intro

G, D, C, G x2


G        D           C C*       G
I can't begin to compete with you 
              D            C       C*   G
and everyone knows I know you know it, too.
          C*        Em         C*              Em
It's a complicated fear  that grows with every year 
          C*             G       D
and it's walking on it's own finally


G, D, C, G x2

G          D          C C*   G
All I can offer are farmer chords
               D              C     C*   G
these simple rhymes and you painted in words
         C*             Em
You can sing this when alone 
     C*                      Em
or whistle it through your teeth 
   C*                  G
and it will feel like home 
     C*                  Em
no matter how far you'll be 
         C*             G         D                Em
from my lonely arms outstretched just beyond your reach 
          C*     G        D
singing "ooh oh oh  baby, please..."


G, D, C, G x2


G        D           C C*       G
I can't begin to compete with you 
              D            C       C*   G
and everyone knows I know you know it, too.
          C*        Em         C*              Em
It's a complicated fear  that grows with every year 
          C*             G       D
and it's walking on it's own finally
