Take my hands, they're all I've got
(maj7)add6
I ain't got no nothing to prove but I forgot
Take my heart I'll wear it out
The friends I make here all come at extra cost
What say we just get lost
The first four chords are jazz voicings. These are not barréd, in case you
were wondering... I've indicated the fingers to use for each of these chords,
which may help. It will still take practice to nail the transitions, though.
But it's worth it...!

Just around the bend and back again
Just another place to leave without a trace

Just another mile down a dead-end drain
When the river turns I'll come down with the rain
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Take...
(maj7)add6 x02112
/ 3x2010
Take my hand and twist my arms

I ain't got it in me to set off bells and alarms
Tell my mother I'm not coming home
Been all for nothing, baby, for all too long
What say we right this wrong?
