Brad Cox - Short Lived Love

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
Em D G G
Em D G G

[Verse 1]
Em D G
I’m trapped in a hospital room
Em D G
That hospital room is inside my head
Em D G
Doctors are tryin’ to mend the stitches on my broken heart
Em D G
Lord, get me out of this goddamn bed

[Verse 2]
Em D G
I fell in love with a woman
Em D G
Sweetest girl I’ve ever seen
Em D G
I tried to show her the better side of myself
Em D G
Give her the best part of me

[Pre-Chorus]
C D
This one thing can give me back my freedom
C D
I just wanna hear you say my name

[Chorus]
C
It was short-lived love
G D
Runnin’ down a highway, hittin’ all the back roads
Em D C
Hopin’ that the rain came down on a Sunday
G D
Stay a little longer, I don’t wanna wondеr
Em D C
If I’m gonna see you next weekend
D
Now your memory’s all I got
Em D G
It was short-livеd love

[Verse 3]
Em D G
I’ve tried everything to forget about you
Em D G
Mixed more gin with tonic than an average man should
Em D G
Powdered my brain with the harshest of chemicals
Em D G
Tried to disappear for the greater good

[Verse 4]
Em D G
There’s something ’bout the way I look at you
Em D G
There’s something ’bout the way you look at me
Em D G
I can’t seem to recreate that with another woman
Em D G
That’s enough to tell me I ain’t ready to set you free

[Chorus]
C
It was short-lived love
G D
Runnin’ down a highway, hittin’ all the back roads
Em D C
Hopin’ that the rain came down on a Sunday
G D
Stay a little longer, I don’t wanna wonder
Em D C
If I’m gonna see you next weekend
D
Now your memory’s all I got
C D
Now your memory’s all I got
C
It was short-lived love

[Interlude]
