From A Lovers Point Of View

[Intro]
Am G F C Am G
F C

[Verse 1]
Am            G
You don't have to drink tonight
         F            C
Why don't we just get some sleep?
           Am          G
'Cause I'm tired of cryin' in driveways
       F                 C
As you slur the words you speak
  Am           G
I know growin' up
            F          C
Has been an evil thing to you
            Am       G
Makes you awful hard to love
       F                C
From a lover's point of view

[Bridge]
Am G F C         Am         G
        And I'll never understand

[Verse 2]
             F                C
How you wound up in the shape your in
         Am        G
But I'll always be the fool
                F               C
Who fell for you in your burnin' skin
        Am                 G
I'll be prayin' for you and pinin' for you
      F            C
And hopin' you get some rest
           Am            G
But from a lover's point of view
              F               C
It's all been hard to watch at best

[Chorus]
            F        C
'Cause from where I'm standin'
          G           Am
You got a long climb ahead
             F        C
I'll be there to wipe the vomit
         G               Am
When you cannot lift your  head
          F             C
Because a lover doesn't leave
          G              Am
When times like these get  dark
             F             C
I'll be there to watch the sunrise
        G           Am
When we reclaim your  heart

[Bridge]
Am G F C Am G

[Verse 3]
F C         Am              G
   And I'll pick you up downtown
                F              C
When you're grinnin' with a busted lip
              Am               G
'Cause you're not known for backin' down
          F                     C
And those boys are known for talkin' shit
    Am              G
But now's about the time, look
    F               C
You really got to decide
        Am         G
Are you gonna be a good man to me
           F                 C
Or die the way you're mother died

[Chorus]
            F        C
'Cause from where I'm standin'
          G           Am
You got a long climb ahead
             F        C
I'll be there to wipe the vomit
            G            Am
When you cannot lift your  head
         F             C
'Cause a lover doesn't leave
          G              Am
When times like these get  dark
             F         C
I'll be there to watch the sunrise
        G           Am
When we reclaim your  heart

[Outro]
Am G F
C    Am                G
 And you don't have to drink tonight
         F                       C
Why don't we just get some sleep?
           Am                      G
'Cause I'm tired of cryin' in driveways
       F                       C
As you slur the words you speak
