[D]
Thanks very much.
This is a tune that, this was the first song I wrote when I moved back to Nashville about two years ago.
It's called Lipstick Sunset.
[G] There's a lipstick [D] sunset smeared [A] [G] across the August sky.
[A] There's a bed of sweet perfume [B] hanging in the fields.
And the [A] creek is running high.
And [G] I left [D] my lover waiting [F#] in the [B] dawn somewhere to [E] wonder why.
By the [D] end of the day, all her [G] sweet dreams would fade [A] to a lipstick [D] sunset.
[A] [D] And the radio was playing, and that old [C] summer he was on the rise.
[D] [A] I just had to get [D] away before [B] some sad old song [A] brought more tears to my eyes.
And [D] Lord, I couldn't tell her [F#] that her [B] love was only [Bm] killing [E] me.
By the [D] end of the day, all her [G] sweet dreams would fade [A] to a [D] lipstick sunset.
You tell her, [G] sonny,

[D] [G] [A]
[D] [A] in as pretty [D] as a picture, [A] red and [G] blushing just before the night.
[A] Maybe love's like that for me.
Maybe [Bm] I can only see, [A] she'd take away the light.
[G] So [D] hold me in the dark, man.
[F#] We can [Bm] dream about the cool [E] twilight.
Till the end [D] of the day, when I can make my getaway [A] to a [D] lipstick sunset.
[E] [G] Till the [D] end of the day, when I can make [G] my getaway [A] to a [D] lipstick sunset.
[E] [G] Oh, there'll come [D] another day, when I'll make [G] my getaway [A] to a lipstick [D] sunset.
