Verse:
Iâ??m coming into you[A]r tow[F#m]n.
[E] Night is falling to the g[A]round,
[F#m]but I can still [E]see where you loved your[D]self
before he t[A]ore it all down. April 1[D]2th,
with n[A]obody else around; you were [D]outside the house
(whereâ??s you[E]r mother?),[F#m]
[E] when he put you in the c[A]ar, [F#m]
[E] when he took you down the r[A]oad.
[F#m] And I can still s[E]ee where it was o[D]pen,
the do[A]or he slammed closed. It was o[D]pen,
the do[A]or he slammed closed. It was o[D]pen, long ag[E]o.
Chorus:
But do[A]nâ??t lose me [E]now, donâ??t lose [F#m]me now.
Though I know t[D]hat Iâ??m not useful[A] anyhow,
[F#m] just let me stick a[E]round
while I [A]tell you, like b[E]efore,
you should s[F#m]ay his name the [D]way that he said y[A]ours.
But you don't [F#m]want to say his name a[E]nymore. Oh, Cynda Moore.
Intro
[F#m] [E] Baby daughter on the r[A]oad,
[F#m] you[E]â??re wrapped up warm in daddyâ[A]??s coat.
[F#m] And I can still [E]see the cigaretteâ??[D]s heat.
I canâ??t [A]believe all that you're tellin[D]g me,
what is c[A]utting like the smoke through your t[D]eeth
as youâ??re telling me [E]â??forget it.â??
[F#m] [E] But if I could tear his th[A]roat,
[F#m] an[E]d spill his blood between my[A] jaws,
an[F#m]d erase his name out for g[E]ood,
donâ??t you know that I[D] would?
Don't you realize that I[A] wouldnâ??t pause,
that I w[D]ould cut him d[A]own with my claws
if I c[D]ould have somehow never let that h[E]appen?
Or Iâ??d[A] call, some black mi[E]dnight,
f**k up his [F#m]new life where they d[D]onâ??t know what he[A] did,
tell his b[F#m]rand-new wife and his s[E]econd kid.
Though I t[A]ell you, like be[E]fore,
that you should w[F#m]reck his life the w[D]ay that he wrecked [A]yours,
you want [F#m]no part of his life anym[E]ore.
Oh Cynda Moore,
Intro
[A]donâ??t lose me[E] now, let me help y[F#m]ou out.
Though I know t[D]hat I canâ??t help[A] anyhow,
[F#m]when I watch you Iâ??m[E] proud.
When I t[A]ell you twice be[E]fore
that you should w[F#m]reck his life the w[D]ay that he wrecked y[A]ours,
you want [F#m]no part of his life [E]anymore.
oh Cynda [D]Mo [A] - [E] ore.
And itâ??ll[D] never be the[A] way it was[E] before,
but I w[D]ish that you would l[A]et me through that d[E]oor.
D A E (or Intro bit)
end on E
