Magnolia Electric Co - North Star

G
You used to say I had what it takes

.............Bm
I think I did if you meant too little too late

...................C
And by the looks that I’m getting

......................G
I made some big mistakes

G.............................................D
But I thought you said I was great

I shoot straight and give it my best try
I made my heart as hard as nails
And that might be the way you live your life
But it’s almost got me killed


C
Darling I’m not giving in

Em............................C
That happened miles ago

G................D
I heard the North Star saying

C....................................D..........................G
Kid you’re so lost even I can’t bring you home

Em..D..Em..D

Now did you think that we was gonna last
Well honey you know you don’t have to answer that
Half of that was my kind of joke
But I don’t remember which half

I didn’t know how blue I’d get
I didn’t know how I’d get blamed for it
I didn’t chose to go down this road
No one chooses to be sick

I’m saying everything is fine
By the look in my eye
But you know darling
Half of what a man says in a lie
It’s your last chance to forgive me now
It’s done for good
You always said I’d make it out
Somehow darling I knew I never would
