Legs Chords

I noticed no one has done the chords for this? Well, here ya go! 


      A
When I finally heard the news my dear it wasn't from your mouth 
            Em
He just looked me in the eye and then he let the words spill out
G
Darling I'm so happy you've been waiting for so long
       D
To finally find a guy to hold that has more right than wrong 
       A
And, what's this is he actually for real?
                 Em
At least it was good to know that you had a heart to steal
G
I held it for a while, tell me that's not true
D
My dear we've cleared these last two years, that's been a gift to you. 
  A          Em
So picture this when you go to kiss 
    G                           D
I hope that every time you'll think of me
C         D
And I'm gonna let it get to me

(Chorus)

             A
I know the scars on your legs 
              Em
I've seen them in my head 
        G
Like a map up to you
           D
When I'm climbing into bed
              A
And I don't think that it's fair 
               Em
That he would lie with you there and use
G                 D
My directions to get right there next to you

(Repeat these same chords for the rest of the song) 

Forget the who the what the when the question here is why
You set the bar so high and then you dropped it for this guy
You're into insincerity it's scary that I wonder
Perhaps the bar was raised so high that he just walked right under

What's this is it actually for real?
Why don't you pick an extra day, call and ask her how she feels
Suppose you could just wait a month you'll find out for yourself
The worst part is the truth, you're just like everybody else
      A                    Em             G
So picture this when you go to kiss I hope
                          D        A
That every time you'll think of me
                             Em
Your then and now they will all run out 
           G                     Em
I know he can't compare to what I used to be
     C                D
And I'm gonna let it get to me

I know the scars on your legs
I've seen them in my head
Like a map up to you when I'm climbing into bed
And I don't think that it's fair that he would lie with you there 
And use my directions to get right there next to you. 

Do you remember when we held each other on the twenty third?
As silent as your heartbeat, was the only thing I heard
Does he know your dogs names?
Or the fact that he can't claim

That he knows the scars on your legs
Still see them in my head
Like a map, up to you
When we climb into bed 
And I don't think that it's fair
That I can't lie with you there and use
My directions to get right there next to you. 

(Chorus repeat)
