INTRO - D# - D/D# - Cmin
Gmin A# D#
Well I can’t keep the first night
Cmin A# D#
This love didn’t hit her quite right
Gmin A# D#
You can say anything that you need to sleep
Bmin A D
But the look on your face won’t convince me
CHORUS
Gmin D7 D# Cmin
You said you loved me, but you couldn’t quite tell
Gmin D7
And all I wanted was to run like hell
D# D/D# Cmin
And hope that I saved myself
Gmin A# D#
It’s not a new shirt that doesn’t fit
Cmin A# D#
It’s just a tear in the fabric
Gmin A# D#
You can stitch it up, but still see the skin
Cmin A# D#
Right where you let him creep in
CHORUS
Gmin D7 D# Cmin
You said you loved me, but you couldn’t quite tell
Gmin D7
And all I wanted was to run like hell
D# D/D# Cmin
And hope that I saved myself
Gmin A# D#
Every fish needs a chance to swim
Cmin A# D#
And every shark has a special grin
Gmin A# D#
So while I’m building the walls to conceal the mess
Cmin A# D#
You’re slipping right out of that black dress
CHORUS
Gmin D7 D# Cmin
You said you loved me, but you couldn’t quite tell
Gmin D7
And all I wanted was to run like hell
D# D/D# Cmin
And hope that I saved myself

[Intro/Head]
E B F# G#min, E B F# G#min, E B F# - Held
G#min E B
Well I sleep to forget
C#m B F#
I’m losing sight of what I have
G#min E B
And all jealous men sing
C#min B
And tiny ropes will hold their wings
C#min
They never felt a thing
E B G#min F#
Because all this time you were yelling the answers
E B G#min F#
No one was listening to a word you said
E B G#min F#
And, unbeknownst, I was yelling at strangers
C#min
‘Cause it’s midnight in Charlottetown
B G#min F#
And I’m so far from home now
B
And you now
[E B F# G#min, E B F# G#min, E B F# - Held]
And I love so hard
But I swear that gives me a stronger heart
Could you see it that way
And if I come home, could you let me stay
And love me just the same?
Because all this time you were yelling the answers
No one was listening to a word you said
And, unbeknownst, I was yelling at strangers
‘Cause it’s midnight in Charlottetown
And I’m so far from home now

D Amin C G
Well the party got old, I had nowhere to go
Emin C D Amin
Till then, I could lie, I came here all the time
D Amin C G
And then your voice, it cut through all the shit, and I knew
Amin-G-F#-D C G
That you might be the one for me, lover
D Amin C G
I had a girl by my arm, kind heart, cold charm
Emin C D Amin
And your man was at home, you came here on your own
D Amin C G
And when the morning it grew, I think both of us knew
Amin-G-F#-D C G
That he won’t be the one for you, lover
D Amin C G
Time’s a wonderful mess, that hurts us none the less
Emin C D Amin
Long days, longer nights, snowed in tail lights
D Amin C G
And that girl by my arm, let me know with no charm
Amin-G-F#-D C G
That she won’t be the one for me, lover
C G Amin C G Amin C
I can’t quite recall the day that you came, you came to me
C G Amin C G
When everybody’s running away, I’ll stay patiently
D Amin C G
Every party must end, every joke can offend
Emin C D Amin
Every faith has a lie, every rich man will die
D Amin C G
With every night claims the day, I hope you never say
Amin-G-F#-D C G
That you won’t be the one for me, lover
Amin-G-F#-D C G
That you won’t be the one for me, lover

Young Hearts

A D A
Well I once knew a girl with a look in her eyes
A E E7
She taught me of loving anew
Bmin D A
And with a heart so reckless, and free of all care
F#min D A
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
A D A
So I went off a travelling, and dreaming of her
A E E7
She lay awake at home
Bmin D A
On my arrival, her heart was a stone
F#min D A
And that house was no longer my own
D A
So give yourself when you’re young
D E E7
Just know when you’re swimming too deep
Bmin D A
‘Cause a young heart will love you for all of your days
F#min D D - A
But when it leaves, then it’s your heart it keeps
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK - VERSE CHORDS
A D A
In this life there’s a wind that will blow at your back
A E E7
Then turn and spit dust in your teeth
Bmin D A
And that wind will bring fortune, love and good health
F#min D A
But like all things, there’s more underneath
A D A
So be good to your words, and love when you can
A E E7
It’s all you can take to your sleep
Bmin D A
And a young heart is reckless, and free of all care
F#min D A
As only the lucky will see
D A
So give yourself when you’re young
D E E7
Just know when you’re swimming too deep
Bmin D A
‘Cause a young heart will love you for all of your days
F#min D D - A
But when it leaves, then it’s your heart it keeps
Bmin A (D-A)
You fall asleep alone,
D E E7
and you know what you’ll find in your dreams
Bmin D A
‘Cause a young heart will love you for all of your days
F#min D D - A
But when it leaves, then it’s your heart it keeps
OUTRO
F#min D D - A

Good Luck

E
That freefall moment when you’re lying in bed
With every other life you could have lived, in your head
A
You try as you might, but the house always wins
And the cage around your heart is lookin’ ugly as sin
F# B
So I spent all my money, and I’m miles from home
C# A E
But I hope this good luck never leaves me alone
E
Everybody has a little hate for themselves
When they’re trying to live for someone, but they’re somebody else
A
Watching their dreams slowly circle the sink
C# A E
Their eyes all blurry from the tears in the drink
F# B
So I spent all my money, and I’m miles from home
C# A E
But I hope this good luck never leaves me alone
F# B
Yeah I tried to stop drinking so the shakes wouldn’t show
C# A E
And I hope this good luck never leaves me alone
E
You’re landing in a city and you hope for the best
It’s the only thing that’s ever going to see through the mess
A
There’s a hospital building, and a shallow grave
C# A E
And the cost of living means there’s nothing left here to save
F# B
So I spent all my money, and I’m miles from home
C# A E
But I hope this good luck never leaves me alone
F# B
Yeah I tried to stop drinking so the shakes wouldn’t show
C# A E
And I hope this good luck never leaves me alone
F# B
And waiting’s just another way of failing to grow
C# A E
So I hope this good luck never leaves me alone

That's How

A D A
That’s how it all ends up
A D A
That’s how it all ends up
F# G G# D
You can drink from a bottle, you can drink from a cup
F# G G# D
Just make sure you know when enough is enough
A E A
Cause that’s how it all ends up
A D A
Did you hear about young Danny Lee?
A D A
He had at least 6 more whiskeys than me
F# G G# D
Till the whiskey made him frisky, and his private’s fell asleep
A E A
And he’s passed out like a fallen tree
Chorus
And I heard about poor Emmy Lou
She had at least 5 more Rob Roys than you
And she wanted to dance, but after three steps she’s through
And there’s nothing more that poor old girl could do
Chorus
Well I heard about old Mary Jane
She drank her rum and her water the same
But she’s too drunk she’s forgetting that today is her wedding
And she’s only got herself to blame
Chorus
And I heard about old Ben McGee
He had enough junk to stop the machine
He’s flat out on his back, by that old south rail track
And that’s the last that Ben was seen
Chorus x 2
