Verse 1:

I [G]know a way to kill the ripple from your [C]touch
And [G]what if I can only settle for [C]much'
It [D]stays with [Em7]you
You'r[D]e like [G]a sky s[C]o drizzly

That I want
[D] [Em7]'T[D]il[G]l [C]I take it out on you
[Bm7]Show me h[Bm]ow to [C]keep you in


Chorus:

[G]You be good to me
And I, [D]I'll b[C]e good to you
Don't let go of you[D]r light
It's you[Bm]r best friend in the world
I [C]hope you'll learn wha[A7]t Heaven knows
Who [C]cares if I go'

[G]
Verse 2:

I [G]know a way to tell the middle from the [C]start
And [G]what if telling makes the brittle fall a[C]part'
In [D]time al[Em7]though my [D]hair turns [G]grey and [C]grizzly
Stay [D]with me


Chorus:

[G]So we cursed a lot
And I'm[D] ashamed o[C]f walking out
Oh it's just to[D]o bad, we go[Bm]t stuck in the past
We'r[C]e hiding there i[A7]n silence now
It [C]sounds familiar
[G]You be good to me
And I, [D]I'll b[C]e good to you
I'm off t[D]o work
[Bm]But I don't see yo[C]u turn
