IT DON'T MATTER - LYRICS + CHORDS Capo 2 G All my friends I left behind G I keep the ones I know G Everything get's lost with time G I can't wait till I'm old C G Till it don't matter anymore C G Yeah it don't matter anymore C D I'd rather stay at home G C You see I'm better off alone G Yeah it don't matter anymore G She got lily skin and dark brown hair G I thought I caught her eye G She said it ain't polite to stare G With the devil in her smile C G Yeah it don't matter anymore C G Oh it don't matter anymore C D I'd rather stay at home G C You see I'm better off alone G Yeah it don't matter anymore E G We came undone C G I've been lying E G I'm sorry love C D It's time that I get gone

Got a Girl 03:49
I got a girl and she's got me She plays my heart like a song We fell in love on a summer breeze And now it's eight years on She brings me coffee in the morning And loves all my favourite TV shows Every night we'll sit for hours Planning where we'll go I'm made for only one Steady like the setting sun Girl look how far we've come Yeah we're only getting started And the best is yet to come My girl likes to wear her ring And ink on her skin When my folks come to visit she hides it With a cardigan She gets down on herself sometimes But she doesn't let it out I see through her armor plating And kiss her on the mouth I'm made for only one Steady like the setting sun Girl look how far we've come Yeah we're only getting started And the best is yet to come She came into the world An optimistic girl Then life hit hard and she started to doubt Her time upon this earth And what she's really worth I'll tell it to you now She's the other half of me and I'll say it loud I'm made for only one Steady like the setting sun Girl look how far we've come Yeah we're only getting started And the best is yet to come

I am not a church goin man I keep my faith in my own hands We try as best we can With no regrets and a forward plan No it's not the ending Yeah the world will keep on spinning I'll be home for the weekend But please don't take any offense I'm not staying It's my, it's my time I waste Holding on to a time and place Goodbye, did you hear me say I'm moving on never will I fade No it's not the ending Yeah the world will keep on spinning I'll be home for the weekend But please don't take any offense I'm not staying You can try to be there but you won't, won't I've heard your sorries too many times so don't, don't Say it again I am not a church goin man I keep my faith in my own hands We try as best we can With no regrets and a forward plan

Headlights 03:03
It's getting too bright I'm naked in the headlights We bark before we bite And hope it doesn't backfire I feel just like an outline Of what I should be Everything ends eventually How long has it been? This road is more a pipe dream It's time for coming clean I've seen all there is to see I feel just like a shadow Of what I should be Everything ends eventually I'm running out of time I've stepped upon a landmine If I run and hide I'll surely die by landslide So let the fire swallow All that I could be Everything burns eventually
5.
I Believe 03:23
I believe in honesty Simple living and poetry Friends you can count on and family That's more than enough for me I always get the words all wrong How do we find the strength to carry on Cause it's you and I'll never let you down I guess that's why you're keeping me around I believe in you and me Old romance and chivalry We don't need money we're living free We've got more than I ever dreamed I always get the words all wrong How do we find the strength to carry on Cause it's you and I'll never let you down I guess that's why you're keeping me around I believe in tall tall trees Rolling hills and winding streams City living's not for me Take me to the country I always get the words all wrong How do we find the strength to carry on Cause it's you and I'll never let you down I guess that's why you're keeping me around

I've been staring into space You would be amazed how I'm wasting all my days Since you've gone And left me here I keep time by speaking in a rhyme I must've missed the sign where it said I'd be just fine Since you've gone And left me here Don't go, I said I'm sorry Don't go, darling what's your hurry? I've had the darkest of days I know this might sound strange but I think I've really changed Since you've gone And left me here It's been a very long year I've grown a smallish beard and always think of you my dear Since you've gone And left me here Don't go, I said I'm sorry Don't go, darling what's your hurry?

Last One Out 03:34
My heads up in the cloud You say that's not allowed Don't you ever want to make me proud? I ain't no bastard son I keep no loaded gun But these hands of mine have done me well I've been running round for days Should I go or should I stay? I don't wanna be the last one out It's time you told me just what we're talking about I'm never slowing down This train is glory bound Hold me tightly or we'll hit the ground Please clear this crowded head I feel I've been misled I can't tell if this is making sense I've been running round for days Should I go or should I stay? I don't wanna be the last one out It's time you told me just what we're talking about

Slowly 03:55
Oh she's a pretty one Oh she takes what she wants We're kept under her thumb Waiting for a day that'll never come Oh slowly slowly You're heading for a fall It don't bother me at all That your time is running out Look where you're going You've run into a wall Oh no there's no one to call When you're on your way out Oh she's an empty girl Oh it's a scary world Everything fades everything dies While she's dreaming of once upon a time Oh slowly slowly You're heading for a fall It don't bother me at all That your time is running out Look where you're going You've run into a wall Oh no there's no one to call When you're on your way out Now you've got nowhere to go Yeah yeah yeah yeah And you've got no one to hold Yeah yeah yeah yeah Do exactly as your told Yeah yeah yeah yeah And start, start again
9.
The Door 03:27
Tell me your story and I'll tell you mine They don't end the same way but they intertwine I saw it coming but ignored the signs What's done is done and I think it's time I need more, I'm heading for the door No I won't be back what do you take me for? I'm leaving town, no need to stick around I'll make my way somewhere I won't be found I box all my things and then I close the door You won't have to think about us anymore Maybe someday I'll find what I'm looking for An honest soul deep down to the core I need more, I'm heading for the door No I won't be back what do you take me for? I'm leaving town, no need to stick around I'll make my way somewhere I won't be found We never spoke out loud We're callous and we're proud With our heads stuck in the ground We go to waste We've run the race And we lost I need more, I'm heading for the door No I won't be back what do you take me for? I'm leaving town, no need to stick around I'll make my way somewhere I can't be found

These days I'm living out of reach Seems you're getting the best of me So here's the question Fight or flee? I'll be running away from me Take me home I've had enough of this Take me home Take me away from here I've been losing sleep for a while now dear Let me go so I can rest How did you know I'd call you bluff? I've seen it all now I've seen enough It's a process and mines begun I'm not waiting till the morning comes Take me home I've had enough of this Take me home Take me away from here I've been losing sleep for a while now dear Let me go so I can rest
