[F] [F] [G] [D]
I [D]steal a few [G]breaths from the [E7]world for [A]a minute.

And [G]all of the [E7]things I have [A]seen will be [D]gone.
With my [G]eyes with my [E7]body with [A]me.


But [F]me and my husband, we are doing [G]better. [D]
It’s always been just him and me [E7]together.
So I [F]bet all I [G]have on that. [G]
Furrowed [A]brow, and at [D]least in this [G]lifetime.
[D]We’re sticking [C]together.
[D]Me and my [G]husband, [D]we’re sticking [C]together.


[F] [F] [G] [D] [E7]
And [F]I am the [G]idiot [E7]with the [A]painted [D]face.
In the [G]corner, [E7]taking up [A]space.

But [F]me and my husband, we are doing [G]better. [D]
It’s always been just him and me [E7]together.
So I [F]bet all I [G]have on that. [G]
Furrowed [A]brow, and at [D]least in this [G]lifetime.
[D]We’re sticking [C]together.
