C 
We'll make it real loud. 


4 years, we'll barely speak, 

    Am 
and you've got a husband now. 


I have Waxahatchee creek 

    F                          G 
and you used to come here with me. 

C 


C 
I need a heavy heart. 

                               Am 
Allison's only calling me when her life's falling apart. 

                                Fm               G 
So, I pour it tall and talk to myself in my head alone. 

C 

C               Am                     G 
But it's really better until I learn how 

              C                       F 
to gracefully let someone in and back out. 

            Am                   G 
But I won't worry about it right now. 

C 

C 
Say what you're thinking. 

                            Am 
I'm watching thoughts dance around in your head. 

                                  F                  G 
You'll let me down easy or you'll beg for my empathy. 

C 

C 
Your lips are moving, your mouth is so close to mine. 

  Am 
I almost can taste your spit, pilsner brew and cigarettes. 

      F                          G 
If it keeps up we'll run out of time. 

C 


C              Am                         G 
I'll write you letters and I'll write you songs 

                C                         F 
and you will be endlessly distracting and then 

         Am              G 
it falls flat onto paper again. 

C 

C 
You're in Carolinas and I'm going to New York 

Am 
and I'll be much better there, 


or that's what I'm hoping for. 

F                          G 
And we will never speak again.
