Tearin' in his soul

He says I'm only
D
And while I've gone away, only

Every single day, lonely

Well I can't be so strong, why don't you let me go?
D
I've been in weakness and I'm hungry
D
It's why I've gone away, only

Every single day, lonely
Well I can't run away, why don't you let me go?

Say, I, I know

D G D
Well I will wait for, mm
Why don't you stick around
Em D
Wind your windows down
G D D
'Cause it's a hard place, in a hard town

Sometimes I pretend that I can hear his words at all
D
But they echo in my sleep
G
And it doesn't help me keep
Em
From feelin' like I could change something for him
Pre-Chorus 2

I'm one man here today, I'm only

He said I'm tired and I'm hungry

If I could run away, why don't you let me go?
