Verse 1
E|E|E|-----||-|- 

      C                             G
Well I turned out my pockets at the end of the night,
Am7                             G                 F
   Still had some money I was doing alright but I knew

(same chords)

I heard the fireworks cracking and the sky was golden,
Chinese lanterns set free on the rise but I knew

Em            F                 C
   Love don't wait around for you

(INTRO/ LINK RIFF)

I took one for the team but I never played the same,
They wrote my story and they asked for my name but I knew
And I learned how to lie how to make believe,
I tried for hours to pull you out of my sleve but I knew

   Try to work it out you won't before it's gone
G             G/A    G/B     C              F
   Life don't always go the way you want it to
Em             F                C
   And I can't wait around for you

All the guests at my table were folks I didn't know,
I sang for hours yeah I put on a show but I knew
And then I saw you one time you just turned and ran,
I danced cartwheels around you and I walked on my hands but I knew
