(Sorry, I'm really not the best at tabbing finger picking pieces. Sometimes, it seems like my hands can
understand the rhythm better than my head can -- I'm certainly trying to be helpful, keep that in mind!)

Em Am C Em
like the memory from your mother's house from before you got too old
Em Am C Em
like the feeling from a photograph before it's meanings all got told
D Am G Am
the words I say can be silver, but what's left unsaid can be gold
Bm7/A Am Em
so get to know me once I go away
Em Am C Em
maybe 'cause I come from such an empty-hearted town
Em Am C Em
or maybe 'cause some love of mine had really let me down
D Am G Am
but the only time I am lonely is when others are around
Bm7/A Am Em
I just never end up knowing what to say
Chorus:
C G
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I'd find myself a maid
D Am Em
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn't need to get paid
C G
if I wanted someone to understand me, I'd have so much more to say
D C
I want you to make the days move easy
REPEAT INTRO:
Em Am C Em
I took everything I thought from what it means to be a man
Em Am C Em
we need words to be put to what we do not understand
D Am G Am
while you lean into the echoes and you do not raise a hand
Bm7\A Am Em
oh woman, help me see it like it is
VERSE CHORDS PLAYED TWICE:
Chorus:
C G
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I'd find myself a maid
D Am Em
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn't need to get paid
C G
if I wanted someone to understand me, I'd have so much more to say
D C
I want you to make the days move easy
C G
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I'd find myself a maid
D Am Em
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn't need to get paid
C G
if I wanted someone to cut me down, I'd have handed you the blade
D C
I want you to make the days move easy
D C
I just want you to make the days move easy
REPEAT INTRO:
END!!!
