[Verse 1] Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 I let go of everything I ever had Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 'Cause I couldn't give the love you deserved Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 By The Gunner, you shouted, "Oh, my God" Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 It seemed churlish, but it's what I was owed, I suppose Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 Every flagstone of this town bears our prints Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 And all the bars round here serve my ghosts and carcasses Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 I wish I knew these things when I was young Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 'Cause now I've just gone so numb
[Chorus] Badd11 C#m7 Aadd9 Badd11 We take whatever we can to get the reason back C#m7 Aadd9 So please don't rein me in Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 (Ooh) Don't rein me in Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 (Ooh) Please don't rein me in Badd11 C#m7 I'm working myself up to a nice, warm bliss (Ooh) F#m7 Aadd9 All my memories of you ring like tinnitus Badd11 If I stop, it's just pain (Ooh) C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 Please don't rein me in
[Verse 2] Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 I wish I could tell you everything Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 But my stomach was too weak Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 Sometimes it's easier to throw away your love Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 Instead of accepting its defeat
[Chorus] Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 (Ooh) Don't rein me in Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 (Ooh) Please don't rein me in Badd11 C#m7 And I'm working myself up to a nice, warm bliss (Ooh) F#m7 Aadd9 All my memories of you ring like tinnitus Badd11 If I stop, it's just pain (Ooh) C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 Please don't rein me in
[Bridge] Badd11 And I'm, C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 I'm stood here chewing everybody's lugs off (Ooh) Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 (Ooh) Telling everybody how much I fucked it up Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 (Ooh) Telling everybody how much I fucked it up Badd11 C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 Badd11 C#m7 (Ooh) Telling everybody but you, how much I fucked it up F#m7 Aadd9 Badd11 Slow down C#m7 F#m7 Aadd9 Slow down
