Kris Delmhorst - Damn Love Song


CAPO: 5th Fret


          C                      G/B
How can I carve your name in the trunk of a tree
        Am                       F
That'll be here long after we're gone?
        C                    G/B          F       G
I can't even write it in the steam on the mirror
         C                     G/B
And with nobody listening, not even myself
        Am            F    G
It's as much as I can do
                 E7            Am
To whisper those words in your ear

CHORUS:
      G                   C
After all of these years, look at me here
       G                     C
With a love song stuck in my throat
        G                         C            E7            Am  G
Got the weight of the world on my shoulders, I won't let it go


          C                      G/B
How can I dive right down in the deep blue sea
    Am                        F
And still hope to find my way home?
       C             G/B        F       G
When I stumble on my way to the shore
         C                                G/B
And when all of the airplanes, all of the cars
            Am            F      G
And all the miles in the world
                   E7                        Am
Are sometimes not enough to quite reach your door


CHORUS:
      G                            C
After all of these years, will you look at me here
       G                     C
With a love song stuck in my throat
        G                               C            E7           Am
Got the weight of the world and there's not too much else I can hold


BRIDGE:
G                  F           C
What if my chances run out someday
G                       C
Life's not my batting machine?
G                         C         E          Am     G    F   G
What if it stops throwing pitches before I hit one clean?


          C              G/B
How can I lie beside you night after night
    Am                       F        C
And pick at the lock on your heart?
           G/B       F     G
Never once opened my own
           C                         G/B
'Cause the last time it got free, it just cut and run
       Am                   F
Like a stray out in the street
       G                 E7                      Am
And it took about all I had just to make it come home


CHORUS:
      G                       C
After all these years, is the time drawing near
       G                       C
When a love song flies from my throat?
      G                          C            E7          Am    F
Can I lay down the weight of the world by the side of the road___
                           G                     Am    F
Lay down the weight of the world and call myself home___
                           G        C   G  C
