Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
My heart
skipped a beat
when I read the invitation
Am 
An old friend I hadn't seen
since graduation's
A 
getting married
G 
D 
California, can you come?
I knew she'd be there,
so for my own good
Am 
I tried to  avoid it
G 
But there she stood, bridesmaid,
D 
flowers, pink dress, beautiful
Em 
After too much wine
and a little catchin' up
G 
about the good old days
Em 
She broke down and said, let me go
G 
Was the biggest mistake
she'd ever made
A 
Bm

San Jose to Birmingham

It took a long time
G

Gotta clear my  head and try

To forget us
D 
G 
D 
G 
Maybe by Memphis
D 
It's a lonely stretch of interstate 40
Am 
With a long forgotten memory
Keeping me company
G 
Questions, wondering
D 
Could have been, can it still be?
And the thought creeps in
And it's tempting to turn
Am 
If I can make it past Graceland
G 
D 
That bridge will be burned
Am 
G 
Just a few more hours
I swear I'll be
D 
Home free
Bm 
G 
But it's a long way from
D 
those days to Birmingham
A 
Bm 
It took a   long time
G 
D 
A 
to get my heart to where I am
C 
As the cinchin' winds
G 
and the miles roll by
Gm 
Gotta clear my  head and
D 
Em 
try to forget us
G 
And maybe by a  minute
D 
Bm 
D 
G

and fourth
Bm 
Maybe by a   minute
E 
G 
and a fourth
Bm

Yeah, it's such a long way
D 
From those days of Birmingham
A 
Bm 
It took a   long time
G

As ascension winds and miles roll by

Gotta clear my  head and
D 
Em

Em 
try to forget us

Maybe  by men false
D
