I'll Take My Sorrow Straight
Iris Dement
They Way I Should Be
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key F
We [F]both know the reason[C] why you've ca[F]lled
so stop wasting time trying to soften up my [Am]fall
I kno[F]w you wanna swe[C]eten up the[F] taste
but if you don't mind, I'll just take m[C]y sorrow [F]straight
You almost make it seem like something nice
the way you take your bad news and you pour it over ice
That's a kindness I don't appreciate
'cause I like to take my sorrow straight
I wouldn't say that I'm stronger than the rest
but no matter what you say it ain't gonna hurt me any less
'cause in the end, there is really no escape
so I go on and I just take my sorrow straight
I wouldn't say that I'm stronger than the rest
but no matter what you say it ain't gonna hurt me any less
'cause in the end, there is really no escape
so I go on and I just take my sorrow straight
