Florida Chords by Patty Griffin

La la la la la la [Abm] la la la la la la [E] la _ la la la [Abm] la la la la la [E] la la la la la la la la a couple [B] of young girls when
Sailing [Abm] down A1A
To the [E] arms of Florida
[Gb] Sailing down the highway _
[Abm] Singing their heads off
_ [E] Protected by the Holy Ghost
Flyin' [B] in from the ocean
_ [Gb] Drivin' with their eyes closed _
[E] And I'd [Gb] want to kiss [Abm] you, baby
Be on his way
[E] Pretend he don't know [B] you
The very [Gbm] next day
Isn't [E] it hard sometimes?
Isn't [Abm] it lonely?
How I [E] still hang around here
[Gb] There's nothing [Abm] to hold me
You slide [B] down into the sea
Twelve [Abm] hours on your feet
Get the tide to [E] wash you away
Thousands [Gb] and thousands of days
Someone [Abm] you never meet
Signs that check you [E] get every week
You try and [B] still can't forget
All the strangers [Gb] that you've met _ _
[E] And I'd never [Db] hold you
[Abm] Nothing
Anyway _
[E] Breaks promises and it never intends [B] to keep [Gb] Every day
Isn't [E] it hard sometimes?
Isn't [Abm] it lonely?
How I [E] still hang around here
[Gb] There's [Abm] nothing to hold me _ _
[E] Every time, [Gb] every year
The [Abm] travelers come and go
You see them lay [E] with their pale wings
Flyin' [Gb] back to the snow
And the summer [B] comes marchin' in
With his [Abm] heavy boots on
Kickin' [E] along the blacktop
_ [Gb] Sidewalks of 818
Young girls and [Abm] their bare feet
_ [E] Cigarettes smokin'
Lookin' [B] every which way
Wishin' [Gb] and hopin'
And you [E] open up just to [Gbm] let you [Abm] sleep
Be on his way _
[E] Grab you up in some cool sheets
[B] Have nothing [Gb] to say
Isn't [E] it hard sometimes?
[Abm] Isn't it lonely?
How [E] I still hang around [Gb] here
There's [Abm] nothing to hold me _
[E] Isn't it hard sometimes?
[Abm] Isn't it lonely? _
How I still [E] hang around here
[Gbm] There's nothing [Abm] to hold me _
_ [E] _ _ La la la [Abm] la la la _ _
_ [B] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
