Chords & Lyrics
-Chords are based on the acoustic version. The album version is a half step lower.
-UPDATE: lyrics have been corrected according to the album booklet. :)
C - Am - F (x2)
If you wanna leave then just go
Cause I can't get no sun in your shadow
If you ain't gonna love me or fight me
Then I'm gonna turn the other cheek and go,
C - Am
go, go...
F - Am (x2)
Cause I've been hangin on the telephone
Lines that you always told
Me and now I can't let go
I've been livin' off the last time
You warmed me with your words I'm
Tired and I'm getting cold
C - G - F
Cold...
C - Am - F (x2)
If you wanna leave then just go
Cause I can't get no sun in your shadow
If you ain't gonna love me or fight me
Then I'm gonna turn the other cheek and go,
C - Am
go, go...
F - Am - C
Turn the other cheek and go, go, go...
F# - E - G - F - G
Every time I push you pull me
Just close enough to keep me here
So pull your anchor up and head to shore
Or sail away
F - C - Am - G (x2) [x4 on the album]
If you wanna leave
Then just go
F - Am (x2)
Cause I've been hangin' on the telephone,
Lines that you always told
Me and now I can't let go
I've been livin' off the last time
You told me you would try but
Boy this is getting old
C - G - F
So old...
C - Am - F (x2)
So if you wanna leave then just go
Cause I can't get no sun in your shadow
If you ain't gonna love me or fight me
Then I'm gonna turn the other cheek and go,
C - Am
go, go...
F - Am - C
Turn the other cheek and go, go, go...
F - C - Am (x2)
I'll be better off alone
Better off alone...
(outro)
G - C - G - F
