intro

G, D, C, G x2


G        D           C         G
I can't begin to compete with you 
              D            C            G
and everyone knows I know you know it, too.
          C          G         C               Em
It's a complicated fear  that grows with every year 
           C             G       D
and it's walking on it's own finally


G, D, C, G x2


G          D          C      G
All I can offer are farmer chords
               D              C          G
these simple rhymes and you painted in words
          C              G
You can sing this when alone 
      C                      Em
or whistle it through your teeth 
    C                   G
and it will feel like home 
     C                   G
no matter how far you'll be 
          C             G         D                 G
from my lonely arms outstretched just beyond your reach 
          C    G          D
singing "ooh     baby, please..."
