[Verse 1] Ab Cm Ab
I was born next to my mother, she sang me to sleep
Cm Fm Eb Ab
And I grew to adore my father as he drowned in a drink
Ab Cm Ab
And I know that I should be grateful for the things they taught
Cm Fm Eb Ab
I was raised to be so damn faithful I didn't need a god
Ab Cm Ab Cm
Time is crazy, my grandmother made up a lie of her life
Fm Eb Ab
When she died well she gave me a necklace that came from the sky
Ab Cm Ab Cm Fm
Said my grandfather made it out of gold and a diamond that always reminded him
Eb Ab
Of what life could have been
[Chorus] Ab Cm Ab
So when I say I love you I want to mean it
Cm Fm Eb Ab
Cause I say a lot of things that I don't mean
Ab Cm Ab
And when I say I want to I want to mean it
Cm Fm Eb Ab
Cause I know not to say yes to just anything
[Verse 2] Ab Cm Ab
Hope to die next to my daughter, let her sing to me sleep
Cm Fm Eb Ab
Having made the mistakes of a mother, still I taught her to breathe
Ab Cm Ab
When you're low and you're deep underwater stay faithful, remember what you love
Cm Fm Eb Ab
So when the world gets painful you become your own god
Ab Cm Ab Cm
I could daydream, sit back and think of a mythical life
Fm Eb Ab
But the seasons change and the tragic thing is that you can't live it twice
Ab Cm Ab Cm
So I try to be brave and tell her that we'll meet again, that we'd met before
Fm Eb Ab
But I'm not really so sure
[Chorus] Ab Cm Ab
So when I say I love you I want to mean it
Cm Fm Eb Ab
Cause I say a lot of things that I don't mean
Ab Cm Ab
And when I say I want to I want to mean it
Cm Fm Eb Ab
Cause I know not to say yes to just anything
Ab Fm Eb Ab
Fm Eb Db Ab
[Chorus] Ab Cm Ab
So when I say I love you I want to mean it
Cm Fm Eb Ab
Cause I say a lot of things that I don't mean
Ab Cm Ab
And when I say I want to I want to mean it
Cm Fm Eb Ab
Cause I know not to say yes to just anything
[Chorus] Ab Cm Ab
So when I say I love you I want to mean it
Cm Fm Eb Ab
Cause I say a lot of things that I don't mean
Ab Cm Ab
And when I say I want to I want to mean it
Cm Fm Eb Ab
Cause I know not to say yes to just anything
