Key of Gb, messy but chord progressions are correct
C Cbm
Hey brother
Fbm
get yourself together
Am C
Don't you wait
C Cbm
Can't you see
Fbm
I'm waiting in the shadows
Am C
to take your place
Am
There is a chance
Cbm C
that I'd keep trying
Fbm
to tell you the truth,
F C
would end up lying to you
CHORUS
G D
You said you were late
Cbm C
and I planned my escape
G D
Such a happy thing
Cbm C
just another one of my mistakes
G D
So you held your breathe
Cbm C
and you cursed the west
G D
said you had no choice
Cbm C
You're moving back east where men are men
Your mother
never found a reason
to hesitate
Now your waiting
For a warmer welcome
in coldest days
CHORUS
Fbm
Love's got no border
D
why don't you feel free
Cbm
to cross my state line
C Cbm Fbm
and bring yourself to me?
Fbm
It's a hell of a struggle
D
Been grounded for years
Cbm
Words that I use up to
C
oh for lonely ears
CHORUS
