G5                                             C5          F5
 I'm fixing that drink in the morning, with the way things are
    G5                        C5    F5
 You may have stayed too lonnnnnng
       G5                                     C5              F5
 You're splitting apart at the seams, from the heart's bitter call
     G5                   C5     F5
 You known him so lonnnn-nnnggg

Chorus 1:
   Eb5                      Bb5   Eb5                   Bb5
 If there's a god up in the air, someone looking over everyone
    Eb5                         Bb5        F5
 At least you got something to fall back onnnnnn

G5                                      C5                 F5
 Deep in the heart of the country was a house I built from love
G5                            C5    F5
 A raven-headed lady, aaaallllll
G5                                      C5                    F5
 Quiet and calm through the day, see the sunburn burn thru the hall
G5                             C5   F5
 Approaching was a yellow...dog

Chorus 2:
 Eb5                         Bb5   Eb5                  Bb5    
 If there's a god up in the air, someone looking over everyone
Eb5                             Bb5        F5
 At least you got something to fall back onnnnnn
    Eb5                       Bb5   Eb5               Bb5
 And what are  people really for? Does anybody even care?
Eb5                     Bb5              F5
