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