[Verse 1]
Fm D# G#
I'm trapped in a hospital room
Fm D# G#
That hospital room is inside my head
Fm D# G#
Doctors are tryin' to mend the stitches on my broken heart
Fm D# G#
Lord, get me out of this goddamn bed
[Verse 2]
Fm D# G#
I fell in love with a woman
Fm D# G#
Sweetest girl I've ever seen
Fm D# G#
I tried to show her the better side of myself
Fm D# G#
Give her the best part of me
[Pre-Chorus]
C# D#
This one thing can give me back my freedom
C# D#
I just wanna hear you say my name
[Chorus]
C#
It was short-lived love
G# D#
Runnin' down a highway, hittin' all the back roads
Fm D# C#
Hopin' that the rain came down on a Sunday
G# D#
Stay a little longer, I don't wanna wondеr
Fm D# C#
If I'm gonna see you next weekend
D#
Now your memory's all I got
Fm D# G#
It was short-livеd love
[Verse 3]
Fm D# G#
I've tried everything to forget about you
Fm D# G#
Mixed more gin with tonic than an average man should
Fm D# G#
Powdered my brain with the harshest of chemicals
Fm D# G#
Tried to disappear for the greater good
[Verse 4]
Fm D# G#
There's something 'bout the way I look at you
Fm D# G#
There's something 'bout the way you look at me
Fm D# G#
I can't seem to recreate that with another woman
Fm D# G#
That's enough to tell me I ain't ready to set you free
[Chorus]
C#
It was short-lived love
G# D#
Runnin' down a highway, hittin' all the back roads
Fm D# C#
Hopin' that the rain came down on a Sunday
G# D#
Stay a little longer, I don't wanna wonder
Fm D# C#
If I'm gonna see you next weekend
D#
Now your memory's all I got
C# D#
Now your memory's all I got
C#
It was short-lived love
