Instead Of Me

Em  A Em A


[Verse 1]

Em
Today I read your note one last time, And made a picture in my mind
A       D           A                   Em A    D               A    G
Then I buried your words in the ground, For no one to be found
Em
It troubles me to see the dirt on my hands, But I think you'd understand
        A                           Em
God I miss you, God I miss you


[Chorus]

F#                                              Bm              Em
Oh I know you are thinking of me but it's just not enough
F#                                      Bm
You say "be patient my dear" but I need you here

G                               D               A
But instead you're lost in feelings for somebody else
                G               D               A                          Bm A G       Bm A G
oh, And it hurts me you're with him now instead of me, Instead of me    instead of me


[Verse 2]

Em
Sometimes it's almost too much to bear, And it seems so unfair
A      D           A              Em A      D        A       G
Every secret and every little lie, Feeds the guilt inside
Em
Now I know there is no other way, Still I long for the day
          A                       Em
When we can be as one, be as one


[Chorus]

F#                                              Bm              Em
Oh I know you are thinking of me but it's just not enough
F#                                      Bm
You say "be patient my dear" but I need you here

G                               D               A
But instead you're lost in feelings for somebody else
                G               D               A                          Bm A G       Bm A G
oh, And it hurts me you're with him now instead of me, Instead of me    instead of me


[Bridge]

A                                                          Em     F#    Em
Let's pretend for a moment, my dear, We could have it our way
A                                                                       Em              F#  
Our very own place, sipping red wine and beer, On the porch, on a summer's day
    Em      G

A
Wouldn't that be great?


[Outro]

G                                D                 A
But till then you're lost in feelings for somebody else
           G                D                A
And it hurts me you're with him now instead of me, instead of me..
