Verse 1:
       F
What's worse
      G
Bein' wanted but not loved

What's worse
        G
Hearin' what you wanna hear

Or hearin' what's honest?

Pre-chorus:
    F
Our love's misaligned
       G                 Am
'Cause you're on my mind every night

I ignore the signs
    G
And I don't know why
        Am     A
'Cause, baby, I

Chorus:
F          G             Am
 I saw the end when we began
                            F
You couldn't love the way I can
           G                Am
I tried to bargain with the stars

For more than half your heart but
F             G         Am          G      C
You have more pieces of me than the desert has sand
    F                     G                         F
And I have less pieces of you than I can hold in my hand

     G    A
Ooh, ooh, ooh
G
Ooh
F    G    Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Verse 2:
     F
What hurts
       G
Is the one thing that you wanna do
       Am
Is the one thing that you shouldn't do
     F
What hurts
   G
Is knowin' what's good for you
     Am
Just doesn't look good to you

Pre-chorus:
    F
Our love's misaligned
       G                 Am

I stress half the time
    G
And now I know why
        Am     A
'Cause, baby, I

You have more pieces of me than the desert has sand
