Verse 1:
              D
Well there’s two sides
        A
To my tail lights
           G
And they both don’t work right
                D
And there’s a motel
         A
On the highway
       G
And a hundred miles out-side
     D
Of Nashville
      A
And I still don’t
  G
Know when I can come home
         D
But I promised
          A
I would try so
    G
I might be a coward

Chorus:
           D
Well the first cut
          A
Was the deepest
         G
But it healed up whole
          D
And the next one
        A
Was a soft touch
         G
But it bled out below
            D
We were a team
             A
Till you're toxic
             G           G
I mean you talk xxxx, often
     D                   A
But once upon a time
             G
We were in lovе

Verse 2:
              D
Well there’s two sidеs
       A
To a fair fight
                 G
And you’re the third man out
       D
I was hopeful
         A
With a slow hand
       G
And I got gunned down
           D
Well you asked me
       A
If I could grow up
        G
But I don’t know why
       D
For I don’t know much
        A
I’m a palm frond
 G
Dying on the front porch

Chorus:
          D
Well the first cut
          A
Was the deepest
         G
But it healed up whole
         D
And the last one
        A
Was a clean hit
        G
But I bled out below
           D
We were a team
              A
'till you're toxic
            G
I mean you talk xxxx, often
     G                  A
But once upon a time
           G
We were in love

Verse 3:
               D
Know there’s two lanes
       A
On a highway
        G
And I passed you by
               D
Thought about calling
         A
But I deleted your number
         G
And we both know why

 D
Truth is when I met you
           Bm
Well you know you made me cry
       D
And I knew you for a second
           Bm
You were gone in flashing lights
     D
But since I had one lost one
         Bm
Oh, at least I said goodbye
        D
What’s done is done
                   Bm
It’s not enough to describe
        D
When I met you I regret you

If it makes for the longest ride
      Bm
If I let you stay in my head

Then it’s overnight
     D                            Bm
You like when I sing our songs about us
          D                           Bm
Well you like when I sing our songs about us in the rain
   D
I exorcise us baby
     Bm
I’m working out the pain
         D
Well I knew you had a heart
      Bm
But God I knew just how you were
    D
If I'd have known you I'd have cloned you
Bm
Just to see you hurt

Verse 5:
              D
Well there’s two sides
      A
To a timeline
             G
And they’ve all got the same arc
          D
When I'm next to you
       A
I can wave to you
               G
Because we’re miles apart
              D
Y'know you wrote me
             A
'bout you changed things
           G
But baby you know me
                 D             A
I don’t read a damn thing
                    G
Don’t ever read a damn thing

Chorus:
           D
Well the first cut
          A
Was the deepest
         G
But it healed up whole
         D
And the last one
         A
Was a clean hit
         G
But I bled out below
            D
We were a team
               A
'till you're toxic
            G           G
I mean you talk xxxx, often
          D            A
But once upon a time
            G
We were in love

              D
Well there’s two lanes
      A
On a highway
        G
And I passed you by
                D
Thought about calling
         A
But I deleted your number
         G
And we both know why
