[Verse 1]
C F
And lover, where'd you lose your patience?
F C
I know you had your patience
C F
And I was just a kid.
C F
And clueless, you'd never stop to wonder
F C
If lightning strikes the thunder
C F
Or if it's just coincidence.
[Chorus]
C
Every time your father beat you down
C
You told him, "Dad it wont be long,"
C F
And as your tiny body slept that night,
F
I had my lamplight burning strong.
[Verse 2]
C
And hated,
C F
Your bedroom is a dark place,
F C
But you've broken all the doorways
C F
And now you're stuck inside.
C
But hopeful,
C F
Your memory's still around though,
F C
You can see it from your window
C F
As it starts to pass you by.
[Bridge]
Am
Now I'm in your car, you hold your apples in your arms.
F
You're a friend I used to know, but you still lean against my walls.
Am
Tell me beauty I won't bluff, I set my mind to worthless stuff.
F
But I was hoping you'd have the decadence, the appetite of love.
F C
But that's alright,
C F
Yeah that's alright.
[Chorus]
C
Every time your father beat you down
C
You told him, "Dad it wont be long,"
C F
And as your tiny body slept that night,
F
I had my lamplight burning strong.
[Outro]
C
And when you came to me, and said, "We gotta leave"
C
And so we took your parents' car,
C F
And as your tiny body slept that night,
F
I had my lamplight burning strong.
C
And when we got away, but in a couple days
C
We crashed in Arkansas,
C F
And as your tiny body slept that night
F
I had my lamplight burning strong.
C
And when the cop cars came and took you away
C
I knew I had to write this song,
C F
And as your tiny body slept that night,
F C
I had my lamplight burning strong.
C F
And lover, where'd you lose your patience?
F C
I know you had your patience
C F
And I was just a kid.
C F
And clueless, you'd never stop to wonder
F C
