Brad Cox - Short Lived Love Chords

[Intro]
Em  D  G  G
Em  D  G  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em                 D              G
  I'm trapped in a hospital room
Em              D                G
  That hospital room is inside my head
Em                      D                       G
  Doctors are tryin' to mend the stitches on my broken heart
Em             D                  G
  Lord, get me out of this goddamn bed
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em              D              G
  I fell in love with a woman
Em              D               G
  Sweetest girl I've ever seen
Em                        D              G
  I tried to show her the better side of myself
Em             D                G
  Give her the best part of me
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     C                             D
This one thing can give me back my freedom
C                             D
 I just wanna hear you say my name
 
 
[Chorus]
                   C
It was short-lived love
               G                        D
Runnin' down a highway, hittin' all the back roads
                Em        D         C
Hopin' that the rain came down on a Sunday
              G                      D
Stay a little longer, I don't wanna wondеr
             Em      D        C
If I'm gonna see you next weekend
                        D
Now your memory's all I got
                   Em    D  G
It was short-livеd love
 
 
[Verse 3]
Em                D                         G
  I've tried everything to forget about you
Em                    D                        G
  Mixed more gin with tonic than an average man should
Em                           D           G
  Powdered my brain with the harshest of chemicals
Em                  D                     G
  Tried to disappear for the greater good
 
 
[Verse 4]
Em                            D                  G
  There's something 'bout the way I look at you
Em                            D                   G
  There's something 'bout the way you look at me
Em                D             G
  I can't seem to recreate that with another woman
Em                 D               G
  That's enough to tell me I ain't ready to set you free
 
 
[Chorus]
                   C
It was short-lived love
               G                             D
Runnin' down a highway, hittin' all the back roads
                Em        D         C
Hopin' that the rain came down on a Sunday
              G                     D
Stay a little longer, I don't wanna wonder
             Em      D        C
If I'm gonna see you next weekend
                        D
Now your memory's all I got
C                        D
 Now your memory's all I got
                  C
It was short-lived love
