_ [A] _ _ [Am] _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] She [A] was 16 and [Em] 6 feet tall [D] in the car of teenagers coming out of [A] the zoo.
She stumbled, [Em] started to slip and fall, [D] feet had huddled on the double [A]-padded leather shoes.
I happened [E] to catch her and said, [D] maybe these ruby shoes are a little [Am] cumbersome for you.
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] Maybe [E] for you, [Em] now.
_ [A] _ _ _ _
But not as shaky as I must have [D] seemed, talking junk through her [C] big ol' little teenage [A] dream.
And on the [Em] phone I could not compete, [D] my dumb love fake [G] confidence was getting [A] weak.
And for a [Em] sec I thought I sounded sweet, [D] but sure enough in a [C] coughing voice I [A] heard myself speak.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _
[A] I could stay a [C] while, most I know [G] later I'll break your [D] smile.
And [A] I can tell a joke, [C] but one of these [G] days I'm bound to [D] choke.
And we [A] could share a kiss, [C] but I feel like I can't [G] go through with this.
[D] And I bet we could [A] build a home, but I [C] know a lot [G] of things for me to lose. _
Is to leave you [Am] alone, _ [Em] _ _ [A] _
_ [Em] leave [A] you [Em] alone now.
[Am] _
_ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm [Em] beginning to like you, [D] so you probably won't [C] get what I'm going to [A] do.
[Em] I'm walking away from [D] you, it probably don't [C] make much sense to [Am] you.
But I'm [Em] trying to save you, [D]
from all of the [C] things that I'll probably [A] say on you.
[Em] _ _ [A] _
_ [Em] _ [A] I'll probably do.
[Em] _ _ [Am] _
_ [E] _ _ [D] _ [A] I could stay a [C] while, most I know [G] later I'll break your [D] smile.
And [A] I can tell a joke, [C] but one of these [G] days I'm bound to [D] choke.
And we [A] might share a kiss, [C] but I feel like I [G] can't go through with [D] this.
And I bet we [A] could build a home, [C] but I know a lot of things [G] for me to lose.
_ _ Is to leave [A] you alone, [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _ leave [A] you alone.
_ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [Am] You'll probably [E] call me a fool [D] and say I'm doing [G] exactly what a coward would [A] do.
And I'm [Em] beginning to like you, it's a shame what [G] a lame way to live.
But what [A] can I do, I hope [E] you appreciate what I [D] do.
_ _ _ _ I'm a martyr for my love [A] for you.
[Em] _ _ [A] _ [E] I'm a martyr for my [Am] love for you.
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] I'm a martyr for my love for you.
[Em] _ _ _ _ I'm a martyr for my love [A] for you.
