how the story ends
Em G Em
You sent me pictures of your neck.
G Em
How did you want me to react?
G Em G
Oh, did you want me to respond?
Em G Em
Look, we can sleep anyway you want,
G Em
with my arms around your arms,
G Em G Em
or I can sleep out in the car.
G Em G Em
I got hung up on the wrong hook.
G Em
I'm tired of knocking wood
G Em G
and not getting let in.
Em G Em
Your eyes are two deep pools of mud.
G Em
Maybe I got stuck.
G Em G
Baby I got stuck.
Em G
My arms are tired, my throat is sore,
Em G
you're the only soldier fighting in this war
Em G Em G
and I'm the fool still cheering you on.
Em G Em
The poems on the pages that you skipped,
G Em
they're just meaningless winglessness,
G Em G Em
forget that they exist.
Em G
Now I'm sure you're keeping score.
Em G
You're the same trick I keep falling for,
Em G Em G
the hurricane that hit my heart.
Em G
I missed the last turn before the interstate,
Em G
and the right words, but all too late
Em G Em G Em
and you're doing great at moving on.
Em G Em
See, hidden in the pages of my notes
G Em G Em
is a letter that I wrote to you, but never sent,
G Em
and that's how the story ends.
