🎸 Intro:

E    A

E



🎸 Verse 1:
  E                        A
About six hours on the inner state
                                  E
It's not too far if it's not too late
                            A
Said it's alright, it will be ok
                                 E
I'll be there when you need me, babe
                             A
Coz I got more love than a heart can take
                                 E
But you know me I can't stay in one place
                           A
And all good things are soon to change
E

The sun will rise, and the moon will sing

🎸 Chorus:
        A     B
So you stayed up
C#m        B/Eb
Up on the telephone
 A          B       C#m        B/Eb
Singin' me songs so I wouldn't feel alone
      A    B
You stayed up
C#m       B/Eb
Up on the telephone
 A         B           C#m               B/Eb
Giving me hope when I thought that there was none

🎸 Interlude:
E    A

🎸 Verse 2:
  E                     A
About six months and a week or so
                              E
Tried so hard just to stay afloat
                             A
The money's good when the season's right
E
But the rain falls heavy on those winter nights
                     A
I've been afraid, oh no I can't lie
                           E
To navigate them changing tides
                          A
But it's six hours on the inner state
                              E
To where you are but I can't wait

🎸 Chorus:
        A     B
So you stayed up
C#m        B/Eb
Up on the telephone
 A          B       C#m        B/Eb
Singin' me songs so I wouldn't feel alone
      A    B
You stayed up
C#m       B/Eb
Up on the telephone
 A         B           C#m               B/Eb
Giving me hope when I thought that there was none

🎸 Outro:
     E                   A
She turned sixteen 'bout a month ago
                                            E
You should see her now just how much she's grown
                             A
But you wait for me way up in the sky
                                          E
Where we can drink all day and dance all night
                       A
Like an old song or melody
                                        E
Your words are something that I keep in me
                          A
But it's six hours on the inner state
I think I'll go maybe one day
