G
Garbage day north side of Chicago
Am
Dark smoke diesels scream right past
C G
She looks for the words - but never quite sure
G
And I'm waiting for the wind to blow
Am
The smell of hope far from my nose
C G
The engine in this dream starts to go
G
And I'm trying hard to hear her
Am
But I don't quite have the nerve
C G
Because what she said I have never had the ears for
G
Now love is on the table
Am
And he's had one to many beers
C
And he's laughin' in my face
G
And spittin' with every word
G D C G
She was holdin' out, he was movin' on
G D C G
Has got me wonderin' how, these things turn out so wrong
G
Our conversations been stained with coffee
Am
I'm lookin' at an empty cup
C G
With Townes Van Zandt ringing in my ears
G
Walked down to the shores of Great Lake Michigan
Am
And try my best to shoot down a reason
C G
Find that target, I just can't hit
G
So I ask about her family
Am
Try my damnedest not to care
C G
Cause I loved her once and I never will forget
G
We traipsed across those mountain tops
Am
Played old soul songs from that jukebox
C G
In that gritty northern bar miles and years from here
G D C G
She was holdin' out, he was movin' on
G D C G
Has got me wonderin' how, these things turn out so wrong
G
History is a live and well
Am
He spent last night with Lefty in a keep motel
C G
And he's a little bit tired and a little bit upset
G
I got to ask for forgiveness
Am
I know he don't just freely give it
C G
I got a chance to pony up for a decent meal
G Am
History, Love, and Desire they're playing poker Texas style
C G
With cards printed right off my chest
G Am
Desire she goes all in with a pair deuces and bluffers grin
C G
And Love is folding pocket kings again
G
Desire thinks she can work her king
Am
But History won't be shamed
C G
He's gonna send her home without a penny or a dime
G D C G
She was holdin' out, he was movin' on
G D C G
Has got me wonderin' how, these things turn out so wrong X2
