Pretty Girl From Michigan Tab par The Avett Brothers

C               Em 
Can you not see what you've done? 
    F                G 
You gave your heart away like that. 
         C               Em 
I didn't want to fall in love, 
     F               G 
with anyone but you, dear. 
            C        Em 
I can still hear the song, 
     F       G 
the melody behind the kiss, 
    C                 Em 
you gave me, you were wrong, 
      F                  G 
I was right so I walked away, 
             C       Em 
and left you there, alone, 
   F              G 
I got so tired of talking on the 
C   Em 
telephone, 
    F                   G 
how many times would we say the words, "Good bye?" 


       C             Em 
I made mistakes, and one, 
     F               G 
was telling you that I'd be there when 
C                    Em 
telling time (?) had come, 
  F                        G 
I should have said I didn't care. 
        C                 Em 
All the time I would have saved, 
   F               G 
If I had been less willing 
     C   Em 
to accommodate, 
      F           G 
you'd been a little less likely to cry. 



Am                 G 
You go back to the high life, 
    Am                  G 
and I'll go back to the low. 
F 
I should have known, 
G 
But now I know. 
               C         Em 
There'll be no word from you, 
   F              G 
describing how it felt to go through 
C              Em 
what I put you through 
    F                G 
It all makes perfect sense 
            C       Em 
the way you cut the rope 
     F                 G 
that kept you dangling from such 
     C             Em 
pitiful amounts of hope, 
F                    G 
I would have cut it, too.
