Verse 1
From her album Central Reservation
Verse 1
[Bm]You walked into my house last night
[D]I couldn't help but notice
[A]A light that was long gone out still [E]burning strong
[Bm]You were sitting
Your [D]fingers like fuses
Your [A]eyes were [E]cinnamon
Pre-Chorus 1
[Bm]You said you [D]stand for every known abuse
That was [A]ever threatened to [E]anyone but you
[Bm]And why should I know [D]better by now
When I'm [A]old enough not[E] to
Chorus 1
[Bm]While every [D]line speaks the language of [A]love
It never held the meaning I[E] was thinking of
[Bm]And I can't [D]decide between right [A]or wrong
I guess sometimes you need the [E]place where you belong
Verse 2
[Bm]Some may sing the wrong verse to the [D]wrong melody
[A]It's little things like this that [E]matter to me
[Bm]Other feel that you should stand
[D]For every known abuse to hand
[A]And all the things that they could never[E] see
Pre-Chorus 2
[Bm]You said you [D]stood for every known abuse
That was[A] promised to [E]anyone like you
[Bm]Don't you wish you knew[D] better by now
[A]When you're old enough not[E] to
Chorus 2
[Bm]When every [D]line speaks the language of [A]love
And never held the [E]meaning I was thinking of
[Bm]And I can't [D]decide over right or[A] wrong
You left the feeling that [E]I just do not belong
[E]Do not belong, [E]do not [E]belong, do not belong
Bridge
[Bm]One drink too many
And a[A] joke gone too far
I see a [E]face drive a stolen car
Gets[E] harder to hide
When you're hitching a ride
[E]Harder to hide what you really saw
Pre-Chorus 3
Oh[Bm] yeah you stand [D]for every known abuse
That [A]I've ever seen my way [E]through
[Bm]Don't you wish [D]you knew better by now
[A]Well I think I'm [E]starting to
Chorus 3
[Bm]When every line[D] speaks the language of [A]love
And never held the meaning[E] I was thinking of
[Bm]And I've lost the [D]line between right or [A]wrong
I just wanna find the place [E]where I belong
(Cello Solo)
[Bm]Why should you [D]know better by now
[A]When you're old enough not [E]to
[Bm]I wish I knew [D]better by now
[A]When I'm old enough not[E] to
(Cello Solo)
