The Way I Tend To Be

[Verse 1]
C        C                 G
 Some mornings I pray for evening
        Dsus4          C
For the day  to be done
                       G
And some summer days I hide away
    Dsus4                Em
And wait for rain to come
               C                 G
'Cause it turns out hell will not be found
    Dsus4               C
Within   the fires below
                          G
But in making do and muddling through
            Dsus4             Em
When you've nowhere else to go
             C  G   Em11/D
But then I remember you   

[Chorus]
           C                     Em           Em11/D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do
             C  G     Em11/D
And if you remembered me    
              C                Em          Em11/D
You could save me from the way I tend to be
                    G Dsus4 Em
The way I tend to be

[Verse 2]
C G Dsus4 Em C         C
              Some days I wake up dazed,
G
 my dear
    Dsus4                C
And don't know where I am
                             G
I've been running now so long I'm scared
        Dsus4              Em
I've forgotten how to stand
      C                 G
And I stand alone in airport bars
    Dsus4                   C
And gather thoughts to think
                         G
That if all I had was one long road
         Dsus4          Em
It could drive a man to drink
             C  G   Em11/D
But then I remember you   

[Chorus]
           C                     Em           Em11/D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do
             C  G     Em11/D
And if you remembered me    
              C                Em          Em11/D
You could save me from the way I tend to be

[Bridge]
           Am
'Cause I've  said,
       Cmaj7/B
"I love       you,
    C          D              Em7             D7         G
" so many times That the words   kind of died in my mouth
      Am            Cmaj7/B          C           D
And I meant it each time   with each beautiful woman
        Em7    D7          G
But somehow it never works out
       Am           Cmaj7/B     C               D
But you  stood apart       in my calloused heart And you
      Em7             D7              G
taught   me and here's  what I learned
         Am        Cmaj7/B             C          D
That love  is about       all the changes you make And
   Em7          D7      G
not   just three  small words

[Pre-Chorus]
           C     G Em11/D C
And then I catch myself  
              Em       Em11/D
Catching your scent on someone else
     C   G   Em11/D
In a crowded space 
            C              Em            Em11/D
And it takes me somewhere I  cannot quite      place
             C  G   Em11/D
But then I remember you   

[Chorus]
           C                     Em           Em11/D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do
             C  G     Em11/D
And if you remembered me    
              C                Em          Em11/D
You could save me from the way I tend to be
                    G Dsus4 Em
The way I tend to be
