Tuning: E A D G B E

[Verse 1]

^EbI get home and ^Fmit's already ^Dbdark ^EbKick my shoes off, ^Fmleave them in the ^Dbhall It's been ^Ebfreezing in this ^Fmhouse Since the ^Dbday that you flew south Now I'm ^Ebshivering, just ^Fmtryna switch you ^Dbout

As ^Bbmcliche as it ^Ebseems I'm ^Fmstrung out ^Ebon a ^Dbdream It's ^Bbmtaking all my ^Fmstrength To keep me ^Ebclean

[Chords]

Take the ^Abedge off Take the ^Ebedge off I just ^Fmneed a little taste To ^Dbget me through the night Take the ^Abedge off Take the ^Ebedge off Lord knows ^Fmwhat I'd give away To ^Dbfeel you one more time

[Verse 2]

I ^Ebknow by now for ^Fmcertain you moved ^Dbon Maybe ^Ebyou were someone ^Fmelse's all ^Dbalong ^EbSlipping off your ^Fmdress Lean your ^Dbhead against his chest ^EbWhile I'm left here in the ^Fmarms of my ^Dbregret

The ^Bbmceiling, it spins and ^Ebshakes And ^Fmstill I ^Ebcannot ^Dbescape There's ^Bbmonly one thing ^Fmthat can dull this ^Ebpain

[Chorus]

And take the ^Abedge off Take the ^Ebedge off I just ^Fmneed a little taste To ^Dbget me through the night Take the ^Abedge off Take the ^Ebedge off Lord knows ^Fmwhat I'd give away To ^Dbfeel you one more time

[Bridge]

^FmI'm passing ^Ebdays watching ^Abcars The ^Bbmsun goes down, the ^Abheadlights flicker ^Ebon ^FmThen in the ^Ebdark counting ^Abstars ^Bbmand ^Abwishing ^Ebupon

[Chorus]
