Intro G F C 

Verse 
              G                     F 
I think it’s time you brought your face 
              C 
Across the railroad to my place 
          G                   F                  C 
I can’t share this whiskey with ya through the phone 
            
            G              F 
And if we drink enough of it 
                C 
You might just get me to admit 
         G              F            C 
That I never knew quite how to be alone 

Interlude 

G F C 

Verse 
       G               F 
We can sit on my back steps 
           C 
And intertwine our fingertips 
            G             F                  C 
While you talk about the nice things that you once had 

           G                F 
And if the turntable still starts 
         C 
You can teach me how to waltz 
           G               F                  C 
And I’ll teach ya how to feel really, really bad 
 
      D                               G   G D C 
Sometimes the wound hurts powerful indeed 
      D                                         G 
But sometimes you just got to let that sucker bleed 
              C                D 
And when the sun drags in the day 
              Em               C 
Will you be a thousand miles away 
        C          D        Cmaj7 
In the hour of my deepest need? 

Verse 
G F 
           G             F 
Well they pile up around you 
               C 
The good and evil things you do 
          G             F                C 
And the piles grow up higher with every breath 

              G                F 
When you’re down between two mountains 
            C 
And you’re 28 and counting 
              G            F          C 
That's the valley of the shadow of death 

Interlude 
G F C 

        G                 F 
We can watch the silver moon 
           C 
And I’ll fall asleep too soon 
            G                    F                     C 
While the porch light draws the horse flies to their fate 

           G             F 
Yeah, sometimes your company 
             C 
Is just the thing to comfort me 
             G             F                   C 
But other times all I can do is just sit and wait 

      D                               G   G D C 
Sometimes the wound hurts powerful indeed 
      D                                         G 
But sometimes you just got to let that sucker bleed 
              C                D 
And when the sun drags in the day 
              Em               C 
Will you be a thousand miles away 
        C          D        Cmaj7 
In the hour of my deepest need?
