G
Our missing pieces walk between us

              C/G    Em9/F#      Am7
When we were moving through the door

D                   C/G              G
You called 'em mine, I called 'em yours

 G
You make me get so angry

          C/G     Em9/F#  Am7
And I'd stay there on my own

We both make peace but all alone

I can't read it, didn't mean it

              C/G    Em9/F#   Am7
As you would rage how I was wrong

D                C/G                  G
Life is too short, and you'd stay too long

 G
Let's be honest, we were strongest

       C/G      Em9/F#   Am7
Till I let you drag me down

D                       C/G  G
I was sorry then, I'm not now
[Bridge]
F                  Am7
Some get a golden heart

D               Em
Some get a riverside

     F                 Am7              D  C/G
Some get a house that lets the years go by
[Verse 3]
            G
That life is ending, you seem contented

          C/G       Em9/F#   Am7
While the graveside flowers die

D                 C/G           G
I call 'em yours, you call 'em mine

G
Nothing makes silence like experience

          C/G    Em9/F#   Am7
There's a message in my eyes

D                                    C/G   G
You'd better love yourself, 'cause I tried
[Chorus]
D                                      C/G
Some call it talking blues (talking blues)

Some call it getting even in a song
