Dave Barnes – Sticks And Stones (Ukulele)

                G9          C      Csus2  G9     C Csus2
You would have kept those words on your tongue

            G9          C Csus2 G9     C Csus2
If you had known what they had done

            G9          C           Csus2   G9     C Csus2
While your fists stay right right by your side

                G9         C Csus2 G9      C
Your words they bruise me deep inside

   G/B            C          Dsus4    G  G/B  C9
I'd rather have sticks and stones and broken bones

          C        Dsus4 Em
Than the words you say to me

G/B                C      Dsus4     G   G/B   C9
Cause I know that bruises heal and cuts will seal

           C              D
But your words beat the life from me

              G9          C  Csus2 G9     C Csus2
Sometimes your words are thick as lead

                G9       C  Csus2 G9     C Csus2
You swing them strong upside my head

              G9       C  Csus2 G9     C Csus2
What hasn't killed has made me strong

               G9       C  Csus2 G9     C Csus2
So I'll take my scars and move along

D               G       G/B     C
Goodbye is the best way that I know

    D           G  G/B   C       D      G/B
To forgive and still be letting go I'd rather have
