G+G            D MajorD        G+G
From the sky we look so organized and brave
Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD       G+G
Walls that make up barricades and graves
Cadd9Cadd9        D MajorD       G+G         E minorEm
Daddy's little empire built by hands and built by slaves
Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD       G+G
From the sky we look so organized and brave


VERSE:
G+G           D MajorD        G+G
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
Cadd9Cadd9          D MajorD       G+G
Drunken tears and tugging at your skirt
Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD        G+G       E minorEm
If only you could tell me then what part of you got hurt
Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD        G+G
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt

CHORUS:
E minorEm   G+G        Cadd9Cadd9  G+G
Take my hand, baby we're over land
    E minorEm     G+G        D MajorD
I know flying over water makes you cry
       E minorEm   G+G
Where's that liquor cart?
     Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
Maybe we shouldn't start
E minorEm         G+G        D MajorD
But I can't for the life of me say why


VERSE:
G+G             D MajorD          G+G
From the sky the highway's straight as it could be
Cadd9Cadd9           D MajorD       G+G
A augmentedA string pulled tight from home to Tennessee
  Cadd9Cadd9        D MajorD        G+G       E minorEm
And still somehow those ditches took the better part of me
G+G             D MajorD          G+G
From the sky the highway's straight as it could be


CHORUS:
E minorEm    G+G        Cadd9Cadd9  G+G
Take my hand, baby we're over land
    E minorEm     G+G        D MajorD
I know flying over water makes you cry
         E minorEm    G+G
We've been in the sky so long
        Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
It seems like a long way home
E minorEm         G+G        D MajorD
But I can't for the life of me say why

BRIDGE:
E minorEm             G+G
Do we leave our love behind?
E minorEm             G+G
Did we leave our love behind?
E minorEm             G+G
Do we leave our love behind?
E minorEm             G+G
Did we leave our love behind?


CHORUS:
E minorEm    G+G        Cadd9Cadd9  G+G
Take my hand, baby we're over land
    E minorEm     G+G        D MajorD
I know flying over water makes you cry
      E minorEm    G+G
Been in the sky so long
       Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
Seems like the long way home
E minorEm         G+G        D MajorD
But I can't for the life of me say why
E minorEm             G+G
Did we leave our love behind?
E minorEm             G+G
Did we leave our love behind?
