Intro G - C - G
verse 1
G
If you're looking for her,
she's right down the road.
Cadd9
She'll be sitting on a swing in the sun
G
making stones turn into gold.
D Cadd9
Let her know that the family she knew
G
keeps her locket and keys.
D
Tell her everything is fine
Cadd9 G
and she's missed like the winds miss the trees.
verse 2
G
And if you're searching for her,
she's out shedding light.
Cadd9
She's the one you can't miss
G
'cause her smile makes the sun seem less bright.
D
But if you find her, be still
Cadd9 G
tell her everything about the time you've killed.
D Cadd9
Let her know that the bad times will pass
G
and I miss her like hell.
Cadd9 G
Tell her I'm lost,
D
but that's alright,
Em D Cadd9 G
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.
Em D Cadd9 G
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.
verse 3
G
If you're searching for worth,
you'll find it with her,
Cadd9
but she'll ask for your trust
G
'cause it's hard being shown how to learn.
D Cadd9
So let her know that the stars haven't moved;
G
God, I hope they're the same.
D
Tell her life could be worse,
Cadd9 G
and I'm trying my best now to change.
Cadd9 G
Tell her I'm lost,
D
but that's alright,
Em D Cadd9 G
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.
Em D Cadd9 G
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.
verse 3
G
But if it's after the dawn,
be sure you're alone,
Cadd9 G
'cause she's the kind best enjoyed like a pool under cottonwoods and stones.
D
So let her laugh wash you clean,
Cadd9 G
like the rains on the tilted window panes.
D
Give her everything and more,
Cadd9 G
and she'll give you the world in exchange.
Cadd9 G
Tell her I'm lost,
D
but that's alright,
Em D Cadd9 G
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.
Em D Cadd9 G
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.
Bridge
Em
And tell her everything is good,
Cadd9 G D
but I miss how her eyes would take me home.
Em
And tell her life is getting faster
Cadd9 G D
and I miss the way she'd make you move so slow.
Em
And tell her how I'm still alive
Cadd9 G
and how I wish I was something I could boast.
Em
'Cause I'm up in the sky now
Cadd9 G
and the stars have never seemed this close.
Cadd9 G
Tell her I'm lost,
D
but that's alright,
Em D Cadd9 G
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.
Em D Cadd9 G
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.
Outro
G
So if you're searching for love,
she's right down the road.
Cadd9
She'll be sitting on a swing in the sun
G
making stones turn to gold.
