Standard Tuning
Capo 1

I still haven’t learned the riff and I probably won’t be able to play it :'(
But at least I figured out the chords on the piano, so here we go!

Intro

Am – F – C x3
[-] [-] [-]
She was left alone to dry
To contemplate the things that her other half denied
And a wave of grief in sight
Was cresting and the crash had drowned all her thoughts inside
She was left alone to lay
To think about the things she had only yesterday
She don’t know how he got away
All’s fair in love and war but it’s an ugly price to pay

She felt like she was
Left like she was

Left to dry
She was left alone to heal the wounds that hurt from deep inside
She was left to dry
She had something great
She would have changed if she could make it right

She will sleep alone tonight
And the torment of her mind will keep her up to analyze
All the bait and all the brine
And bitter is the taste there is no sweet to this goodbye

She felt like she was
Left like she was

Left to dry
She was left alone to heal the wounds that hurt from deep inside
She was left to dry
She had something great
She would have changed if she could make it right

And like the splinters from a ship drying on the shoreline
Part of something great but nothing by itself
This love was broken taking part of her away with him
Pieces lying in the sand and broken shells
In the sand and broken shells

She felt like she was
Left like she was

Left to dry
She was left alone to heal the wounds that hurt from deep inside
She was left to dry
She had something great
She would have changed if she could make it right

She was left to dry
She was left alone to heal the wounds that hurt from deep inside
She was left to dry
She had something great
She would have changed if she could make it right

A great song from a great band. Standard tuning. Enjoy! -pbsamson

(The opening line starts as just the solo C and works up chromatically according
to the chords written out below)

Verse:

Would it be ok to ask you how it’s been?
I saw your picure. You look as good as you did then.
Always had to tell you, but didn’t know how.
I wish that I had stuck around

Do you remember that one day in the rain?
You held my hand, I thought I’d never be the same.
So much time between us and you’re married now.
I wish that I had stuck around.

It’s not that I still love you.
I fought [Dm/C#]that batt[Dm/C]le lon[Dm/B]g time ago.
It’s just that I still remember how I felt[F/E]
when I knew you had closed the door.

Now I got through this, but sometimes I still look back.
You’re the girl that got away, and I’ve never been proud of that.
Too much time between us and we’re all grown up now.
I wish that I had stuck around.

Guitar Solo

Now I got through this, but sometimes I still look back.
You’re the girl that got away, and I’ve never been proud of that.
I always had to tell you, but didn’t know how.
I wish that I had stuck around.
Too much time between us and we’re all grown up now.
I wish that I had stuck around.
