*[Verse 1]* 00:30
Chords: B♭maj7  Gm7  Cm7  F7
  B♭maj7
He left his jacket on my kitchen chair
  Gm7
Coffee cold, silence in the air
  Cm7
I lit a candle, but it wouldn’t glow
  F7
Some things you feel, even when you don’t know
  B♭maj7
I played the record that he used to hum
  Gm7
Same old song, but the rhythm gone numb
  Cm7
If love’s a flame, mine burned too long
  F7
Now I’m singin’ heartache in a Southern song

Chords: B♭maj7  Gm7  Cm7  F7
    B♭maj7
A woman like me, loves too deep
    Gm7
Stays too long, cries in her sleep
    Cm7
Gives all her fire, never complains
    F7
But the rain still finds her windowpane
    B♭maj7
A woman like me, dreams in gold
    Gm7
Wears her heart like a vintage coat
    Cm7
But even strong hearts, they got seams
    F7
That tear in the silence between the screams


*[Verse 2]* – [Spoken/Sung delivery | Strings begin to swell subtly] 02:13
  B♭maj7
He said I was “too much for a man to hold”
  Gm7
Like jazz at midnight, like fire in the cold
  Cm7
I ain’t sorry for the way I shine
  F7
If loving me scared you, boy, that fault ain’t mine
  B♭maj7
He packed his pride, left me with grace
  Gm7
But I still see him in my mirror’s face
  Cm7
This ain’t a goodbye, this ain’t revenge
  F7
It’s just a story with no "the end"


*[Chorus 2]* – Full band | Horn section adds swells, strings double the harmony] 03:13
    B♭maj7
A woman like me, loves too deep
    Gm7
Stays too long, cries in her sleep
    Cm7
Gives all her fire, never complains
    F7
But the rain still finds her windowpane
    B♭maj7
A woman like me, walks in truth
    Gm7
Fights like thunder, soft like youth
    Cm7
She don’t need fixing, don’t need to be tamed
    F7
She just needs someone who says her name

You lost a diamond in your hands

Now I shine where I stand

She don’t beg, she don’t plead

She just loves, she just bleeds
    B♭maj7
A woman like me, stands so tall
    Gm7
Knows her worth, even when she falls

So if you ever come back to see

Don’t forget... what you lost... in me
