[Verse 1]

G Em7
Things had gotten hard and then we called it quits
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Drove an hour to the Rocky show and after that was it
G Em7
And if you could have seen me, And you know just how I've been
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Instead of asking you'd see the very state that I am in
G Em7
Well, I left for California on a cold October day
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Could have called from my hotel room, instead I cried there every day
G Em7
Saying "God, if you are out there, and if you can hear me,
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
then take the boy from out of all my dreams and bring him back to me".

[Chorus]

C D G G/F# Em7 Dsus4
Cause, these days move slow without you now
C D G G/F# Em7 Dsus4
I thought I was stronger but somehow
C D G G/F# Em7 C D
I have found that the reason that I know just what I want is 'cause I want you around

[Verse 2]

G Em7
Things had gotten tricky when you moved to Tennessee
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
But we always saw the good out there and I started to believe
G Em7
That if I got my shit together we could have a family
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
Or maybe just a dog and a place to live for only you and me
G Em7
But now I've gone and done it paying rent down by the sea
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
In a room just big enough for one to play guitar and leave
G Em7
And I knew I had to do it but I didn't want to be
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
The one to ruin all our plans, to cut our hope and watch it bleed


[Chorus]

C D G G/F# Em7 Dsus4
Cause, these days move slow without you now
C D G G/F# Em7 Dsus4
I thought I was stronger but somehow
C D G G/F# Em7 C D Em7
I have found that the reason that I know just what I want is 'cause I want you around

[Bridge]

Em7 C G G/F#
But you couldn't stay, and so I left
Em7 C G G/F#
Well you wanted to say, well I won't hold my breath
Em7 D
What did you want me to tell you?
C
I've been thinking about you

[Verse 3]

G Em7
Maybe down the road I'll see you in another town
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
If you haven't found someone out there or gone and settled down
G Em7
Well maybe we can try again or maybe we'll forget
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
The way we once looked at each other like the best ain't happened yet

[Chorus]

C D G G/F# Em7 Dsus4
Cause, these days move slow but I'll get by
C D G G/F# Em7 Dsus4
I'll keep on breathing and I'll try
C D G G/F# Em7 C D G
Well I find that the reason why I know just what I want it's not 'cause I want you around
