G               Em 
My girl she's a good one, 
C                  G 
she's always on my mind, 
                   Em 
she is a rose and I am a stone, 
             C 
she's always poking her head out 
    D          G 
and striking a pose, 

G                       Em 
I'm always plucking her petals, 
    C                          G 
and some nights we fall out of love, 
                           Em 
some nights I sleep in her arms, 
C                                   G 
some nights I sleep on the couch.

Well I spent that night in our past life, 
C                               G 
wringing out the years from our shoes, 
                                 Em 
in the distance yo lived with my signature 
            C                    D         G 
penned on a treaty that kept our armies at rest, 

    G                    Em 
but I was a pushy little one, 
         C                     G 
when you tried to find someone new, 
                        Em 
I just kind of waited around for you, 
        C                                      G  
because what else was I suppose to do?

I know where your heartache exists, 
     C              G       D              Em 
it's when you are alone and when you're around me. 


Em               C                D 
I saw it in your face the day we parked your car 
       G               Em 
on the shoulder by the reservoir, 
    C              D 
and in my mouth my words did hide 
    G              Em 
for fear of being recognized.
