Intro
NC Riff
You can take me away from my sorrow, but you can't take away my scars.
I stand in the middle of the highway, playing chicken with the cars.
E Ebm C#m F#-Bsus4-B
It's not that I'm destructive; I just want to feel your pain.
CHORUS 1
B E C#m F#
If there was any way, I could have known,
B E C#m F#
I would trip and fall, away from you.
B E C#m F#
If there was anything, I could have done,
G#m F# E Riff (x2)
To stay in love with you, - with you…
NC Riff
Wish I could say to you what you are to me, but I know it would make you sad.
You are too good to be my lover, but you've been the greatest dad, I ever had.
E Ebm C#m F#-Bsus4-B
You made my life so lovely, I just had to mess it up.
CHORUS 2
B E C#m F#
If there was any way, I could have known,
B E C#m F#
I would trip and fall, from your grace.
B E C#m F#
If there was anything, I could have done,
G#m F# E
To stay in love with you
BRIDGE (fingerpicked)
G#m G#m/G G#m/F# Bb7b5 E
If I knew, I'd do it twice, just to make sure that I did it right.
SOLO Break (over chorus chords)
B E C#m F#
If there was any way, I could have known,
B E C#m F#
I would always need, to be alone.
B E C#m F#
If there was anything, I could have done,
G#m F# E
To stay in love with you,
G#m F# E Riff
I’d be in love with you. With you.

I hope you enjoy this, my first submitted tab. It’s a catchy tune, fun to play
with a second guitar; that player can riff on a palm-muted B5 during the verses
and also cover the solo (in E).
