Intro: E D A A x2
E
You can't say we haven't tried
D
But the knot that we both tied
A A
Has become a little frayed
E
It's unraveled through the years
D
It's weathered many tears
A A
But she's holding it in place
E
I don't say much these days
D
I just stay up way to late
A A
Watching the TV
E
And she slips away upstairs
D
But leaves the bedroom door ajar
A A
So she can fall asleep with me
F#m
I loose myself sometimes
D
When I open up the wine
A A
We keep around for company
F#m
I don't want to close my eyes
D
Cause I know I'll lose the night
A A
And wake up to misery.
Break: E D A A x2
E
And I guess that I'd admit
D
That lately around here
A A
She's the only one that gives.
E
Yeah I know that compromise
D
Is just a part of life
A A
But it ain't no way to live
F#m
I'm up late again tonight
D
Staring at the TV light
A A
As it dances on the wall
F#m
When she hears the sounds below
D
She don't feel so alone
A A
That's why she leaves the door ajar
Break: E D A A x2
E
And I don't want to close my eyes
D
Cause I know I'll loose the night
A A
Then I'll have a choice to make
E
Cause it unraveled again
D
But if I'll just hold up my end
A A
We can put it back in place
F#m
Yeah it's unraveled again
D
And if I'll just hold up my end
A A
We can put it back in place
