Cold As Stone

Tom: F

F                    G          C
She left town early on a Friday.
F                          G             Am
Heading down to family in New Orleans.
           F                             G
Said she needed to feel the sun on her face.
C       C/B       Am                     G          F
Talk it out with herself, try to get things straight.
       Am                 G                   F
Lord, all I know is I don't wanna breathe.

                   Am  G  F
Wish I was cold as stone,
                         Am  G F
Then I wouldn't feel a thing.
                     Am  G    F
Wish I didn't have this heart,
         G                                               F
Then I wouldn't know the sting of the rain.
                      Am    G   F
I could stand strong and still,
                      Am   G  F
Watching you walk away.
           Dm
I wouldn't hurt like this,
   Am          G
Or feel so all alone.

I wish I was cold as stone.

F                      G            C
Almost turned around in Mississippi.
        F                   G                     Am
Pulled over on the shoulder along the way.
F                        G
Thought by now I'd be fine,
    C   C/B             Am          G          F
But all these tears are blurring every line,
             G
And I think back to when you were mine.

            Am  G  F
Wish I was cold as stone,
                 Am   G F
Then I wouldn't feel a thing.
               Am  G    F
Wish I didn't have this heart,
         G                            F
Then I wouldn't know the sting of the rain.
              Am G  F
I could stand on my own,
             Am  G  F
Letting your memory fade.
           Dm
I wouldn't hurt like this,
   Am          G
Or feel so all alone.

I wish I was cold as stone.

            Am        G              F
Yeah, it's gonna take forever to get over you.
        Am                 G               F
Oh, and I don't think this pain's gonna go away.
    Am    G    F         Am   G
F        Dm
Oh, scars left when it's said and done remain.

             Am   G  F
I wish I was cold as stone.
             Am   G  F
I wish I was cold as stone.

Wish I didn't have this heart,
         G                            F
Then I wouldn't know the sting of the rain.
              Am     G   F
I could stand strong and still,
             Am   G  F
Watching you walk away.
