Johnny Cash [Stripped Sessions] Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Let me tell you the saddest stor[C]y
Love lost, left [D]broken and [Em]empty
Put my heart in the hands of another
[C]Set a fire to the pas[D]t and watched me
[Em]burn

[Interlude 1]
[C][Em][D][Em]
[C][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Somehow I guess it's
better this [C]way
Looking back, was it [D]all just a mistake?
[Em]Thought I could live in the
arms of [C]another
But I guess I [D]wasn't enough for [G]her[Em]

[Verse 3]
I [Em]wanna feel the love you
can't [C]live without
[Em]The one that Johnny Cash wrote
all his [D]songs [Em]about
But I gave it all away for [C]no return
[Em]Guess it's just another

[Verse 4]
lesson that I'll never learn
[Em]I've been putting myself
through your [C]hell
Holding on to things that [B]don't
[Baug]even matter no[Em]w
You found your place in the arms of another
[C]But now I see it's just
[D]the way the earth will [G]turn
[Em]I

[Verse 5]
wanna feel the love
you can't [C]live without
[Em]The one that Johnny Cash wrote
all his [D]songs [Em]about
But I gave it all away for [C]no return
[Em]Guess it's just another lesson
that I'll [D]never learn

[Verse 6]
Can't [Em]seem to fill the void
that lives [C]in my chest
[Em]Thought I was what you need
but I'm just [D]second best
[Em]I'll never give it all
away [C]again I swear
[Em]Don't even look for a heart,

[Interlude 2]
you'll find there's nothing there
[Em][B][Em]
I [C]can't take

[Verse 7]
it back
All the [Em]years that we spent [D]together
have come to an end
[Em]Regret [C]is all I had
Not [Em]sure I [C]would [D]if I could
do it all over [Em]again
I [C]can't take it back
The [Em]memories, the pic[D]tures,
I love you's will [Em]wither
Regret [C]is all I had
This [Em]is the last song I'll
[D]write about you

[Verse 8]
[D]
Forget my [Em]name[D]
Forget my [C]face
It was [Em]all just empty [D]space
[C]Deadweight[D]
No longer a part [D]of [Em]me
