Intro/Verse: Riff Am Am E E G G E7-Am Riff (3x) (You don't play the riff before the Chorus) 

The way a whiskey tingles downward 
The way a storm can boil a sea 
The way the summer makes everybody younger 
That is how you work on me! 
The way your freight train rocks the coal cars 
The way a river carves its bed 
The way a hand fits inside a pocket 
That is how you live in my head. 

Chorus:
