[Verse]
G I'm not DRobert Frost
if I Bmwrote a poem about the Cweather
it would Gstart in my Dcar
digging Bmout for an Chour
and this Gtown is all just Ddirt and earth
and a Bmlittle lie and a Cbigger hurt
no, I Gshouldn't have left my Dhouse in the first place
I Bmguess, but I Calways
[Chorus]
go Gback to Dwhere I'm Bmmeant to Cbe
I go Gback to Dwhere I'm Bmmeant to Cbe
[Verse]
G so on a Dpolar high that I
Bmfound one night it was Ccold outside
G where your Dfrozen hands are so
Bmmuch like mine,but they don't Ccompromise

now I'm Glooking at the ground because I Ddon't want you to leave

G I'm not DRobert Frost, if I Bmwrote a poem about decCision it would
Gstart and it would Dend in the same place
Note: Guitar hits last C before "I go back..." and immediately falls tacet every time. Guitar falls tacet on
"...place" in the last line (instead of playing a chord there).
