I was watching, with one eye on the other side,
D G
I had fifteen people telling me to move, I got movin’ on my mind.

I found shelter, in some thoughts turning wheels around,
D G
I've said 39 times that I love you to the beauty I have found.

G C
I've been thinking, of a little place down by the lake
D
They've got a dirty old road leading up to the house
G
I wonder how long it will take
G
till we're alone,
C
sitting on a front porch of that home
D
Stompin our feet, on the wooden boards,

Never gotta worry about locking the door

Let's get married in a big cathedral by a priest

You could say I do at least.

D5/AA Martyr For My Love For You
[Intro]
Am Em
[Verse 1]
Am Em
She was sixteen and six feet tall
Dm C Am
In a crowd of teenagers coming out of the zoo
Em
She stumbled started to slip and fall
Dm C Am
Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
Em
I happened to catch her and said
Dm C Am Em Am
"Maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"
Em Am Em
Maybe for you, now
[Riff Break]
Am
[Verse 2]
Em
But not as shaky as I must have seemed
Dm C Am
Talking junk through her giggle, little teenage dream
Em
And on the phone I could not compete
Dm C Am
My dumb-luck fake competence was getting weak
Em
For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet
Dm C
But sure enough in a gruff, faint voice
Am Am Em
I heard myself speak
[Chorus]
D A
I could stay a while
C G
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
D A
And I can tell a joke
C G
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
D A
And we could share a kiss
C G
But I feel like I can't go through with this
D A
And I bet we could build a home
C G
But I know the right thing for me to do
Am Em Am Em
Is to leave you alone
Am Em
Leave you alone, now

So you probably won't get what I'm going to do

I'm walking away from you

It probably don't make much sense to you
Am Em
But I'm trying to save you
D C Am Em Am
From all of the things that I'll probably say or do
Em Am Em Am
I'll probably do
[Chorus]

You'll probably call me a fool

And say I'm doing exactly what a coward would do

It's a shame what a lame way to live
G Am
But what can I do?

I hope you appreciate what I do

Am
Your breath is sweet and weak
G
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
F
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth

On the pillow where you lie
Am
But I don't sense affection
G
No gratitude, no love
F
Your loyalty is not to me

But to the stars above

Your daddy, he's an outlaw
G
And a wanderer by trade
F
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
E7
And how to throw the blade
Am
He oversees his kingdom
G
So no stranger does intrude
F
His voice it trembles as he calls out
E7
For another plate of food

One more cup of coffee for the road

One more cup of coffee before I go

Am
Your sister sees the future
G
Like your Mother and yourself
F
You don't know how to read or write
E7
There's no books upon your shelf
Am
But your pleasure knows no limits
G
And your voice is like a meadowlark
F
Your heart is like the ocean

[Verse 1]
Am
Hey Little Apple Blossom
Dm
What seems to be the problem
Am
All the ones you tell your troubles to
Em G Am
They don't really care for you
Am
Come and tell me what you're thinking
Dm
Cause just when the boat is sinking
Am
A little light is blinking
Em G Am
And I will come and rescue you
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Lots of girls walk around in tears
Em Am
But that's not for you
Dm Am
You've been looking all around for years
B E G
For someone to tell your troubles to
[Verse 2]
Am
Come and sit with me and talk a while
Dm
Let me see your pretty little smile
Am
Put your troubles in a little pile
Em G Am
And I will sort them out for you

hallowed meeting, but the record sings it: These two sides....)

Can't think of anything to do, yeah
A D E
My left brain knows that all love is fleeting
F# A
