Chords
G9 C Csus2 G9 C Csus2
You would have kept those words on your tongue
G9 C Csus2 G9 C Csus2
If you had known what they had done
G9 C Csus2 G9 C Csus2
While your fists stay right, right by your side
G9 C Csus2 G9 C
Your words they bruise me deep inside
G/B C Dsus4 G G/B C9
I'd rather have sticks and stones and broken bones
C Dsus4 Em
Than the words you say to me
G/B C Dsus4 G G/B C9
Cause I know that bruises heal and cuts will seal
C D
But your words beat the life from me
G9 C Csus2 G9 C Csus2
Sometimes your words are thick as lead
G9 C Csus2 G9 C Csus2
You swing them strong upside my head
G9 C Csus2 G9 C Csus2
What hasn't killed has made me strong
G9 C Csus2 G9 C Csus2
So I'll take my scars and move along
D G G/B C
Goodbye is the best way that I know
D G G/B C D G/B
To forgive and still be letting go (I'd rather have...)
