                Gmaj9       C      Csus2  Gmaj9  C Csus2

You would have kept those words on your tongue

            Gmaj9       C Csus2 Gmaj9  C Csus2

If you had known what they had done

            Gmaj9       C           Csus2   Gmaj9  C Csus2

While your fists stay right, right by your side

                Gmaj9      C Csus2 Gmaj9   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

 

              Gmaj9       C  Csus2 Gmaj9  C Csus2

Sometimes your words are thick as lead

                Gmaj9    C  Csus2 Gmaj9  C Csus2

You swing them strong upside my head

              Gmaj9    C  Csus2 Gmaj9  C Csus2

What hasn’t killed has made me strong

               Gmaj9    C  Csus2 Gmaj9  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...)
