Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Well I am your secret, babe

Watch me unfold

Dancing in these streets so late

And nobody knows

Nobody knows us

 The first time I looked at you

You looked at me

Swimming in this water so cool

Just like a river queen

Just like a river queen

 And I don't remember falling asleep

Must have been holding on tight

And all I can think of and all I can dream

 Is dancing with you at red lights

The sunshine state is closed

Look at the water on the road

And I'm gonna get in my boat

And to you I will float

And to you I will float

(chorus)

(first verse)

Well you can tell Georgia that you were out there in my arms last night

 And I was holding you like you were mine, and you can tell Georgia any time

And you can tell Georgia that my thinking is clear

 And I been thinking that I need you near, and you can tell Georgia I was here

Oh you can tell Georgia I was here

"Am I waking you up?"

 Said to me, "Am I waking you up?"

 Said to me, "Am I waking you up?"

 You said to me, "Am I waking you up, dear?"

 I said, "No"

And you can tell Georgia, if I see him around, Honey I'm gonna knock him down

 Oh everyone be down, oh if you see him again, Oh you can tell Georgia where I am

Oh you can tell Georgia where I am

(chorus)

You can tell Georgia any time

(x2)

 There's a hole in the roof for the stars to fall in, I gather them up for you

 Fill up my pockets, start walking again, I got these worn-out shoes

I got these worn-out shoes

I got these worn-out shoes

 There's a hole in my pocket for the stars to fall out, and I lose them one at a time

 And I didn't notice when they hit the ground, the devil was three steps behind

 The devil was three steps behind

 The devil was three steps behind me

(x2)

 There's a hole in the earth where the devil he stays, and he asked if I could come too

 So I grabbed my stars and I put them away, I said I was just passing through

 Said I was just passing through

I was just passing through here

(x2)

 There's a hole in the roof for the stars to fall in, I gather them up for you

 Fill up my pockets, start walking again, Bringing these stars to you

Bringing these stars to you

Bringing these stars to you

(x2)

 I looked out my window this morning

 And I saw the strangest thing

 Everyone was walking on water, and dancing in the rain

 Oh and darling I got so jealous

 Just wishing you were here with me

 And I saw the prettiest people, they were kissing in the street

 They didn't care who was watching, in the middle of the street

 They didn't care who was watching

 But I can see blue in the sky when it's raining

 And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining

 And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining

 Raining on me, and I'm waiting on you

 Just sitting here watching the weather

 And I can feel the air's getting colder

 They say that sometimes the sunshine at the party, well she's the first one to go

 She doesn't give any warning, she just gets up and goes

She doesn't give any warning

(chorus)

 Oh what would you do if I showed up

 On your doorstep just ready to go?

 Would you send me away, would you come out and play?

 It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today

 It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today

(chorus)

Intro

I just can't seem to get it right today

I just can't seem to get it right today

I just can't seem to get it right today

I guess I'm gonna give up

 Oh, I guess I'm gonna give up

It's nearly been a year since he's been gone

We still sing his good-bye songs

 The Mrs. knows she should move on

But she just can't let him go

 No, she just can't let him go

I'm sorry if I made you wanna cry

I'm sorry if I made you wanna cry

 But you know I never meant to hide

I just hate bringing you down

 Oh, I just hate bringing you down

I just can't seem to get it right today

I just can't seem to get it right today

I just can't seem to get it right today

I guess I'm gonna give up

 Oh, I guess I'm gonna give up

 Instrumental , , , , , , , , , , ,

And I drop my paintbrush in the dirt

Still reminds me just how much it hurt

 I cut my hand, wait for it to work

But I just couldn't bring him back

 No, I just couldn't bring him back

I just can't seem to get it right today

 Oh, I just can't seem to get it right today

I just can't seem to get it right today

I guess I'm gonna give up

I guess I'm gonna give up

Repeat until end

Well you stay with me, in the balcony,

 And we'll sink in our seas as the people all leave

And we can hide out as the curtain comes down

 And then fall asleep to the sleeping sound

When the morning is drawing near

I'll see if the coast is clear

Green eyes are better than blue

 I ain't trying to be mean, just telling the truth

It's enough to make me run away with you

 Darling green eyes are better than blue

She says, "This isn't easy, you know

Loving the hands that you ain't supposed to hold

 And I pray for the days when I won't sleep alone"

She says, "This isn't easy, you know"

(chorus)

Well Johnny says don't bring her down

'Cause when the pedestal crumbles and falls to the ground

 You will wish that you left her the way that you'd found her

Now Johnny says don't bring her down

(chorus)

 Well I saw you in the water last night

 You were smiling at me as you slipped out of sight

 When I woke from my dream I was screaming for life

 'Cause I saw you in the water last night

(chorus)

Darling I been down and out ever since you left town

Well I ain't been the same, no matter how I try

Sometimes we don't get to choose, the ones who wear the walking shoes

I'm just a poor boy with the blues, no that ain't nothing new

Chorus

I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup, I'm gonna pick me some banjo up

I'm gonna play with the Tragedies, singing good time harmonies

B. Wright don't you let me down, play that one called Sad Clown,

You know that one's about me, I been thinking about leaving town

Interlude

Well sunshine she came out today, it don't matter anyways

'Cause I still see the water, and it's dripping down my door

I used to hear the children play, I used to hear the birds sing

One day they just stopped, and I don't hear them anymore

Repeat Chorus!

Oh and I got caught in this whistling wind, doing my best to regret these sins

Lord would you forgive me if you knew I'm gonna do it again?

And it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's just that I'm not strong

'Cause when that woman looks at me I can't remember right from wrong

Repeat Chorus, overlap lyrics and get loud!

[G/f#] [G/f#] (x2)

[G/f#] [G/f#]

Ain't no use in riding on a train

  [G/f#] [G/f#]

[G/f#]

Ain't no use in riding on a train, on a train

[G/f#] [G/f#] (x2)

[G/f#] [G/f#]

[G/f#] [G/f#]

Honey we're gonna be together one of these days

 I don't care what they do, it don't matter what they say

  [G/f#]

'Cause we're gonna be together one of these days, one of these days

(first verse)

(x2, but end with D instead of A on the second time)

Baby's been tired, got no rest

She boards a plane with a smile

I saw her last night with her head on my chest

Singing it'll be good if you wait for a while

Sweet angel, fly away till

This dirty city is clean on sight

And call me sweet dear, when you get there,

And rest your head on shy town tonight

Well ...times, it's getting you down

I can make you smile, it's the one worst clown

And I can sing you a song, I can send you along

Another will be waiting when you touch down

(chorus)

Look at the river that runs through the city

Look at the buildings that run through the sky

Rest your head down on your pillow

And I will be waving as you pass by

(chorus)

Today was a good day, was better than most

 Didn't see me no demons, didn't fight with no ghosts

 Baby maybe we haven't gone crazy after all

 There's only four seasons but even the best ones fall

 She says, "Hold me up darling, 'cause I can't see straight

 Been drinking again, and staying up late

 Hope you'll understand that it's just that time of year

 There's only four seasons but these feelings are always here

And I haven't been here since I don't know when

 But things sure look different than they did back then

They're colder now, you say that's just the way that it goes

 But true friends they don't change every time that the wind blows

We been at this party a little too long

 I ain't putting it down, Honey don't get me wrong

 I just think it's time to be moving towards the door

 'Cause there's only four seasons, and I'm looking for something more

 So let's pack our bags, get out of this town

Head up the coast where the wind knocks you down

 Where the people you know are the people you thought that you knew

 There's only four seasons and I guess we'll be leaving soon

Sally wake up you don't have to pretend anymore

'Cause while you were sleeping I drove us to someplace the weather will always be warm

We can go outside and bury our faces in the sun

 There's no need to worry 'cause no one will ask us where it is that we came from

 We can walk on Main Street, dance in these honky tonk bars

No one will know who we are

Well you like the water so much you could be a fish

We're right by the ocean so you can go dipping any old time that you wish

We'll watch the sunset, make love in the old lifeguard stand

When the setting is done and we've lost the sun we will nap on a blanket upstairs

 We can walk on water, dance in the light of the moon

Honey, just me and you

We'll wake to a restaurant with fancy napkins and plates

We'll watch the old man as he walks to the big white piano and sits down and plays

The maitre d' calls me lucky as he pours our wine

What a beautiful girl and I know in this world that the good ones are so hard to find

 We can walk on red carpet, dance to our favorite songs

We can stay all night long

Sally wake up, you don't have to pretend any more

'Cause while you were sleeping I drove us to someplace the weather will always be warm

END!!! ENJOY!
