Props to Abe who helped me out a bit <3.

Not a 100% sure but it sounds pretty ok. Also not sure about the song title, it's new
and I recorded it at a concert and really couldn't see the chords.

Welcome to all comments so I can correct. Thanks <3.

               E              E/C#                  A              B7     There are times I cannot speak your name but I catch it in my throat
            E                 E/C#             A            B7     And if I don't sing this song it's out of fear of sour notes             (not sure
if that's 'of' OR 'or')

	  E           E/C#       A            B7     Oh I feel like a miser Oh I feel low and mean
          E              E/C#            A               B7     For accusing you of stealing what I offered you for free
           E           E/C#                  A                 B7     Oh it beggars the belief sometimes what thieves we lovers be

                E             E/C#              A              B7     And if you are I hope he treats you like a lover ought to do
         E                 E/C#           A             B7     But whoever makes you happy it don't really matter who

                E           E/C#               A                B7     Praise the fonder that still grows on the absent heart and fields
