Verse 1:
F              C             Fsus4        F
The valley moon was shining so bright,
F                              Fsus4 F
Like a cop light that’s blin--ding.
F                 C                    Fsus4          F
Snow on the ground I could turn out the lights,
F                        Fsus4 F
Even while I was dri---ving.
 C                               Bb                              F     Fsus4 F
And she sat beside me and looked like a wildflower smells,
 C                                  Bb                            F    Fsus4 F
And I looked like I’d done my best in the worst of hotels.

Verse 2:
F              C               Bb            F
Her daddy kept all the bad boys away,
F                      Bb        F
Like you try and hide money.
F               C           Bb            F
All dressed up like a window display,
F                      Bb F
Like a chalice of ho-ney.

Confit de bouche, she still knows more than you think,
 C                                 Bb                                    F    Fsus4 F
She sits in the front seat and stares straight ahead like a sphynx.


Chorus:
 Bb            F               C        F
Like a rock, like a river, like a harmony,
 Bb              F Bb F Bb F
Like a freight train,
C*                       F  Fsus4 F
She was like a simile.

Verse 3:
F               C          Fsus4             F
What’s the use of a love you can’t use,
F          C          Bb F
Like an empty revolver,
F        C                  Fsus4           F
Like a preacher with second hand news,
F       C          Bb F
I was never a talker.

 C                             Bb                              F   Fsus4 F
Though I’m a good lover, she still found a way to complain,
 C                           Bb                                 F   Fsus4 F
When I hear the thunder I don’t stick around for the rain.

Like a rock, like a river, like a harmony,

Like a freight train,

She was like a simile.

You can explain when you’re born in the south,
F            C                      Bb F
Southern hearts ain’t that simple,
F                 C           Fsus4     F
She moved away, but I stuck around,
F            C              BbF
Now I’m creepy and single.


Pre-Chorus 3:

But I sleep like a baby ever since she showed me how,
 C                        Bb                               F           Fsus4 F
Curled up like a cat by a woodstove and swallow all doubt.

Like a rock, like a river, like a harmony,

Like a freight train,
C*                       F  Fsus4 F
She was like a simile.
