Please visit the AltCountryTab.com website!!!
I F>put on that sweater you C>gave me
I Am>woke up in the kitchen a G>few minutes later
I F>didn't know how I had C>gotten there
Did you G>guide me?
I F>didn't make it to your C>funeral
I didn't want Am>ritual or G>resign
I just F>wanted to hold C>hands with
F>J.P and C>Mary-Jo
But I F>couldn't conjure C>tears
We're too Am>good for stupid G>angels
Mike just F>held his breath C>beside me
And burned the F>air 'til it was C>gone
'Til it was F>goneC>
'Til it was F>goneG>
-1-------0-------1-------0-------1-------0-------3---- ( a bass riff is played which
-1-------1-------1-------1-------1-------1-------0---- can be replicated by doing
-2-2-0---0-------2-2-0---0-------2-2-0---0-------0---- something like this on one
-3-----3-2---0-2-3-----3-2---0-2-3-----3-2-------0---- guitar... this riff also
-3-------3-3-----3-------3-3-----3-------3-3-2-0-2-0-2 happens over the Hoo-hoos

F>Hooo-oh -- C>Hoo Hooo
F>Hooo C>ahhhhh
F>Hooo-oh - C>Hoo Hoo G>hoo
Couldn't F>pay my respects to a C>dead man
Your Am>life was much more to G>me
And I F>chased away with C>sticks and stones
But that F>rage kept following C>me
Following F>meC>
Following F>meG>
So F>lost I would sleep in the C>palms of your hands
In Am>dreams we were happy and G>safe
I F>can't comprehend the C>ways that I miss you
They come to F>light in my misC>takes
In my misF>takesC>
In my misF>takesG>
Now I'm F>driving down Em>Tacoma WayG>
And C>the world turns in slow F>motion
It's the C>twilight of our G>old home
And I'm F>still in G>love with C>you
Oh F>here on South Em>Tacoma WayG>
C>We've memories for F>matinees
And the Am>tears come warm and G>heavy
And the F>cross-streets G>bear your C>name
Oh the F>cross-streets G>bear your C>name
