Chords for James McMurtry - You Got To Me (eTown webisode #818)

[Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ I can't remember, it seemed like, [G] because I know I was here solo in 92, and [D] I remember
playing Candyland with the house band and the drummer coming up five minutes before
the song saying, tempo, tempo, count it.
[G] Okay, it was real [C] fast.
[G] [C] But I counted it off [G] and he still had it five minutes later.
I think I [C] came back [G] sometime in [C] the mid-90s and played with my [D] own band.
[G] I'm not sure what that would have sounded like at that [C] time, because I did [D] not know
how to front a band.

_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] The world in my hip pockets, [D] the subway token in [G] my hand, _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ you got to me.
_ _ [C] _ _ They [G] got candlelight and a reggae band, [C] [Em] champagne by the bucket [G] load, limos lined up down the
curb [D] to take us where we need [G] to go.
I need to go somewhere I've been [C] to find the place I lost the [G] trail way back then,
so long ago.
[D] I don't suppose you even [G] know you got to me.
_ _ [Em] Brought [D] all this empty [G] down on top of me, _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ [G] and you got to me.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] We danced between the snowflakes falling, [C] _ shipping on the cobblestones [G] and the trolley tracks.
We had it all [D] in Christmas break.
[G] Your roommate's gone, we stoked the fire and let it burn, [C] until the embers glowed in the morning light.
[G] Trusting the tangle of skin on [D] skin, I've not known quite that feeling [G] since you got to me.
_ _ [C] Brought [G] all this empty down on top of me.
_ [C] I [G] didn't know, but we were not to be, _ [C] but I [D] know a thing or [G] two now.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
Wedding parties raging, yes, [C] the old and desperate misbehave.
[G] The limo smells like cocaine [D] sweat, cheap cologne and [G] aftershave, and it's got to be
one of these row house [C] doors.
I knew the number long ago.
[G] I step out on the curb, [D] tell the driver just go on and go.
[G] She got to me.
_ _ [Em] Brought [G] all this empty down on top of me.
_ _ [C] I [G] didn't know, but we were not to be, _ but I [D] know a thing or [G] two now.
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _

_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ The paper boy wants to smoke, [C] leans his back [G] against a tree.
And he's tired and cold and broke [D] and he don't know what to make of [G] me.
Standing here in my three piece suit, [C] standing here just like I am, with [G] my vest unbuttoned
and my necktie loose, [D] impervious to all [G] abuse.
And you got to me.
_ _ [C] [G] Brought all this empty down on top of me.
_ _ I found [D] a thousand [G] dollar out of seat.
_ [C] And I know [D] a thing or two [G] now. _
_ [C] Yeah, I know [D] a thing [G] or two now. _
_ [C] Yeah, [D] I know a thing or [G] two now. _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
