Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I said I could love you as a friend,
[Bm]and not a lover
[Em]I do believe I was mista[C]ken
But all but [G]given time, wounds for men
[D]Please [Bm]remember,
a [Em]postcard is still not a vaca[C]tion
[D]And I don't ever want to [C]take the blame
For [G]calling you [D]at the
wrong time of [Em]day
[D]And I don't ever want to [C]play your part
in [G]all of [D]the games that [Em]you play[A]
[D]There was this gir[G]l in my [D]fifth gra[C]de
She drew [D]pretty pictures of
[G]her mom[D] and her dad[C]
And of [D]both their sisters
[Em]But I've n[D]ever found out j[G]ust what
[C]kind of love to [D]her I've [G]made
When you said you'd stand by me through rich and poor,
[Bm]good and bad times[Em]
Did you mean that was [C]forever?
Or was [G]it just a [D]promise to a
[Bm]guy you don't believe in?
Lay [Em]out our lives
measure by [C]measure[D]
And I will not ac[C]cept the shame
I [G]never [D]promised not to [Em]change[D]
I would never [C]play your part
[G]Warm an[D]d begging to
[Em]change[A][D]
There was this [G]girl in [D]my fifth [C]grade,
she'd draw [D]pretty pictures [G]of [D]her mom, and her [C]dad,
and of [D]both her sisters,
[Em]but I neve[D]r found out just[G] what happ[C]ened to her.[D]
Yeah, it's really [G]good.
