C G Dm
Rolling through the canyon blasting Heartbreaker,
C G Dm
I see your famous face riding next to me,
F C G D
We smile at each other 'cause we know we know each other,
F C G
But damn if I'm gonna talk to you again,
Dm
I always thought that you were funny,
C G
I always thought we could be friends,
Dm C G
But the way you treated her in the end.
C G Dm F
All the horses and all the men couldn't bring her back again,
C G Dm F
And we tried so hard, we couldn't save her day,
C G Dm F
All the millions and the billions of stars that shine into her eyes,
C G Dm
Are barely bright enough to light her way.
C G Dm
So she covered herself in sorrow and shame,
C G Dm
And smoke and mirrors and fame,
F C G D
And fake love, angry love, bad love and sad love,
F C G
And damn if I didn't almost do the same.
Dm C G
And now sometimes I think I see her, and I can almost hear her cry,
Dm C G
I hear those chilling words she chose to say goodbye.
C G Dm F
All the horses and all the men couldn't bring her back again,
C G Dm F
And we tried so hard, we couldn't save her day,
C G Dm F
All the millions and the billions of stars that shine into her eyes,
C G Dm
Are barely bright enough to light her way.
F C G
He was predictable, cliche, and cruel to you,
F C G
He made it ugly, and he made it high-school,
F C G C
He said I love you, I need you, I want you, I'll feed you,
F C G C
I get you, I've got you, I'll catch you and I'll keep you,
F C G
My sweet, you will never be sad again,
F C G
He said my sweet, you will never be sad again.
C G Dm F
All the horses and all the men couldn't bring her back again,
C G Dm F
And we tried so hard, we couldn't save her day,
C G Dm F
All the millions and the billions of stars that shine into her eyes,
C G Dm
I swear sometimes I can almost hear her say...
C G Dm F
We're just bones and a name, we all go out the way we came,
C G Dm F
So don't you try to tell me that love is all we need,
C G Dm F
We're just bones and a name, we all go out the way we came,
C G Dm F
So don't you try to tell me that love is all we need,
C G Dm F
Don't you try to tell me that love is all we need.
