A
Come on, my love, I'm not the one that you were looking for
                                D
I'm not the shoulder you should cry on
                         A
I am the one you shoulda let go

(repeat chorus)

(verse: [F#m D A E]x3 [F#m D E E]
F#m                 D                A            E  F
Out my door, on the street, you will walk next to me
Through the cold, through the heat, calm me down in my sleep
Grab my arm, whisper deep, I'm all alone when I think
F#m                      D              E  
You're my soul, we're in sync, I'm your crutch

(chorus x2)

Sit by you, city bus, city streets, city crushed
All my songs, all my dreams, yeah, I ponder what you think of me
As you sit, do you pray, do you wish for a break
All my promises made, I'm your crutch

(chorus x2)

I will work my hands 'til they bleed, so my little babies can sleep
D                                  A
And all of the plans that we made, fall just like a rose on a grave
E                                     Bm
I will work my hands 'til they bleed, so my little babies can sleep
D                                  Dm
And all of the plans that we made, fall just like a rose on a...

Gray-ay-ay-ave
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh Oh

I am the one you shoulda let go
I am the one you shoulda let go
