Sticks And Stones

Intro + verse:

 F#m aug5     C

 |G     F#m aug5     C| x9


Chorus:

        C   Em  Cadd9      Dsus4     G   Gvar1  Cadd9
I'd rather have Sticks and stones, brok - en    bones,

         Cadd9    Dsus4   Em
Than the words you say to me

  C       Em   Cadd9  Dsus4      G   Gvar1 Cadd9
'Cause I know bruises heal, and cuts will  seal,

         Cadd9           D        |G     F#m aug5   C| x2
But your words beat the life from me.


Verse 2 - played with some variation in picking...listen to the song and you'll get it:


Sometimes your words are thick as lead...

G|-------------------------0-----------------0---|    
D|--------------0----------4--------2--------4---| x8 
A|--------------2----------0--------3--------3---|

G    Dsus4    C  Em  C

To forgive and still be   letting go
