The Difference Chords by Buffalo Nichols

[Intro]

G  C  
D  G
 
 
[Verse]

     G               C                
When it came time to write your story, 
D           Em
I was barely   mentioned
D      G             C             
Just a minor role, a place you'd go
      D7
 when you needed attention
    G             C              
But if I'm just a rest stop for 
     D         Em
your soul, I'll    let it be
D         G              
Because I just don't know 
    C 
the difference between 
D            G
love and company
 
 
[Chorus]

        C        
And the sun don't 
       G 
always shine on me but 
Em               D
I know that it's there
             C         
And it don't care if 
   G 
we live or die but 
    Em               D
the light is ours to share
         C         
And it's only you  
       G 
who is bleeding but 
    Em           C
the pain is mine   to bear
    G               C             
And I'm too weak to even speak or 
D             G      C D G
ask you to be   fair
 
 
[Verse]

     G                C              
When it comes time to write my story 
D                Em
you'll get your own chapter
D    G                C   
I'll tell the tale of how 
           D7
I fell and landed in disaster
    G              C    
And you can be the hero 
      D           Em
who comes to rescue me
D       G                
Cause I just don't know 
    C 
the difference between 
D             G
love and sympathy
 
 
[Chorus]

        C                G               
And the sun don't always shine on me but 
Em               D
I know that it's there
             C          G           
And it don't care if we live or die 
        Em               D
but the light is ours to share
         C         
And it's only you 
       G 
who is bleeding but 
    Em           C
the pain is mine   to bear
    G               C             
And I'm too weak to even speak or
 D          G
 ask you to be   fair
 
 
[Bridge]

Em      D         C
  And I never complained
       Em            D   
But it didn't mean I was 
   C
incapable of feeling pain  
Em      D              C
  And I stayed in my place
  Em               D         
I knew you were no good but 
         C            D     N.C.
you'd be so hard to replace
 
 
[Verse]

         G               C            
Well, it must be time to end this story 
    D                 Em
for you have sprouted wings
D    G             C         
I'll go back to my solitude - 
       D7
you'll go find better things
    G                  C        
But if you should grow tired on  
    D             Em
the road that lies   ahead
  G                 C           
I hope you won't forget the one 
    D             G
who kept your ego   fed
 
 
[Chorus]

        C                               
And the sun don't always 
G
shine on me but 
Em               D
I know that it's there
             C      
And it don't care if  
   G 
we live or die 
        Em               D
but the light is ours to share
         C               G           
And it's only you who is bleeding but  
    Em           C
the pain is mine   to bear
    G                   C             
And we're both weak but I at least am 
D             G        C D G
somewhat self aware
 
 
[Outro]
