Instead Of Me

Intro: Em  A Em A  


verse 1 

Em                                                                               
Today I read your note one last time, And made a picture in my mind 
A       D           A                   Em A    D               A    G 
Then I buried your words in the ground, For no one to be found 
Em 
It troubles me to see the dirt on my hands, But I think you'd understand 
        A                           Em 
God I miss you, God I miss you

F#                                              Bm              Em 
Oh I know you are thinking of me but it's just not enough 
F#                                      Bm 
You say "be patient my dear" but I need you here 

G                               D               A 
But instead you're lost in feelings for somebody else 
                G               D               A                          Bm A G       Bm A G 
oh, And it hurts me you're with him now instead of me, Instead of me    instead of me 


verse 2 

Em 
Sometimes it's almost too much to bear, And it seems so unfair 
A      D           A              Em A      D        A       G 
Every secret and every little lie, Feeds the guilt inside 
Em 
Now I know there is no other way, Still I long for the day 
          A                       Em 
When we can be as one, be as one

F#                                              Bm              Em 
Oh I know you are thinking of me but it's just not enough 
F#                                      Bm 
You say "be patient my dear" but I need you here 

G                               D               A 
But instead you're lost in feelings for somebody else 
                G               D               A                          Bm A G       Bm A G 
oh, And it hurts me you're with him now instead of me, Instead of me    instead of me 


Bridge 

A                                                          Em     F#    Em 
Let's pretend for a moment, my dear, We could have it our way 
A                                                                       Em              F#      Em      G 
Our very own place, sipping red wine and beer, On the porch, on a summer's day 
A 
Wouldn't that be great? 


Outro 

G                                D                 A 
But till then you're lost in feelings for somebody else 
           G                D                A 
And it hurts me you're with him now instead of me, instead of me..
