Cm                                        G#
Well have some heart and hold it to your chest
                                Cm
We weren't in love we were too young
                                              G#
We throw our words around as if they were not gold,
          A#
Well they are

Oh, maybe someday, I'll be something more
Real, with arms and legs, so I can walk away
And stay away forever and some more
Some more

Chorus:
Cm7    G#                  A#
Stick around to watch this town fall
                 Cm7
Down onto its knees
Cm7      G#               A#
You can pray the day that you hope is
                    Cm7
Coming around real soon
Cm7     G#            A#
I will run and stay away in a place
                  Cm7
I don't know well of
Cm7       G#               A#
You can choose a different son that
               G# A#
You will soon love

G#                 A#
And these are the reasons that hurt me the most
             Cm7            A#  G#
Call of the search she’s coming home
           A#                  Cm7
People lie once but not on the third
            A#                 G#
Not without reason, not for a girl

The names may vary, the names, they may change
But the game, the game, it stays the same
We love, we want the ones that we will grow to hate, to hate
Oh, it's just so, so-oh-oh-oh

Chorus

Here are the reasons, that hurt me the most
Call off the search, she's coming home
People lie once, but not on the third
Not without reason, not for a girl
