Chords.

The lingering smoke

is a smell that I know,

it clings to my clothes

and seeps into my bones.

It’s a real quiet house

with the shower left on,

sweet tea in the fridge and the second car’s gone.

I regret you

and how long I stayed.

I resent you

for not bein’ brave.

Ohh… tell me somethin’ honest so the

memories turn dark.

You said that I made lovin’ look easy

’til I made it hard.

Give me back my time and I will

give you back your heart.

I thought that we played the perfect couple

’til you didn’t want the part.

Some nights can be

hopelessly lonely,

but it’s better than beggin’ for you to stand up for me… honeybee.

I regret you

and what I let slide.

I resent you

for taking her side.

Ohh… tell me somethin’ honest so the

memories turn dark.

You said that I made lovin’ look easy

’til I made it hard.

Give me back my time and I will

give you back your heart.

I thought that we played the perfect couple

’til you didn’t want the part.

It’s bone-dry, bitter, and hollow,

you’ll be miles away tomorrow –

why’d I try at all?

It’s bone-dry, bitter and hollow,

you will never know my sorrow –

why’d I try at all?

Tell me somethin’ honest so the memories turn dark.

Ooh mm… the memories go dark,

the memories go dark,

the memories go dark,

the memories go dark…

go dark…

go dark.
