 I'm fixing that drink in the morning, with the way things are

 You may have stayed too lonnnnnng
       Gm                                     Cm              F
 You're splitting apart at the seams, from the heart's bitter call

 If there's a god up in the air, someone looking over everyone

 Deep in the heart of the country was a house I built from love
Gm                            Cm    F
 A raven-headed lady, aaaallllll
Gm                                      Cm                    F
 Quiet and calm through the day, see the sunburn burn thru the hall
Gm                             Cm   F
 Approaching was a yellow...dog

Chorus 2:
 Eb                         Bb   Eb                  Bb    
 If there's a god up in the air, someone looking over everyone
Eb                             Bb        F
 At least you got something to fall back onnnnnn
    Eb                       Bb   Eb               Bb
 And what are  people really for? Does anybody even care?
