[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
It was kind of surreal coming back and doing the show.
It feels like the first time in a lot of ways because of the new [Ebm] venue. _
Don't have the familiar surroundings.
_ But I knew what I was walking into because [C] _ last time I was here, Nick took us to see this place.
It looked like it had been bombed.
[B] Dirt [Bb] floor and everything.
It was horrible.
_ I remember thinking, _ okay, have fun with that.
_ But I'm also a guy that loves renovating [Gm] homes and I can see past all that stuff.
I totally got it and I was really excited for him.
I could tell how excited he was. _
It really feels good to see it all come to fruition.
_ [G]
It feels super homey.
Like I had said earlier, I felt like I was back in my home church singing for our little
congregation back in Loretta.
_ That's a good feeling.
_ _ The acoustics are great.
_ _ When you sing, everything comes back to you.
That's always _ great for a singer to be able to feel _ [Em] comfortable and feel like they really
[C] have a good sense of what their pitch actually is instead [G] of completely relying on a little
wedge [D] in front of you.
_ That was good.
[Em] The ones who _ [C] deserve it should _
[G] be _ _ saved.
So they [Am] _ [Ab] won't be. _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [B] _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [B] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [Bb] _ [Abm] _
Someone's gonna hold your hand.
_ Everything will click.
_ _ [E]
Touch you in some unknown way [Abm] that finally does the trick.
_ [Gb] _ [Abm]
Pull you in a fairy tale where you were meant to be.
_ _ _ [E]
Someone, _ _ [Eb] someone [Abm] won't be [Ebm] mean.
_ _ [B] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Abm] _
Someone's out there praying for the day that you walk in and _ happy [E] ever after _ _ [Abm] _
finally begin.
_ _ [Gb] _ [Abm]
Someone who'll stop at nothing to give you all you need.
_ [E]
Someone, _ [Abm] _ someone won't be mean.
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ That's okay.
_ [B] _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _
I never [Bm] [Dbm] really loved you [Abm] anyway.
_ [E] _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _
At least not _ _ unconditionally. _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Like _ subjects [Gb] love their wives [Abm] and future [Ebm] queens.
If _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ [B] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Abm]
I thought I was good for you. _
If I thought this could work. _ _
[E] Reach a little higher [Abm] and pull you back to _ earth.
[Bbm] But [Ab] the [Abm] man you're really looking for, the one in all your dreams.
[E] _
[Abm] Someone, _ _ [Eb] someone won't be [Abm] _ mean.
_ _ [Bbm] _ [F] That's [Db] okay.
_ [B] _ [Dbm] _ _ _
[Db] You never [E] really [Dbm] loved me [Abm] anyway. _ _ _ _ _ _
Not enough to meet me half [Eb] the way.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ All [E] of the something [Ebm] you could [Abm] only [Dbm] _ take. _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] That's okay.
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ I _ [Abm] _ [Dbm] never really loved you _ [Abm] _
_ anyway.
_ _ _ At least not _ _ unconditionally.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Like _ subjects [B] love their wives and [Ab] future queens.
[Ebm] _ _ _ [B] _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
[Ebm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Abm] _
_ [B] _ _ [Gb] _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Barely [Bb] danced, so [Eb] looking right [Gm] with you. _ _
You keep [D] [Bb] treading water [Eb] as long [Gm] as you can.
But I know you [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ must [G] understand. _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [Gm] _
