As recorded by The Beths (From the 2020 Album JUMP ROPE GAZERS) [Intro] D Dmaj7 G D Dmaj7 G [Verse 1]
D       Dmaj7 D
Love in memory

D
Was a plague that consumed me

                     G
Shifted all my priorities

           Dmaj7  D
Things I'd die to keep

D
Swept through all that I hoped to reap

                           G
God, I loved how it ruined me
[Interlude] D Dmaj7 G D F#m G [Verse 2]
D      Dmaj7    D
I have kept the hurt buried deep into winter dirt

                                G
I watch at night when the mound stirs

     D          Dmaj7 D
This is not the burn I've known

D
It's an ache in my every bone

                  G
Maybe you want to be alone

      Gmaj7
Maybe I
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
My head is aching

       D           A
But if I keep very still

  G          Gmaj7
I might be able

   D                E
To make this work until

    G
The end of the weekend

Gmaj7
Weak, but I'll pretend

D
That you still want me

A                E    G
I'm the one you adore

N.C.                D   Dmaj7  G    D  F#m  G
But I'm just shy of sure

G
(I'm just shy of sure)
[Verse 3]
D       Dmaj7     D
When do things suffice?

D
Can you be happy all your life?

                           G
Do you think it can happen twice?

D     Dmaj7    D
Maybe that's a swing

G                          A
Hey, you can't win without entering

                     G
Are you cool to lose everything?

          Gmaj7
Roll the dice
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
My head is aching

       D           A
But if I keep very still

  G          Gmaj7
I might be able

   D                E
To make this work until

    G
The end of the weekend

Gmaj7
Weak, but I'll pretend

D
That you still want me

A                E    G
I'm the one you adore

                    D
But I'm just shy of sure
[Interlude] D A D G [Chorus]
Gmaj7
My head is aching

       D           A
But if I keep very still

  G          Gmaj7
I might be able

   D                E
To make this work until

    G
The end of the weekend

Gmaj7
Weak, but I'll pretend

D
That you still want me

A                E    G
I'm the one you adore

N.C.                D    Dmaj7  G
But I'm just shy of sure

                 D    Dmaj7  G
(I'm just shy of sure)
