[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
Lately, my feet hurt
as much as my heart
C
And they're both
tired of chasin’
C
What was over from
the start
             F
But still, I try and
I try
C
Lately, my breath
and the
wind are just like you
C
'Cause they come and go
just as fast as you do
             F
But still, I pray and
I pray
This time they'll let
    G
you stay

[Chorus]
    C
But I wish I had a
little more pride
                F
Than to let you lay
here tonight
F
Knowin’ you'll be
gone before
  C
I open my eyes, but
  G
I don't

So while you're
Am G        F
taking your time
                C
I'll be wasting mine

[Verse 2]
C
I took to reading
C
Just so I just could
find the words
C
To make you want to
love me
And hope that you'll
 turn
          F
that car around
But you ain't
        G
slowin' down

I open my eyes,
