Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

D MajorD                   B minorBm
He put on his shirt carefully, making sure that the buttons matched up
       G+G
His sleeves were always too short
                D MajorD         A augmentedA
But at least it meant he could always see his watch
       D MajorD
And often he checked the time
       B minorBm
And it would be stopped
             G+G
He always thought it was broken
                     D MajorD A augmentedA
But then he'd remember he had to wind it, oh
          D MajorD                  B minorBm
Though he knew some day he'd remember to wind it and it wouldn't work after all
          G+G               D MajorD        A augmentedA
Maybe that would happen on the exact day he didn't think it was broken

Chorus:

           D MajorD
Isn't that the way it works
           B minorBm
Isn't that the way it goes
         G+G
While the fox he lurks
           D MajorD
And while the rooster crows
A augmentedA             D MajorD
Isn't that the way things are
            B minorBm
The way the world ain't flat
             G+G           D MajorD   A augmentedA  D MajorD
But you can only run so far before you make it back


Verse 2:

D MajorD                              B minorBm
He could drink from the sink by craning his head far to one side
            G+G           D MajorD
The day he figured that out, one of the horses died
A augmentedA         D MajorD
It was one of the twins that barely a week'd been alive
      B minorBm
It was the one who could barely stand
         G+G                       D MajorD         A augmentedA
We'd wrapped his legs with gauze and bandages from inside from one of the kitchen drawers
       B minorBm
We called him stretch
       G+G
Cuz he was so skinny and tall
        D MajorD
Momma said both twins rarely live with horses
        A augmentedA
We was lucky to have one livin at all
       D MajorD                      B minorBm
And me and my momma slept in the stall next to them in the bed of a pickup
         G+G    D MajorD  A augmentedA
All us kids piled in
               D MajorD
I remember the momma horse lickin and cleaning up her newborn babies
A augmentedA
She was working so hard (she was working so hard)
G+G          D MajorD
She was working so hard (she was working so hard)
A augmentedA        B minorBm
She was working so hard
        G+G
She was working so hard
        D MajorD
She was working so hard
        A augmentedA
She was working so hard

Chorus:
           D MajorD
Isn't that the way it works
           B minorBm
Isn't that the way it goes
         G+G
While the fox he lurks
           D MajorD
And while the rooster crows
 A augmentedA            D MajorD
Isn't that the way things are
            B minorBm
The way the world ain't flat
             G+G           D MajorD   A augmentedA
But you can only run so far before you make it back


           B minorBm
Isn't that the way it works
           G+G
Isn't that the way it goes
         D MajorD
While the fox he lurks
           A augmentedA
And while the rooster crows
             B minorBm
Isn't that the way things are
             G+G
The way the world ain't flat
          D MajorD           A augmentedA
You can only run so far before you make it back
          B minorBm
You can only run so far
           G+G
You can only run so far
      D MajorD             A augmentedA   D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Before you make it, before you make it back
