Bm
You walked into my house last night
D
I couldn't help but notice
A E
A light that was long gone still burning strong
Bm D
You were sitting, your fingers like fuses
A E
Your eyes were cinnamon
Bm D
You said you stood for every known abuse
A E
That was ever threatened to anyone but you
Bm D
And why should you know better by now
A E
When you're old enough not to?
Bm D A
While every line speaks the language of love
E
It never held the meaning I was thinking of
Bm D A
And I can't decide over right or wrong
E
I guess sometimes you need the place where you belong
Bm D
Some may sing the wrong words to the wrong melody
A E
It's little things like this that matter to me
Bm
Others feel that you should stand
D
For every known abuse to hand
A E
And all the things that they could never see
Bm D
You said you stood for every known abuse
A E
That was ever promised to anyone like you
Bm D
Don't you wish you knew better by now
A E
When you're old enough not to?
Bm D A
When every line speaks the language of love
E
And never held the meaning I was thinking of
Bm D A
And I can't decide over right or wrong
E
You left the feeling that I just do not belong
Bm
One drink too many and a joke gone too far
I see a face drive like a stolen car
Gets harder to hide when you're hitching a ride
Harder to hide what you really saw
Bm D
Oh yeah, you stand for every known abuse
A E
That I've ever seen my way through
Bm D
Don't you wish I knew better by now?
A E
Well I think I'm starting to
Bm D A
When every line speaks the language of love
E
And never held the meaning I was thinking of
Bm D A
And I've lost the line between right or wrong
E
I just want to find the place where I belong
Bm D
Why should you know better by now
A E
When you're old enough not to?
Bm D
I wish I knew better by now
A E
When I'm old enough not to
