  			   D ~            G        A            D        - D7 
1.       I'm not sayin' I have all the answers, 
           G           A              D 
    and I don't care who's right or wrong. 
                               D7     G       D 
    I'm tryin' to pick up the pieces already fallen, 
                        A           D    - D7 
    and put them back where they belong.  
     G   D         A             G       D   A 
So slow down your horses, stop draggin' me around. 
         D            D7       G         E 
And if cryin' is the only way into your heart. 
      D              A        D  ~  
then leavin' is the only way out. 
           G            A       D 
2. We've slammed every door in anger, 
               G      A         D 
    and we've opened wounds we can't mend. 
                   D7         G             D 
    And one night lonely, is one night too many, 
                               A                     D  - D7 
    don't wanna wake up to one more night that won't end.  + REFRAIN  
         A                               D        A                     D 
3. When late nights and long lies came knockin', you just invited them in. 
             A          A7           Bm 
    And our voices got too loud for talkin'  
              G                            Em              A 
    then my heart hit the floor, but your feet just kept walkin'. 
             D            D7       G           D 
    And if cryin' is the only way you hear me hurtin', 
                                         A 
    For the lovin' that I can't live without. 
            D                D7      G          E 
    And if lovin' ain't the only way into your heart, 
          D              A             G  ~   D              A        {G}-{D} 
    Then leavin' is the only way out, oh, -  leavin' is the only way o...ut.
