        Am               G          F
Waiter send this to the table, the party of one
         Am            G             F
The only other lonely soul in this place
               Am                G
And so you're finishing up your coffee
           F
But then where are you gonna run?
            Am        G            F
Where'd you get that look on your face?

             Am            G                  F
You should always let the sun go down on your anger
F   G  Am    G        F
Let it burn you to sleep
               Am        G
And bring you closer to danger
       F
To surrender and retreat
 F    G    Am  G        F
Sing your sad soul to sleep

Chorus:
   F             G                C
I loved you the first time I saw you
          F     G         C
And you know I love you still
          Dm
But I am tired
          G
And I am yours

Don't even think about your freedom or
taking that flight
Or going back upon your promise after
fighting for the right
Because your eggshells and your "I"
statements and your weaponized words
Are paper tigers now

Oh your constant overthinking and your
secretive drinking
Are making you more and more alone
And girl, you can slam the door behind you,
it ain't never gonna close
Because when you're home, you're already home

      Dm
I am tired
      G  F
I am tired
F  G    Am        G       F
I don't wanna go home anymore
F  G    Am            G         F
I don't wanna throw stones anymore
F  G    Am          G          Dm
I don't wanna take part in the war

Chorus:
I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still
I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still

I don't wanna be right anymore
Lord, I don't wanna fight anymore
I'm not taking your side anymore

      F
I am tired
              Dm
I am not my own
         Am G  F
And I am leaving
          Dm
Oh, I am tired
                G
But I'm coming home

             C           G/B         Am
'Cause I am yours, I am yours, I am yours,
       G              F
I am yours, I am yours
      C           G/B         Am          G
I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, I am yours,
          F
I am yours
