G                                        C             G
There's been a scar on my hand about as long as I've known you
                            C        Dadd4
From being myself the day after we met
      Em                  G          C
If I whittle away the more I learn about you
         G                      Dadd4           C  (then hammer on Cmaj7)
It's no less than a bargain for each piece I shed


[Verse 2]
G                     C            G
I don't remember when my heart was broken
                             C        Dadd4
I'm sure that it happened a few times before
       Em                        G            C
I've forgotten the ache but I'm glad to have known them
      G                     Dadd4         C
Like I forgot the bandage I wore to your porch


[Refrain]
Dadd4                   Cmaj7
I wish I knew what you wanted to say
G           Dadd4         Cmaj7
Lady, what lives in your throat?
         Em           Dadd4    G          C (then hammer on Cmaj7)
I wish I knew what you do when I'm on my way
                     G
What do you do when I go?


[Verse 3]
G                             C              G
A few hours from home by the signs that I'm reading
                               C         Dadd4
I'm careful but hungry like a fox in the snow
       Em                      G         C
If you give me a word then I'll keep on believing
              G                        Dadd4    C (then hammer on Cmaj7)
That there's room in a heart when it's already full


[Refrain]
Dadd4                   Cmaj7
I wish I knew what you wanted to say
G           Dadd4         Cmaj7
Lady, what lives in your throat?
          Em          Dadd4     G              C (then hammer on Cmaj7)
I wish I knew what you do when you're on your way
  G             C            G
What am I gonna do when you go?
