"Undertow"
Careful Confessions
Bm E7 A
Silly me, look what I did again
Bm E7 A
I found what I want is what I cannot have
Bm E7 A
I didn't mean to be so predictable
Bm E7 A
But I blame it all on who made you irresistible
Bm E7/G#
And it isn't something I need
G F#
'til you tell me I can't
Bm E7/G#
Why wear my heart on my sleeve
G/B A/C#
When it looks so good in your hand
Dmaj7 A6 Gmaj7/B A/C#
My heart breaks in a heart beat
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 A7
And you storm me when you come and go
Dmaj7 A6 Gmaj7/B A/C#
The taste of something so sweet should have
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 A7
Warned me 'bout the undertow
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 A7
Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
Bm E7 A
Little girl, I don't know why you stay
Bm E7 A
If I had a feather for every time daddy said that I could fly away
Bm E7 A
Old habits are so hard to break
Bm E7 A
It'd be a shame to stop now that I've started to make really good mistakes
Bm E7/G#
And I don't know why I must ask
G F#
For the forbidden fruit
Bm E7/G#
I saw the snake in the grass
G/B A/C#
But I had bitten too soon
D A Gmaj7/B A/C#
My heart breaks in a heart beat
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 A7
And you storm me when you come and go
D A Gmaj7/B A/C#
The taste of something so sweet should have
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 A7
Warned me 'bout the undertow
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 A7
Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
G Em G Em
I should have seen you coming in
G Em Bm A E/G#
Should recognize the signs a wave's gonna break
G Em G Em
Now, I've given in, why fight it when
G Em Bm A G Gadd9
I'm resigned to simply live in your wake
F
Your wake
D A Gmaj7/B A/C#
My heart breaks in a heart beat
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 A7
And you storm me when you come and go
D A Gmaj7/B A/C#
The taste of something so sweet should have
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 A7
Warned me 'bout the undertow
Gadd9 D/F# Em7 A7
Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
Gadd9 D/F# Em
Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
