[Verse 1]
G
I miss the time you loved me when you actually did
C G
When I was just a wild haired messed up kid
G
You told me that I smell like Pabst and spirits
C G
You'd give anything at all to be anywhere near it
G
You grow so fond of things meant to be free
C G
What if letting go is what's killing me
G
I've never felt this beat down before
C G
Soon as I'm back up I'm coming back for more
[Chorus]
Em G C G
And I hope you find, whatever it is you need
Em G C G
Leave it behind, the wreckage of you and me
Em G C G
And I pray you go, back to Oklahoma
Em G
So I can head back home and be the
C G
Man that's never known ya
[Verse 2]
G
Well I'd have move the mountains roped every damn star
C G
To have the slightest idea who you actually are
G
One more moment of you laying right here
C G
I wrote you songs that you'll never hear
G
Started out feeling like a damn rebirth
C G
Till the laughing stops and you lose your worth
G
You question at all when you lie in your bed
C G
Cause you can't take back any love you give
[Chorus]
Em G C G
And I hope you find, whatever it is you need
Em G C G
Leave it behind, the wreckage of you and me
Em G C G
And I pray you go, back to Oklahoma
Em G
So I can head back home and be the
C G
Man that's never known ya
Em G C G
Well I hope you find, whatever it is you need
Em G C G
Leave it behind, the wreckage of you and me
Em G C G
And I pray you go, back to Oklahoma
Em G
So I can head back home and be the
C G
Man that's never known ya
