_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
I [G] ran to the river, [D] [Dm] crying river, you and me
[F] But the river just [G] laughed, water, and me
I washed [C] and I [G] cooked your [Bb] _ [Eb] daddy's soup and cheese
[Bb] And my song [Ab] from every lookout [Gm] next to me
And cried I believe in you
[G] Little girl, [Bb] take the length [Eb] of your [Bb] father's bright chain
[Ab] And bind [Gm] me to you
_ [Eb] I don't care [G] what you do
[Eb] _ _ [G] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[D] _ [G] I ran to the fire, [Dm] fire, you ran inside me
[F] The fire licked my skin, [C] but it did not set me [G] free
I turned [Gm] to the bottle, [Dm] alcohol, you and [F] me
Let me sleep with a dreamer, [C] alcohol, and to [G] me
You [Bb] chugged your [Eb] daddy's soup and cheese
[Bb] And my song [Ab] from every lookout [G] next to me
And I thought he was wrong
Little girl, [Bb] take the length [Eb] of your [Bb] father's bright chain
[Ab] And bind [Gm] me to you
_ [Eb] I don't care what you do
_ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Gm] _ I don't _ [C]
care [Bb] what you do
[D] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _
I spoke to the forest, I spoke to the trees
[D] I spoke to the river, but they did not speak to me
[F] I called your name in the silent streets, [C] but
I texted your name in a ring around my heart
[G] I wore out my welcome, I wore out [D] my self
I wore out my reason, I wore out my [F] health
I forgot my name on the [C] day that you came
[Gm] You [Bb] chugged your daddy's silver [Eb] chains
And [Bb] my song from [Ab] every lookout next to me
And I thought he [Gm] was wrong
Little girl, take [Bb] the length of [Eb] your father's [Bb] bright chain
[Ab] And bind me [Eb] to you
_ I don't care [G] what you do _ _ _ _ _
