Capo 4
G G/F#
He wrote her a note through the whiskey and smoke
Em C G
On a brown paper bag that he found on the table
G/F# Em
Said I’m sorry I’m not able to stay
C G
But I’ve got to be going away
G/F# Em C
So much that I want to say
G G/F#
You deserve the truth, you deserve your youth
Em C G G/F# Em C
You deserve much better than holding me together
Remember the night we drove under the lights
And the golden gates all the way to Oakland
I’ve never had more fun in my life
When you think of me, remember that night
If I have the right
To ask that’s what you do
Cause I am so in love with you’
And you deserver much better
Than trying to hold me together
Chorus:
G G/F# Em C
So I’ll be gone when you come home
G D/F# Em
Please don’t cry and waste your gorgeous eyes on me
C G D/F#
I believed you when you said you’d never leave
Em C
So please let me
Goodbye, be with me till I die
When I wake up alone in a home that’s sad and new
Forgive me for the things that I do
You deserve the truth, you deserve your youth
You deserve much better than holding me together
Chorus
