Tune to Eb Intro | Am | F | G | C |
Am Well, the car broke down in a one stop town F Just before he's 'bout to turn around G C Not a single city limit sign to see where he's at
Am When you're out that far you're only options are F Getting gone in the town dive bar G C And if you knew him you'd know he's good at that
Am G C Well he was looking for peace with every new drink that he'd start F But the words that made him leave E E7 Stuck with him like a scar
Am She said "When I'm with you, life spins around F I can feel us flying so don't look down G C Won't you hold my hand real tight so you don't drop me?" Am F G C She said "There ain't a better time to decide if you want me."
Am F Well that bartender saw him and those 11 empty shot glasses So he went and started guessing G C What it was that was tearing him apart
Am Well the man said listen my story is kinda different F Pay close attention 'cause you might not get it G C But let's just say it was trouble from the start
Am G She told me that she loved me C And I should feel so blessed F But the thought of hurting that girl E E7 Scares me half to death
Am He said "When I'm with her life spins around F I can feel us flying but I weigh her down G C If she's got me she'll never get where she needs to go Am F G C She may not see that now but one day she'll know."
Am Well the girl back home found that note F Tears started staining all the words he wrote G C While he was tryin' to get that old Ford on the road
Am She read his words again and again F He broke her heart with truck keys and a pen G C But she'll keep this letter 'til she's old
Am G/B Well I'll just talk to God C And we feel this is best F Trust me if I didn't love you E E7 Or I'da never left
Am F Truck got fixed Note got flipped G C The breakdown's over but another's setting in Am F And they said hang a left G E 16 will take you west
Am But as the years went by life spun back 'round F He's on the knee the last one never found G C Soon there'll be diamond ring and wedding bells
Am But she still has nights where her eyes don't close F Breaking down by her porch window G C Hoping some way somehow she can wish him well
Am G And he's all alone C And nobody knows where F But if he listens real close E E7 He still hears her in the air
