Tom : Am
[Intro]
C E Am E5 C
When I was your girl
E
I didn't know that I would
Am
end where you begin
E5
more beautiful in your skin
C
No matter of regret
E
this loosening curl
Am
Teasing you out
E5
When I was your girl
C E Am
In my room you said we'll stay here for an endless year
F C
Close the door we're letting no one near
E Am
When I was your girl
E5
When I was your girl
C
And then today
E
All the nightmares came my way
Am
All the tears I tried to stay
F
You were never satisfied
C
When I was your girl
G
When I was your girl
C
And when I was she
E
I'd put on every coat
Am
To wear the weather down
E5
But even in the sun
C
You said you tasted rain
E
I watched you unfurl
Am
You held on to me
E5
When I was your girl
C E Am
In my cups I see you watching from the edge of the bed
F C
I'm sinking words that you never said
E Am
When I was your girl
E5
When I was your girl
C
And then today
E
I'll be keeping out your way
Am
Every debt they owe I pay
F
They were never satisfied
C
When I was your girl
G
When I was your girl
Bridge : C E Am F C G
C
We tore out a page
E
Impolitely quit the stage
Am
Into corners sweep our rage
F
I would never leave you crying
C
When I was your girl
G
When I was your girl
F
When I was your girl
