Florida chords by Patty Griffin

CAPO 4

INTRO:
                  Em
La la la la la la la
                  C
La la la la la la la
                  Em
La la la la la la la
                  C
La la la la la la la la la

VERSE:
             G                       Em
Couple young girls went sailing down A1A
               C                      D
To the arms of Florida sailing down a highway
              Em                            C
Singing their heads off, tainted by the Holy Ghosts
                   G                           D
Flying in from the ocean, driving with their eyes closed

CHORUS:

    C              D         Em
The night wants to kiss you deep, and be on his way
C                D        G               D
Pretend he don't know you  the very next day
         C                        Em
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
                 C                D                  Em
How I still hang around here when there's nothing to hold me

VERSE:

               G                              Em
You slide down into the sea from twelve hours on your feet
                        C                         D
And get the tide to wash you away, thousands and thousands of days
                 Em                              C
And someone you never meet signs a check you get every week
                  G                                   D
You try and still can't forget all the strangers that you have met

CHORUS:

    C              D       Em
The night never owed you nothing anyway
C                      D                G          D
Makes promises that he never intends to keep every day
         C                        Em
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
                 C                D                  Em
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me

BRIDGE:

C                D                    Em
Every time every year the travelers come and go
                                C
You see them landing with their pale wings
                       D
And flying back to the snow


VERSE: (Same Chords)


And the summer comes marching in with his heavy boots on
Kicking along the blacktopped sidewalks of A1A
The young girls in their bare feet, cigarettes smoking
Looking every which way, wishing and a'hoping


CHORUS:

And you want the night just to let you sleep and be on his way
Wrap you up in some cool sheets and have nothing to say
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me
         C                        Em
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
                 C                D                  Em       C
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me

                  Em
La la la la la la la
                  C         D
