F C F C
Lay me on my back a little and put my hat on my head
F C Am7 C7+
I want to sleep out with the stars, not in the dark with the dead
F C F C
When I?m ready I?ll give you the sign, you can gather me up like a quilt
F C Am7 C7+
Tell my mother I tried, tell my cousin I lied I was holding your hand out of guilt
F C
They never paid my way ? I bought it
C7+ C
I never stole your heart ? I sought it
F C C7+....
I never knew my place anyway
F C F C
Cover me up with a thousand whispers and shuffle me into the night
F C Am7 C7+
Whistle and hum to the traffic rum, calling us closer to the edge of the light
F C F C
Tell me tales that win my faith and be my champion of dreams
F C Am7 C7+..
I don?t want to forget the day I left for America and things came apart at the seams
F C
They never paid my way ? I bought it
C7+ C
I never stole your heart ? I sought it
F C C7+....
I never knew my place anyway
F C
They never paid my way ? I bought it
C7+ C
I never stole your heart ? I sought it
F C C7+....
I never knew my place anyway
(Repeat Chorus the same way and end)
