B             A                      B

There was the faintest sliver of the moon



   A                     B

At two o'clock this afternoon



     A                        B

Well you and me, we share the same one



                A                B

We're out there battling the sun



                     A                      B

Knockin chips with a five piece stick off a dull gray rock

    A                     B

But nothin's getting done

         A                        B                A

Don't it seem, don't it seem like nothin ever gets done





D               (Bm)

They can call us hicks, 



            G          A

we got your smile just wide enough to 



D                (Bm)                  G     A

lodge between the bricks of some small history, yeah



D               (Bm)                G             A

Some can throw a switch and it can sell you some half-truths

   D                  (Bm)               

So lie and tell me you miss me

A                G        B        A  B  A

Yeah tell me you miss me, yeah







B            A                B

The rails we ride were always built

   A                          B

On someone else's shoulders

             A                  B

Well and the river rides smooth 

      A                   B

over hond yallow boulders

                            A                           B

You might hear the sound of what you love fading out to nothing

           A                   B

A strip of pink on the horizon



B                             A     B

But what you love will always smolder

B                             A     B

The thing you love will always smolder

B                             A     B

I think what you love will always smolder

B                             A     G

The thing you love will always smolder





D               (Bm)

They can call us hicks, 



            G          A

we got your smile just wide enough to 



D                (Bm)                  G     A

lodge between the bricks of some small history, yeah



D               (Bm)                G             A

Some can throw a switch and it can sell you some half-truths

   D                  (Bm)               

So lie and tell me you miss me

A                G        B        A  B  A

Yeah tell me you miss me, yeah
