[Intro]
C    G C    G


[Verse 1]
C
I bet you're sitting, sipping single-barrel bourbon on ice
                                                                   Dm7
I'm wandering 'round the house, just wondering if you'll miss me tonight
    F
But you won't, baby
C
I'm in the kitchen cooking supper, but I'm cooking for one
                                                             Dm7
Fixed you a plate, yeah, just in case your rambling days are done
     F
It's driving me crazy
       Dm7                G
'Cause I should be at the end of my rope
    F      C/E       G
But I just can't let go

[Chorus]
     C                   Dm
When you said forever, I took it to heart
    F                          G
You wove all your words like a true work of art
    C                     Dm
You tried to unravel, and I tried to patch
  F                       G
I think I could fix us if you'd just come back
    Am             G         F          C/E           Dm
And make something beautiful out of the little that's left
           F                     C        G C G C G
'Cause I'm still hanging on by a thread


[Verse 2]
C
I saw your mama, and she told me that you asked about me
                                                      F
Hate to admit it, but it's all I've thought about for weeks
   Dm7                      G
So here I sit right by this phone
       F         C/E      Dm7           G
'Cause you never said how long you'd be gone

[Chorus]
     C                   Dm
When you said forever, I took it to heart
    F                          G
You wove all your words like a true work of art
    C                     Dm
You tried to unravel, and I tried to patch
  F                       G
I think I could fix us if you'd just come back
    Am             G         F          C/E           Dm
And make something beautiful out of the little that's left
           F                     C
'Cause I'm still hanging on by a thread


[Bridge]
      Dm            F                        G               C
Every thread, every kiss, every touch, every word that you said


[Guitar]
Dm  F  G


[Chorus]
     C                   Dm
When you said forever, I took it to heart
    F                          G
You wove all your words like a true work of art
    C                     Dm
You tried to unravel, and I tried to patch
  F                       G
I think I could fix us if you'd just come back
    Am             G         F          C/E           Dm
And make something beautiful out of the little that's left
           F             G       C      Dm
'Cause I'm still hanging on by a thread


[Outro]
 F      G                     Am G F C Dm   F
Oh, I'm still hanging on by a thread, hmm
