Cadd9   G/B    Am        G/B 
I left Shannon crying in Nashville 
Cadd9   G/B             D 
She was the best that I had 
Cadd9      G/B     Am                G/B 
She needed so much more than I could give 
Cadd9      G/B      D 
That still makes me sad 

Am      G/B             D 
But California's in my headlights 
Am           G/B                  D              Am 
It's been so long since I've seen stars in the sky 
G/B     D              G/B 
So far, I ain't got it right 
Cadd9         G/B     D 
But this time I just might 
 
 
I missed this desert most in the springtime 
I missed the girl I still love 
I've missed so many once in a lifetime 
Sometimes that gets tough 
Sometimes thats still tough

Maybe you should run, I should warn you 
Cadd9     G/B          D 
Hey baby, I still miss someone 
 
CHORUS 
Cadd9     G/B     D
