Capo 2
G
Well I once knew a girl
Em
Who hid her problems deep inside herself
Like little Russian dolls
G
And when I go to work she pulled them out
Em
Gave them names and sewed them little clothes
D
When I throw little pebbles
Em C
At her window from the alley below
When I get home
D
She tucked them all away
Em C
Pretend that everything was okay, okay, okay, ohhh
D
Oh because I
Em C
I can't say her loss
D
'Cause she can't lose
Em C
Can't lose what she don't want
D
Oh I wish I wish
Em C
I had someone here to blame, blame, blame
D
Oh I wish I wish
Em C
That she wanted me the same
G
The same as I want her
Em
The same as I want her
C D G
Oh I just wish she wanted me the way I want her

G
Well I learned early on
Em
In an old western cowboy song
G
You can't choose your love
Em
But you damn right know that you can take a chance
If your a gambling man
D
So we either put your lonely heart to rest
Em C
Chase the moon and shoot down the stars
D
Because it is true that nothing good will stay
Em C
That everything will be ok, ok, ok, ohhhh
D
Oh because I
Em C
I can't say her loss
D
'Cause she can't lose
Em C
Can't lose what she don't want
D
Oh I wish I wish
Em C
I had someone here to blame, blame, blame
D
Oh I wish I wish
Em C
That she wanted me the same
Em
The same as I want her
C
The same as I want her
G - D
Em
She taught me once
In a two week chase
C
It’s not about your final resting
G
You're rushing to this giant race
D
It is more about the trip you have take
Em
The things to see
The friends to make
C
The love to share
Their hearts to break
G
The roads to pave
Old castles to shake
D
Cause Life is what happens while you are marking all dates
