Lori McKenna – Salt (Guitar)

C
I paid for my room, I tried to forget it

     Bb
It'd kill me I knew, the memory, if I let it

F                                                     C
Hearts don't fly but they can run like hell when they have to

         C
I didn't leave you a note, I didn't leave you a photo

         Bb
I didn't leave you a chance, but I left you, I guess you know

       F                                                C        
You're wondering now how long it'll take before I start missing you

    Bb
But you ain't worth the time

Am
You ain't worth the pain

G                                           F
You ain't worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your name

Bb                            Am
You ain't worth the life they hand out in a town this small

G                                            F
You ain't worth the sound of the TV from the room down the hall

              C
Or my weight in salt

C          
Six years of crying, that's all that you gave me

  Bb
Not one more thing, not even a baby

        F                                              C
We were close one time but I guess God is smarter than I am

    C
You broke every promise, you broke every whisper

    Bb
You broke every vow the moment you kissed her

        F                                     C  
And you never thought twice, you never gave a damn

    Bb
But you ain't worth the time

Am
You ain't worth the pain

G                                           F
You ain't worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your name

Bb                            Am
You ain't worth the life they hand out in a town this small

G                                                   F
You ain't worth the sound of the TV coming from the room down the hall

              C
Or my weight in salt

G
All of the salt, gathered from tears

  F
Carefully collected from journals and prayers

     C                   G                     Am  F  C
It'd take you a month of Sundays to lift with a spoon

          Am    F   C
To pour on the wound

    Bb
But you ain't worth the time

Am
You ain't worth the pain

G                                           F
You ain't worth the spit in my mouth when I scream out your name

Bb                                     Am
You ain't worth the cost to repair the hole in the kitchen drywall

G                                             F
You ain't worth the good advice written on a dirty bathroom stall

              C
Or my weight in salt

Bb
 Salt

           F      C
My weight in salt

  C
I paid for my room and I tried to forget it

     Bb
It'd kill me I knew, the memory, if I let it

F                                                    C
Hearts don't fly but they can run like hell when they have to
