[E]
No matter how [G#m] strong
[E] I'm gonna [C#] take you down [F#m] with one little stone
I'm gonna [G#] break you down [C#m] and see what you're worth
[A#] What you're really [F#] worth [A] to me
[B]
[E] Dinner at eight was [C#] okay before the [F#m] toast full of beers
It [G#] was great until [C#m] those old magazines [A#]
got [F#] us started up [A]
again
[F#]
Actually, [A#] it [G#m] was [C#m] probably [F#m] me [B] again
Why [E] is it so
That [C#] I've always been [F#m] the one who must go
That I've [G#] always been [C#m] the one told to flee
When in fact you were the [A] one long [A#]
ago
[A]
Actually, [A#]
in the [B]
[G#m] drifting [C#m] [F#m] white snow
Who [B]
left [E] me
So [A] put up your fist
[C#m] [A] Then I'll put up mine
I'm [G] running away from [E] the scene of the crime
[A] God's chosen a place [F#m] somewhere [B] near [E] the
[B]
[E] end of our lives
But till [C#] then, no daddy, [F#m] don't be surprised
[G#] If I wanna see [C#m] the tears in your [A#] eyes
Then I [F#] know it had [A] to be long [A#]
ago
[A]
Actually, [A#]
in the [B] [G#m] drifting [C#m] [F#m] white snow
You [B]
left
[E]
me
No matter how strong
I'm gonna [C#] take you down [F#m] with one [A] little stone
[D#] I'm gonna [G#] break you down [C#m] and see what [E] you're [A#] worth
What you're [F#] really worth to [B] me
