G
  Woke up this morning

The house was cold

  Checked the furnace she wasn't burning
Em7
  Went out and hopped in my old Ford
D/F#
  Hit the engine but she ain't a turning
G

  Given each other some hard lessons lately
D/F#
  But we aren't learning
Em7        D/F#          G
  Same sad story thats a fact

  Once step up and two steps back

          G                         D/F#
Bird on a wire outside my motel room but he is not singing
Em7
  Girl in white outside a church in June
D/F#
  But the church bells they are not ringing
G
  Sitting here in this bar tonight
D/F#
  And all I'm thinkin' is
Em7                D/F#           G

  Another battle in our dirty little war

  When I look at myself I don't see the man I wanted to be

  Somewhere along the line I slipped off track

  There's a girl across the bar

I  get the message she's sending
Em7
  Mmm she ain't looking too married

  We well honey I pretended

  Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
D/F#
  The music was never ending

We danced as the evening sky faded to black
G                 A                G
