Key: D Intro: D Verse 1: D Leave the waves of Galveston but only if you can G Em D 'Cause you've been hid behind the seawall, gently folded in the sand D Papa left you for Heaven after your Mama lost her song G Em D And though your baby left you for Houston, no one stays there very long Verse 2: D There's a graveyard by the pizza parlor, a gate that only closes G Em D Snowbirds fly away like secrets no one really wants to know D The climbing moon's always shining on the kind of shells you keep G Em D A The broken horse tied to the water tower's running in his sleep
Chorus: G Gm D Em7 A It's too bad that you ain't got a soft place to fall G Gm D Em7 A It's too bad Texas leans to the least of us all D G D And says, “If you can make the music then you can have the dance G D G D If you can shoot the pistol then you can wear the pants” Interlude: D G D G D G D G D Verse 3: D So leave the waves of Galveston but only if you can G Em D 'Cause it's the only place the Lone Star kind have offered you a hand D Your baby left you nothing but a dog she left for dead G Em D A You never knew you were a burden 'til it hit you on the head Chorus: G Gm D Em7 A It's too bad that you ain't got a soft place to fall G Gm D Em7 A It's too bad Texas leans to the least of us all D G D G D And says, “If you can make the music then you can have the dance G D G D G D G D If you can shoot the pistol then you can wear the pants” Outro: G D G D
