Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (D major) We were lying in a
truck bed by a creek,
she said this creek (A major) has a story
as (D major) bleak as (F sharp minor) sickly coyotes.
(D major) Whimper (F sharp minor) ing in the night,
(D major) or a flight (A major) in' rattlesnake
Writh (G major) in' (A major) but still with its bite (D major) (A major)
(D major) She said I spend most of
(F sharp minor) my time try (D major) in'
To keep (A major) this lovin' side from dyin'
(D major) My tired hand cupped (F sharp minor) around
(D major) a candle's flame
(A major) Wind blowing from (G major) (A major) a hurricane
(D major) So when I told the things
with me and Jennifer
Mov (A major) ing in a direction that upset her (D major)
She (F sharp minor) winced (D major) as from a horse
(B minor) kick to (D major) the kidneys
I am (A major) remembering her flower bed (G major)
(A major) Cluttered with (D major) bees (A major)
Jenny looked (F sharp minor) me in the
(B minor) eyes and she (G major) said
(A major) Honey,
(F sharp minor) why don't you come on (B minor) back (G major) to bed
Cause (E major) all my (F sharp minor) rest less heart
is finally (B minor) set tling (G major) in
Sometimes (F sharp minor) I want (B minor) us back
To all (A major) the places it has (D major) been (A major) (D major)
We were lyin' on rotten floorboards
in a barn
She said this (A major) barn has a story like its (D major) farm
Old times (B minor) chewed (D major) it up
(F sharp minor) And spit (D major) it out in the (A major) carcass of a barn
In a field (G major) (A major) of permanent drought (D major) (A major) (D major)
Black charred beams
held up (F sharp minor) a tottering hayloft
(D major) Her (A major) voice in my ear real (D major) soft
Oh, (F sharp minor) that was (D major) when she
Star (F sharp minor) ted to (D major) re cede amidst (A major) the thistle,
dandeli (G major) ons, (A major) and rag (D major) weed
Cow bones lay strewn across the floor
They must (A major) have lumbered
towards the burning barn's (D major) door
Drawn (B minor) by (D major) something, (F sharp minor) nodding like (D major) de sire,
I (A major) am remembering the flames
Red (G major) as (A major) an autumn spire (D major) (A major)
Jenny looked me (F sharp minor) in the
eyes (B minor) and she (G major) said
(A major) Honey, (F major) why don't you
(F sharp minor) come on (G major) back to bed
Cause (A major) all my (F sharp minor) rest less heart
is finally (B minor) set tling (G major) in
Sometimes (F sharp minor) it (B minor) wanders back
To all (A major) the places it has (D major) been
We were lying with grasshoppers on a hill
She said this (A major) hill has a story that (D major) will
Turn (F sharp minor) your heart inside (D major) out
Secrets (F sharp minor) tumbling (A major) to the (D major) grass
(A major) The fleeting sunlight cast (G major) us (A major) in a
dog (D major) brass. (A major) (D major)
Grasshoppers bit our skin while above,
gnats (A major) wheezed in a miasma of ladybugs.
(D major) As we sharpened the instruments
of (F sharp minor) love with our (D major) guilt, the
(A major) Surrounding wildflowers, (G major) brown,
in late (A major) autumnal wilt (D major) (A major) (D major)
The afternoon, (F sharp minor)
like (D major) a bull that had been fed
And then, (A major) too,
the slaughterhouse (D major) 's lead
Gave us a trembling kiss
As (F sharp minor) a souven (D major) ir,
I am (A major) remembering bales of hay (G major)
(A major) Swollen with tears (D major) (A major)
Jenny looked (D major) me (A major) in the
(B minor) eyes and she (G major) said
Hon (D major) ey, (F sharp minor) why don't you
(B minor) come on back (G major) to bed
Cause all (A major) my restless (E major) heart
(F sharp minor) is finally settling (G major) in
Sometimes (F sharp minor) it wanders (B minor) back
To all (A major) the places it has (D major) been
And we were lying on
pine needles by a pond
Said this pond (A major) has a story
that goes (D major) beyond
The two of (F sharp minor) (D major) us, encircled by (B minor) a rusty (D major) gate
Squir (A major) rels testing the branches
(G major) above (A major) us with their (D major) weight
Then with frozen hands she broke the ice
Sent the fragment (A major) s scurrying (D major) like mice
Her submerged (G major) (D major) legs
and mid -thigh turning pink
Spar (A major) rows panicked as (G major) she
(A major) started to sink (D major) (A major) (D major)
Water crept up her back,
the pond had inhaled
(A major) Swelling where she crouched down,
her skin so (D major) pale
Water heathened up,
her (F sharp minor) shoulders slim and (D major) narrow
I am (A major) remembering a flock of geese
(G major) Passed like way (A major) ward arrows (D major) (A major)
Jenny looked me in (B minor) the eyes and (G major) she said
Honey, (A major) why (G major) don't you come
(B minor) on back (G major) to bed
Cause oh, (A major) my restless heart
is finally settling (G major) in
Sometimes (F sharp minor) it wanders (B minor) back
To all (A major) the places it has (D major) been (A major) (D major)
