I really like this song so I thought I'd submit the tab for it. This is a VERY VERY
simple outline of the song. Tony Lucca does a lot of embellishments with the chords but if
you just want to learn the song to sing and play along, this is a good version. When I
play it, I stick mostly to this and just add little fillers along the way. But this will get
you started ;) If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post em or send me a
message. Cheers!

Verse 1:
Black night sky before you said goodbye
Your rose colored sache and your cigarette ash
You left with your girlfriends before I made amends
14 days of pouring rain
Drips through the cracks around your window pain
Filled up the holes wearing layers of your clothes
On the tags you wrote my name
Pre-Chorus:
Why cant you make up your mind, this time?
Chorus:
I've been reading all the letters that you wrote me
All the fairy tales you sold me,
And all the pretty things you said
Can't stop thinking about the way that you control me
Now you wish you'd never known me
Oh how I wish you'd come and hold me, hold me, hold me
(Intro chords)
Verse 2:
I was staying at your house. You've been sleeping at his
You're acting like momma to both his kids
Got a two car garage, backyard that don't end and you're my only friend
When the sun goes down this old house gets dark,
It's hard to paint a portrait of my broke heart,
I pick this up and the room fell right back apart
And now I don't know where to start
Pre-chorus:
Now that you've made up your mind this time...
Chorus:
I've been reading all the letters that you wrote me
All the fairy tales you sold me,
And all the pretty things you said
Can't stop thinking about the way that you control me
Now you wish you'd never known me
Oh how I wish you'd come and hold me, hold me, hold me
Bridge:
There is no beginning.
Do you think that you're winning?
You've made up your mind
Why don't you make up the mind?
Last chorus:
I've been reading all the letters that you wrote me
All the fairy tales you sold me
And all about the pretty things you said
Can't stop thinking 'bout the way that you control me
And you wish you'd never known me
I've been sleeping in the place that you left me
Do you regret me?
Did you forget me?
Can't stop thinking 'bout the way that you control me
How you wish you'd never known me
How I wish you'd come and hold me, hold me, hold me
