Key: BB | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

    


Intro: B/G B A/F# G/E G/C 
Listen to the song to figure out the hammer on?s 
Verse:
B/G                         B      A/F#          G/E                 G/C      
I'm tired, twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark. It could have been.
B/G                               B         A/F#      G/E    G/C                           
Don't be concerned, it's just the power of a breaking heart.
How good am I hiding it?
B/G
Look, I've got some bad intentions.
B               A/F#
Guilty as fucking charged.
G/E                              G/C                                               
Still standing stable, more than able 'cause I know who you are.
B/G                     B         A/F#                 G/E                      
I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I missed.
                     G/C
I regret them all.
But now I know this:
Chorus:
C
I know that God exists.
D
I held her in my arms.
G                               Em                        
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.
G
Take me off your worry list.
D
It'll be better that way.
G                                              Em              
I'm really fine and there's nothing we haven't talked about.
G                                        D
So, take me off your worry list I said, "Throw it away."
G
This is what my life is about.
I might have been gone but I never walked out.
Intro played one more time.
Verse:
B/G                            B           A/F#                                  
I've taken a thousand red eyes to change your point of view.
G/E                                          G/C
What kind of man would take the trust you break and still follow through?
B/G
Cause I'm standin' right here.
B            A/F#
And you may not show up.
G/E                                         G/C
This same gate 14 where, honestly, I'm just sick of calling your bluff.
B/G                         B          A/F#                               
And it's just embarrassing, that I nearly threw up
        G/E                       G/C
And I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up.
B/G                  B         A/F#            G/E               
And at the top of my list, this visitation's no relationship.
                     G/C
But I gotta make the best of it.
Cause I know: 
Chorus:
C
I know that God exists.
D
I held her in my arms.
G                          Em
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.
G
Take me off your worry list.
D
It'll be better that way.
        G                                         Em
And I'm doin' fine and I've got plenty of friends around.
C
Take me off your worry list.
D
Just throw it away.
G                           Em
Well, it's time to stand up on my own for her.
C                        D  
Cause I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today.
Bridge:
G
I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up.
G/f#
Everything is quiet and covered in snow.
Em
There's something wrong here...
C
Nobody's at home.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
C                             D
Now, I'm back in the driver's seat.
                                
Heading back home.
G                   Em
Yeah, back to Texas on my own.
C
Take me off your worry list.
D
It'll be better that way
              G                                   Em      
And I'm doin' fine and I've got plenty of friends around.
C
Take me off your worry list.
D
Just throw it away.
           G                Em
Yeah, it's time to stand up on my own for her.
C                  D
I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today.
G
This is what my story's about.
Em                                        C
I might have been gone but I never walked out.
                D
I'm packin' it up, and I'm comin' today.
G
This is what your story's about.
G
My pretty little girl, can you figure it out?
G
If it helps to know so there is no doubt,
Just listen to the stories.
Not everything is glorious.
G
Some hurt, some love, some shout.
I fought the world and I lost that bout.
G
And you are what my album's about.
