From A Lovers Point Of View Chords

[Intro]
Am  G  F  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
  Am               G
You don't have to drink tonight
     F                       C
Why don't you 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
And I know that growing up
            F             C
Has been an evil thing to you
           Am              G
Makes you awfully hard to love
        F                C
From a lover's point of view
 
Am G F C
 
[Verse 2]
         Am           G
And I'll never understand
         F                           C
How you wound up in the shape you're in
           Am           G                  F
But I'll always be the fool that fell for you
                  C
And your burning skin
          Am
I'll be praying for you
      G
And pining for you
      F                  C
and hoping you get some rest
         Am              G
From a lover's point of view
               F                C
It's all been hard to watch at best
 
C
 
[Chorus]
           F            C
Cause from where I'm standing
          G            Am
You got a long climb ahead
    F                C
And I will 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
 
 
[Verse 3]
            Am              G
And I will pick you up downtown
             F                      C
When you're grinning with a busted lip
       Am                   G
Cause you're not known for backing down
           F                          C
And those boys are known for talking shit
 
     Am               G
And now's about the time love
     F               C
You really got to decide
         Am          G
Are you gonna be a good man to me
           F                C
Or die the way your mother died
 
 
[Chorus]
            F            C
Cause from where I'm standing
           G            Am
You got a long climb ahead
    F                C
And I will 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
You don't have to drink tonight
       F                     C
Why don't we just get some sleep
           Am                   G
Cause I'm tired of crying in driveways
        F                   C
As you slur the words you speak
