of my return

[Em]But all the paper said when [G]I was done is

[C]‘do you still [Aadd9]want me?’

[Em]because I’d be terrified if I had to [G]leave this place [C]today

We haven’t [Aadd9]saved the baby

[D]As I said

my darling

[Cadd9]spring is constantly calling [D]me

and there’s no [Cadd9]place that I’d rather [E]be  [Em]

I [G]won’t be ang[Cadd9]ry

if [D]you have to [Em]leave,

but I [G]won’t be wai[Cadd9]ting

[D]for that day[Em]

So don’t [G]say you’re sor[Cadd9]ry because

[D]I won’t bel[Em]ieve

[G]I won't be[D]lieve y[D]ou

[Em]the same amount of love it [G]takes to get you [C]through

but it [Aadd9]never moves you

[Em]I’d be terrified if I had to [G]leave this place tod[C]ay

It’s where I [Aadd9]threw my love away

[Em]Then we saw a different side of [G]“Annie” nobody [C]saw

She tried to [Aadd9]kill the baby

and the [D]earth and its skin will open up

and [Cadd9]birth out a perfect mirror[D]

that makes [Cadd9]all our reflections [E]clear  [Em]

I [G]won’t be an[Cadd9]gry

if [D]you have to [Em]leave,

but I [G]won’t be wai[Cmadd9]ting

[D]for that day [Em]

So don’t [G]say you’re so[Cadd9]rry because

[D]I won’t bel[Em]ieve

[G]I won't [D]believe [D]you

[Em] [G] [C] [Aadd9]
