VERSE:
G                        D               G
From the sky we look so organized and brave
Cadd9                  D              G
Walls that make up barricades and graves
Cadd9               D              G                 Em
Daddy's little empire built by hands and built by slaves
Cadd9                   D             G
From the sky we look so organized and brave


VERSE:
G                     D                G
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
Cadd9                   D              G
Drunken tears and tugging at your skirt
Cadd9                  D               G             Em
If only you could tell me then what part of you got hurt
Cadd9                 D               G
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt

CHORUS:
Em      G                Cadd9   G
Take my hand, baby we're over land
       Em          G               D
I know flying over water makes you cry
             Em      G
Where's that liquor cart?
         Cadd9      G
Maybe we shouldn't start
Em                  G               D
But I can't for the life of me say why


VERSE:
G                          D                    G
From the sky the highway's straight as it could be
Cadd9                      D             G
A string pulled tight from home to Tennessee
    Cadd9                D               G              Em
And still somehow those ditches took the better part of me
G                          D                    G
From the sky the highway's straight as it could be


CHORUS:
Em       G               Cadd9   G
Take my hand, baby we're over land
        Em          G               D
I know flying over water makes you cry
                  Em       G
We've been in the sky so long
                Cadd9      G
It seems like a long way home
Em                  G               D
But I can't for the life of me say why


BRIDGE:
Em                         G
Do we leave our love behind?
Em                         G
Did we leave our love behind?
Em                         G
Do we leave our love behind?
Em                         G
Did we leave our love behind?


CHORUS:
Em       G               Cadd9   G
Take my hand, baby we're over land
        Em          G               D
I know flying over water makes you cry
            Em       G
Been in the sky so long
              Cadd9      G
Seems like the long way home
Em                  G               D
But I can't for the life of me say why
Em                          G
Did we leave our love behind?
Em                          G
Did we leave our love behind?
