but his is a bit harder to get.) The video shows the chords Josh plays, so if you really
to play it that way, its pretty much the same chord, but just a different variation (I

Verse 1
[Am]You're just a stones throw from [C]me
But throwing stones could never [G]be
The perfect way to sta[D]rt
Verse 2
[Am]Cos sticks and stones make broken bo[C]nes
Empty words make broken h[G]omes
But its love that broke our h[D]earts
Chorus 1

Verse 3
[Am]You're just a photo in a d[C]rawer
But photographs are not much m[G]ore
Than ghosts we can't f[D]orget
Verse 4
[Am]You're just a red rag to a b[C]ull
You're just a false hope for [G]a fool
But it's as close as I can g[D]et
Chorus 2

[Am]I would st[C]op this boat from [G]sinkin[D]g

Setting w[D]hen my evening [Am]comes
I just d[C]on't know what you're [G]thinking

[Am]And if I knew what you were [G]thinki[D]ng
[Am]I would stop this boat from [G]sinkin[D]g
