[Intro] (whistling) D G A G A D G A D [Verse 1]
D
We all come in from the cold

   C
We come down from the wire

    Cmaj9/B                                   A
An' everybody warms themselves to a different fire

    D                D
'N sometimes we get burned

      C
You'd think sometime we'd learn

   Cmaj9/B                                       A
The one you love is the one that should take you higher

          G                      D       A       D
You ain't got no one, you better go back out and find her
[Bridge 1] D C Cmaj9/B A (x2) G D A D [Interlude 1] (Picking) G D G D [Verse 2]
 D
Just like children hiding in a closet

                  A
Can't tell what's going on outside

                 G
Sometimes, we're so far off the beaten track

       D
We get taken for a ride

      G                    A
By a parlor trick, or some words of wit

F#m                 G
A hidden hand up a sleeve
To think the one you love could hurt you, now
                    A
Is a little hard to believe

                                                      D
But everybody, darlin', sometimes bites the hand that feeds
[Bridge 2] G G D [Verse 3]
       D
When I look around

    A
An' everybody always brings me down

     G
Well, is it them or me?
Well, I just can't see
    D
But there ain't no peace to found

       G              A
But if someone really cared

             F#m               G
Well, they'd take the time to spare

                                             A
A moment to try and understand another one's despair

 A                                                         D
Remember, in this game we call life, that no one said it's fair

G
Uhh yeah.. oh
[Chorus]
     D                    G
Breakdown Let me hear it, now

                          D
Breakdown Let me hear it, now

          G
Yeah Breakdown Let me hear it, now

    A
Ahh yeah ahh yeah
[Solo 1] (x2) D C Bm A D C Cmaj9/B A G D A D [Verse 4]
     D
I've come to know the cold

 C
I think of it as home

          G
When there ain't enough of me to go around

                   D
I'd rather be left alone

         D
But if I call you out of habit

           C
I'm out of love and I gotta have it

G
Would you give it to me if I fit your needs?

                         D
Like when we both knew we had it

G                 A
Now, the damage's done

D                         G
And we're back out on the run

                                                     A
Funny how everything was roses when we held on to the guns

                                                       D
Just because you're winnin' don't mean you're the lucky one

G
Uhh yeah.. oh
[Chorus]
G    D                G
Breakdown Let me hear it, now

                          D
Breakdown Let me hear it, now

      G         A
Yeah Breakdown Let me hear it, now
