Kris Delmhorst - Damn Love Song
CAPO: 5th Fret
C majorC G/BG/B
How can I carve your name in the trunk of a tree
A minorAm FF
That'll be here long after we're gone?
C majorC G/BG/B FF G+G
I can't even write it in the steam on the mirror
C majorC G/BG/B
And with nobody listening, not even myself
A minorAm FF G+G
It's as much as I can do
E7E7 A minorAm
To whisper those words in your ear
CHORUS:
G+G C majorC
After all of these years, look at me here
G+G C majorC
With a love song stuck in my throat
G+G C majorC E7E7 A minorAm G+G
Got the weight of the world on my shoulders, I won't let it go
C majorC G/BG/B
How can I dive right down in the deep blue sea
A minorAm FF
And still hope to find my way home?
C majorC G/BG/B FF G+G
When I stumble on my way to the shore
C majorC G/BG/B
And when all of the airplanes, all of the cars
A minorAm FF G+G
And all the miles in the world
E7E7 A minorAm
Are sometimes not enough to quite reach your door
CHORUS:
G+G C majorC
After all of these years, will you look at me here
G+G C majorC
With a love song stuck in my throat
G+G C majorC E7E7 A minorAm
Got the weight of the world and there's not too much else I can hold
BRIDGE:
G+G FF C majorC
What if my chances run out someday
G+G C majorC
Life's not my batting machine?
G+G C majorC E MajorE A minorAm G+G FF G+G
What if it stops throwing pitches before I hit one clean?
C majorC G/BG/B
How can I lie beside you night after night
A minorAm FF C majorC
And pick at the lock on your heart?
G/BG/B FF G+G
Never once opened my own
C majorC G/BG/B
'Cause the last time it got free, it just cut and run
A minorAm FF
Like a stray out in the street
G+G E7E7 A minorAm
And it took about all I had just to make it come home
CHORUS:
G+G C majorC
After all these years, is the time drawing near
G+G C majorC
When a love song flies from my throat?
G+G C majorC E7E7 A minorAm FF
Can I lay down the weight of the world by the side of the road___
G+G A minorAm FF
Lay down the weight of the world and call myself home___
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
