     Dead leaves and the dirty ground when I know youre not around

A G  A                     G                    C       D        A
     Shiny tops     and soda pops when I hear your lips make a sound

       If you can hear a piano fall you can hear me comin down the hall

  G  A                           G                   C          D         A  
     If I could just hear your pretty voice I dont think I need to see at all

    G         F            G    A  
     Dont think I need to see at all

A G  A                       G                    C          D       A  
     Soft hair and a velvet tongue I wanna give ya what you give to me
 
A G  A                         G                  C           D       A  
     And every breath that is in your lungs Is a tiny little gift to me

    G       F      G         A  
     Is a tiny little gift to me

D x8                                A

      Well any man with a microphone can tell you what he loves the most    

 G  A                        G                   C            D          A  
     And you know why you love at all if you're thinking of the holy ghost
    G          F         G           A  
     If youre thinking of the holy ghost

You can use power chords or major for the whole entire song,
It sounds better in major on my acoustic so I tabbed them in major
