Intro: C Am  (2x) 


Verse: 

C             Am   
Judy's in the sandbox 
  
     C             Am  
With gravel in her shoes 

      C              Am 
She's playing in the spotlight 

   G 
No sugar with that pose 

    C               Am    
And everywhere that Judy is 

    C               Am 
Her lamb is sure to go 

   C               Am  
He watches how she lifts her dress 

    E 
And spins into a spell 




Am   C               Am                   C    
Ha-a-hoo, he takes a breath and pulls her in 

              Am               G 
And shuts her out, the ways to hold her hand 

Am   C               Am                 C 
Ha-a-hoo, he looks around and feels her curls 

           F                E 
Across his frozen cheek, too close to touch 


C Am (2x) 



Verse: 
C             Am  
Judy's in the sandbox 

       C                 Am 
Baking cakes against the sun 

   C                Am 
He walks across the playground 

    G 
She scolds him with a frown 

    C                 Am 
She turns her back to tease him 

         C             Am      
Then she laughs beyond control 

   C                  Am 
He wipes his brow and steps inside 

   E 
To play with Emily Rose 



 
Am   C               Am                   C    
Ha-a-hoo, he takes a breath and pulls her in 

              Am               G 
And shuts her out, the ways to hold her hand 

Am   C               Am                 C 
Ha-a-hoo, he looks around and feels her curls 

           F                E 
Across his frozen cheek, too close to touch 



Bridge: 

Am         C            F                          E   
He takes a breath look around, look around, he can hardly breathe 

Am            C        F                          E  
And pulls her in look around, look around, he can hardly move 

Am            C         F                            E         
And shuts her out look around, look around, feel him closing in 

Am           C          G  E              
And waits to hold her hand  

Am           C        G  E  
And waits to hold her in
