Messengers by Jared & The Mill

Standard Tuning
Capo on the 5th fret

This first verse is sung without accompaniment:

Tell her I'm lost,
but that's alright,
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.
Only messengers can tell her
how I'm missing her tonight.

Much of the song is played with a fancy finger picking rhythm, but these are the chords used.

[Intro]

G+G - C majorC - G+G


[Verse 1]

G+G
If you're looking for her,

she's right down the road.
      Cadd9Cadd9
She'll be sitting on a swing in the sun
             G+G
making stones turn into gold.
     D MajorD            Cadd9Cadd9
Let her know that the family she knew
           G+G
keeps her locket and keys.
     D MajorD
Tell her everything is fine
      Cadd9Cadd9             G+G
and she's missed like the winds miss the trees.


[Verse 2]

G+G
And if you're searching for her,

she's out shedding light.
     Cadd9Cadd9
She's the one you can't miss
                     G+G
'cause her smile makes the sun seem less bright.
      D MajorD
But if you find her, be still
     Cadd9Cadd9              G+G
tell her everything about the time you've killed.
     D MajorD              Cadd9Cadd9
Let her know that the bad times will pass
           G+G
and I miss her like hell.

[Chorus]

Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
Tell her I'm lost,
       D MajorD
but that's alright,
       Emi       D MajorD      Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.
   Emi      D MajorD        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.


[Verse 3]

G+G
If you're searching for worth,

you'll find it with her,
      Cadd9Cadd9
but she'll ask for your trust
                   G+G
'cause it's hard being shown how to learn.
      D MajorD             Cadd9Cadd9
So let her know that the stars haven't moved;
             G+G
God, I hope they're the same.
     D MajorD
Tell her life could be worse,
     Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
and I'm trying my best now to change.


[Chorus]

Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
Tell her I'm lost,
       D MajorD
but that's alright,
        Emi       D MajorD      Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.
   Emi      D MajorD        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.


[Verse 3]

G+G
But if it's after the dawn,

be sure you're alone,
         Cadd9Cadd9                         G+G
'cause she's the kind best enjoyed like a pool under cottonwoods and stones.
       D MajorD
So let her laugh wash you clean,
     Cadd9Cadd9            G+G
like the rains on the tilted window panes.
      D MajorD
Give her everything and more,
      Cadd9Cadd9          G+G
and she'll give you the world in exchange.


[Chorus]

Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
Tell her I'm lost,
       D MajorD
but that's alright,
        Emi       D MajorD     Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.
    Emi     D MajorD        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.


[Bridge]

       Emi
And tell her everything is good,
   Cadd9Cadd9          G+G    D MajorD
but I miss how her eyes would take me home.
       Emi
And tell her life is getting faster
   Cadd9Cadd9            G+G    D MajorD
and I miss the way she'd make you move so slow.
       Emi
And tell her how I'm still alive
     Cadd9Cadd9             G+G
and how I wish I was something I could boast.
      Emi
'Cause I'm up in the sky now
    Cadd9Cadd9             G+G
and the stars have never seemed this close.


[Chorus]

Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
Tell her I'm lost,
       D MajorD
but that's alright,
        Emi       D MajorD      Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.
    Emi     D MajorD        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.


[Outro]

G+G
So if you're searching for love,

she's right down the road.
      Cadd9Cadd9
She'll be sitting on a swing in the sun
            G+G
