[Intro]
Bm


[Verse 1]

Bm
Boiling water is burning, its been raining for days
            G
And there's nothing but bourbon that takes me away
   Em
I don't sleep when I lie myself down on a bed
        D                      Bm
Someone else's hotel room, I'm restless again
        D                     A            G
Like I'm spread too thin over too much


[Verse 2]

       Bm
So you think you can see that you're bad for me
        G
But I'm better than I sound
                                      Em
And I'm stronger than I've found I can be
            D                          B
I'm looking straight back home where I leave you alone
        D                    A
Wishing somehow that I could be


[Chorus]

        G
More of me
                    Bm
To leave you when I go
        G
More of me
                     A
To keep you when I'm gone


Bm  G  Em  D  Bm  D  A

Bm

[Verse 3]

           Bm
I'd like a slower life now or a faster one later
          G
I want to hurry up and get something done
        Em
For the rest of my time has been purchased and sold
            D                   Bm
To the most seemingly promising one
             D             A                          G
Is there any real truth in what we've been told?


Bm  G  A

[Bridge]

        G
More of you when I'm lonesome and lost on the road
        A
More of me when you're weary from protecting our home
        Em
More of us in our dreams of the things to come
           G                     A
When we're together again, at last, again


Bm  G  Em  D  Bm

[Verse 4]

   Bm
Is anything ever all right?
          G
Don't you want to do something wrong, something bad?
        Em
Just to justify all of these feelings by stealing
D                           Bm
Something that you've never had
     D                           A             G
Is a heart really there? You can tell if you break it


[Chorus]

        Bm
More of me
        G   Bm
More of me
        G   Bm
More of me
   G         A
More of me


Bm
