A E
[Verse 1]
A
When I finally heard the news my dear, it wasn't from your mouth
E
He just looked me in the eye and then he let the words spill out
D
Darling I'm so happy, you've been waiting for so long
E
To finally find the guy to hold that has more right than wrong
A
And, what's this, is he actually for real?
E
At least it's good to know that you have a heart to steal
D
I held it for a while, tell me that's not true
C#
My dear, we've cleared these last two years, that's been a gift to you
[Pre Chorus]
D F#m E
So picture this when you go to kiss
D F#m E
I hope that every time you'll think of me
Bm E
And I'm gonna let it get to me
[Chorus]
A
I know the scars on your legs
C#m A
I've seen them in my head
D F#m E
Like a map up to you when I'm climbing into bed
A C# A
And I don't think that it's fair that he would lie with you there
D F#m E
And use my directions to get right there next to you
[Interlude]
A E D C#
[Verse 2]
A
Forget the who, the what, the when, the question here is why
E
You set the bar so high and then you dropped it for this guy
D
You're into insincerity, it's scary that I wonder
E
Perhaps the bar was raised so high that he just walked right under
A
What's this? Is it actually for real?
E
Why don't you pick an extra day and call her, ask her how she feels
D
Suppose if you just wait a month, you'll find out for yourself
C#m
The worst part is the truth, you're just like everybody else
D F#m E
So picture this when you go to kiss
D A E
I hope that every time you'll think of me
A D E
Your then and now, they will all run out
B C#m
I know he can't compare to what I used to be
D E
And I'm gonna let it get to me
[Chorus]
A
I know the scars on your legs
C#m A
I've seen them in my head
D F#m E
Like a map up to you when I'm climbing into bed
A C#m A
And I don't think that it's fair that he would lie with you there
D F#m E
And use my directions to get right there next to you
[Instrumental]
F#m D F#m D
[Bridge]
F#m A D
Do you remember when we held each other on the twenty-third?
F#m D
And as silent house your heartbeat was the only thing I heard
E
Does he know your dogs' names?
D E
Or the fact that he can't claim
A
He knows the scars on your legs
I've seen them in my head
D F#m E
Like a map up to you when we climb into bed
A
And I don't think that it's fair that I can't lie with you there
D F#m E
And use my directions to get right there next to you
[Outro]
A
On your legs
I've seen them in my head
D F#m E
Like a map up to you when I'm climbing into bed
A A
And I don't think that it's fair that he would lie with you there
D F#m E A
And use my directions to get right there next to you

Chorus: Same chord structure as the Intro. Jer occasionally plays a lead part
between
chords
while singing. You can either just strum these chords or revert back to the
intro.

The chord structure after the first Chorus is basically the last 4 bars of the
Verse on
studio version:
A E7 D C#7
Then play the verse as normal, then the prechorus, and then the chorus.
Bridge: The studio version of the Bridge has a lot of layers in it. You can alter
the
or substitute a few of the chords and it will still sound fine.

Then play the chorus.
When I finally heard the news my dear, it wasn't from your mouth

Still see them in my head

ANd I don't think that it's fair
That I can't lie with you there
And use my directions to
Get right next to you
