[Em]You did many things, that I [G]liked, that I liked
And [Am]you like diamond rings, I can [G]provide, I can provide for you

On the road, and [Am]you deserve your name, on a [G]crown, on a throne

[Em]I haven’t been around my town in a long while, [G]I apologize, but I
[Am]I’ve been trying to get this money like I got a couple [G]kids who rely…


On me, [Em]but I remember on the bathroom floor before I [G]went on tour
Like you said we couldn’t do it [Am]again, ’cause you had a thing with some other [G]man

But your love just [Am]swayed the lies, when he stared [G]into your eyes
He just might be too good for [Em]you, you’re almost [G]dead to him
You’re sleeping with a [Am]frozen heart, well baby girl it’s [G]over now


And you can always count on [Em]me, your [G]unshackled boy, [Am]unrestrained to touch
So [G]immune to love, and it feels so priceless to [Em]me, that you’re [G]always free
That you’ll [Am]take me in, now I’m [G]everything, your everything, [Em]ooh
I bet you’ll take me in [Em]I know you’ll take me in [Em]now, the same place I left you [Em]in (we)
