[Intro]
Am G C
Am G C
 
 
[Verse]
      Am           G
I was in my Sunday flannel
         C
When you told me things I couldn't handle
    Am                    G              C
The night as black as the heart in your chest
    Am                 G             C
The leaves, orange and red, couldn't believe the Words you said
       Am                 G                      C
As the seasons changed, I guess you decided the same
          Am                   G                       C
There's a necklace around your neck in the shape of an Evergreen
        Am                  G                     C
Cause I told you we'd never die back when we were 17
        Am                   G                      C
But you hold the ax, and you chop it clean, and you let it fall right down on me
Am                  G                           C
Hold the back boys, tonight she's out for blood
 

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



               Am            G                          C
There ain't no valley in the world, stoops as low as you
               Am           G                           C
There ain't no place in the north that's as cold as you
               Am                   G             C
There ain't no mountain top that'll make me stop loving you
    Am                   G                    C
I'll climb them all if it means I can have you
 
Am G C
Am G C
 
Am             G                      C
Standing in my driveway, watching you drive away, drive away
Am                 G                  C
Thinking about the things we used to say
         Am         G                    C
We'll be castaways, runaways, look for a better day
    Am                     G                    C
But in the end, I'll watch you make the getaway
 
 
              Am             G                          C
There ain't no valley in the world, stoops as low as you
               Am           G                           C
There ain't no place in the north that's as cold as you
               Am                   G             C
There ain't no mountain top that'll make me stop loving you
    Am                   G                    C
I'll climb them all if it means I can have you
