Salt chords

VERSE:
C
I pay for my room and I try to forget it
Am
It’d kill me I knew, the memory, if I let it
F                                                    C
Hearts don’t fly but they can run like hell when they have to
(C)
I didn't leave you a note, I didn't leave you a photo
Am
I didn't leave you a chance, but I left you, I guess you know
F                                                      C
You’re wondering now how long it’ll take before I start missing you
 
CHORUS:
    Am
But you ain't worth the time
F
You ain't worth the pain
G                                          F
You ain't worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your name
 Am                           F
You ain't worth the life they hand out in a town this small
G                                            F
You ain't worth the sound of the TV from the room down the hall

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



              C
Or my weight in salt
 
VERSE:
(C)
Six years of crying, that’s all that you gave me
Am
Not one more thing, not even a baby
F                                                      C
We were close one time but I guess God is smarter than I am
(C)
You broke every promise, you broke every whisper
Am
You broke every vow the moment you kissed her
F                                             C
And you never thought twice, you never gave a damn
 
CHORUS:
Am
But you ain't worth the time
F
You ain't worth the pain
G                                          F
You ain't worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your name
 Am                           F
You ain't worth the life they hand out in a town this small
G                                            F
You ain't worth the sound of the TV from the room down the hall
              C
Or my weight in salt
 
BRIDGE:
G
All of the salt, gathered from tears
F
Carefully collected from journals and prayers
Am                       C                      Am F C
It’d take you a month of Sundays to lift with a spoon
          Am   F  C
To pour on the wound
 
CHORUS:
    Am
But you ain't worth the time
F
You ain't worth the pain
G                                           F
You ain't worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your name
Am                                     F
You ain't worth the cost to repair the hole in the kitchen drywall
G                                            F
You ain't worth the good advice written on a dirty bathroom stall
              C
Or my weight in salt
 
OUTRO:
C
I paid for my room and I tried to forget it
Am
It’d kill me I knew, the memory, if I let it
F                                                    C
Hearts don’t fly but they can run like hell when they have to
