Sticks And Stones by Dave Barnes
Key: GG | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 


Verse 1
               G          C             G         C
You would have kept those words on your tongue,
           G         C             G         C
If you had known the hurt they had done.
           G         C                 G          C
While your fists stay by, right by your side,
                G         C      G      C
Your words they bruise me deep inside.

Chorus
                C          D          G      C
I'd rather have sticks and stones and broken bones
         C         D      Em
than the words you say to me,
             C       D        G         C
Cause I know bruises heal and cuts will seal
         Em             D         G
but your words beat the life from me.

Verse 2 (same chords as Verse 1)
Sometimes your words are thick as lead,
You swing them strong upside my head.
But what hasn't killed has made me strong,
So i'll take my scars and move along.

Chorus

Bridge:
D              G               C
Goodbye is the best way that I know,
   D           G                C
To forgive and still be letting go.

Chorus
