Its What You Meant

C 


[Verso 1]
 
           C 
I've been doing all I can 
           Dm 
I've been wrestling with the man 
      F 
From Texas to Montana 
    G                      C 
And every dirty DA in the land 
          C 
And I've let some people down 
      Dm 
Lord, how they hate me now 
          F 
'Cause I wouldn't trade my peace 
         G                 C 
For the keys to the underground 
 


[Refrão]
 
        Dm     Am          F 
Oh, and now I wear these scars 
 Dm           Am        F 
Showing how I got this far 
         C 
And the bitter road ahead 
                      Am 
Is as lonely as it's cursed 
G                      G7 
It ain't what you said 
                          C 
It's what you meant that hurts

G7 C 


[Verso 2]
 
       C 
And I left a few for dead 
          Dm 
The water overtook their head 
       F 
And I made it to the shore 
  G                            C 
Prayed to the Lord and softly wept 
 C 
You can't save them all 
       Dm 
Even great men do fall 
             F 
And now the only oath I keep 
       G                             C 
Is to God with kin and that woman's call 
 


[Refrão]
 
        Dm     Am          F 
Oh, and now I wear these scars 
 Dm           Am        F 
Showing how I got this far 
         C 
And the bitter road ahead 
                      Am 
Is as lonely as it's cursed 
G                      G7 
It ain't what you said 
                          C 
It's what you meant that hurts
