_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
And _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] I'm never in my [Dm] life before again. _ _
_ _ And it's my heart and I _ _ _ [F] _ can't hide it.
[Am] At a rich _ [F] conclusion, _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
watching me
today leads to another _ [D] day.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And the tilt of the [C] _ strange _ _ _ _ nation
and the wealth you've [F] made for the new [C] _ generation, _ _
waving the [Am] flags.
I _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
bump on a bump on a log, oh baby,
like I'm in [G] a fistfight with the fall, oh baby,
step on a _ [Am] change and a few.
_ _ _ _ _ And [C] I, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I'll _ _ _ [G] say to you, honey, just open [Em] your heart.
[Dm] I've got _
[F] _ _ [C] a job _ _ and that right there is a way. _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ And I've been fast and [F] I do the fast,
[Am] addressing _ _ _ questions [F] _
_ nobody asked.
I'll [C] get this joy off of my chest
and [G] I will love you till [F] the noise is [D] long since passed.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] And I did not mean [F] to shout, just drive,
just [Am] get _ [C] accepted, _ _ only lie.
The [C] road's too long to mention, not a soul to [G] see.
Laid down by the good intentions, [Dm] baby, come. _
_ _ _ _ In the weight of the [C] thing we've been playing at, darlin',
I can see that [F] you're wearing the stain, _ _ [C] _ darlin'.
And the time [Am] being on its way, _ _ _ _ won't you love me [Bb] _
_ still? _ _ _ _
This is blindness _ [C] beyond _ _ all conceiving.
_ _ Well, behind us the road is leading, [F] leaving, _ falling [Am] _ back
_ _ _ _ _ like a broken _ [Bb] _ _ slab.
[C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] And I saw [D] straight away that the lay was [Dm] safe,
but I fell for you, honey, _ easiest [C] falling asleep. _
_ _ That right there is the coast [G] again.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[C] And the road of [Am] talking _ is gonna [F] soften the [C] fall,
_ but like _ [Bb] any _ _ [F] step _ of [G] the old man,
[Am] it _
[C] _ _ had a nice [Am]
ring to it when the [F] old opera house [C] _ rang.
So with this [Bb] _
song, _ old _ _ Langside seal [G] delivered, I [Am] sang. _ _
[C] _ _ And there is _ _
[Am] hesitation and it _ [F] _ always _ [C] remains concern.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C]
And the [D] rest of the game, [Am] _ _
_ [C] _ in a quiet _
[A] hour,
I feel I [F] see _ everything.
[C] _ And I'm in [Bb] love _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ upon which [G] everyone _ hangs.
[Am] _ _
_ And [C] I know you meant to show [Am] the extent to which [F] you gave it.
[C] God _ dang, you range real [Bb]
hot and real cold,
but [F] I'm _ at [C] home [D] on that _ range.
[Am] And I do _ [Bb] _ _ right _
[F] _ _ _ here at [G] the top of my room
_ [Am] when I've been trying [Bb] with my whole heart
_ [F] _ to stay [G] right here in the right [Am] place.
But it can make you feel [Bb] over and [F] over.
_ _ _ _ [G] Lord, you know it's a shame when [Am] I only
want for you to pull [D] over _ _ _ _
[F] _ me _ [G] till I can't remember
when I'm on my own.
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
