Verse 1
    Em           G
The day you were born,
      G              Am
I was shakin’ like a leaf,
      Em      G
On an old oak tree,
G  Am       Em            G
   Then you stayed like a thorn,
    G             Am
Red roses rainin’ down,
         Em      G    G  D
Til they flooded me.


Chorus
     Am
Even when we parted ways,
          Em
You never turn, never turn your gaze,
          C
And I can still,
                     D*
I can still hear you say,
                  Em
“Don’t break that stare,
    G                        D
I’m burnin’ in your mirror tonight,
              Em           G
No, don’t you dare call it yearnin’,
                       D
It’s the fear that I’m right,
          Am        Em          G            D
Don’t you try to forget all the things you regret,
         Am      Asus2
In those stained glass,
C       D     Em D/F# G
Stained glass eyes . . .”,
Am7   Em  D/F# G  G  Am7
Hey . . ..


Verse 2
        Em          G*
Had our fun, like a child,
                 Am             Em             G*
Just a couple of knives cuttin’ through twenty years,
   Am7      Em              G
No one ever gets to keep my smile,
G           G           Am7                 Em   G    G  D
But you can peel it off me like one of your souvenirs.


Chorus
     Am
Even when we parted ways,
          Em
You never turn, never turn your gaze,
          C
Oh, I can still,
                     D*
I can still hear you say,
                  Em
“Don’t break that stare,
    G                        D
I’m burnin’ in your mirror tonight,
                  Em           G
And no, don’t you dare call it yearnin’,
                       D
It’s the fear that I’m right,
          Am        Em          G            D
Don’t you try to forget all the things you regret,
         Am        Em              G           D
Like the ashes you spread ‘til you had nothin’ left,
         Am      Asus2
In those stained glass,
C       D     Am
Stained glass eyes”.

No, don’t you dare call it yearnin’,
                       D
It’s the fear that I’m right,
          Am        Em          G            D
Don’t you try to forget all the things you regret,
         Am        Em              G           D
Like the ashes you spread ‘til you had nothin’ left.

Like the ashes you spread ‘til you had nothin’ left,
           Am                Em
And you’re down there in the dirt,
            G               D
You're just hidin’ from the hurt,
         Am      Asus2
In those stained glass,
C       D
Stained glass . . .,
    Em  G  Am7
Eyes . . .”.
