Flying over Water
[Intro]
A E A
[Verse]
A E A
From the sky we look so organized and brave
D E A (G#)
Walls that make up barricades and graves
F#m D A (C#) D
Daddy's little empire built by hand and built by slaves
A E A
From the sky we look so organized and brave
A E A
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
D E A (G#)
Drunken tears and tugging at your skirt
F#m D A (C#) D
If only you could tell me then what part of you got hurt
A E A
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
[Chorus]
F#m A D A
Take my hand baby we're over land
F#m A E
I know flying over water makes you cry
F#m A
Where's that liquor cart?
D A
Maybe we shouldn't start
F#m A E
But I can't say for the life of me say why
[Verse]
A E A
From the sky to highway straight as it could be
D E A (G#)
A string pulled tight home from Tennessee
F#m D A (C#) D
Still somehow these ditches took the better part of me
A E A
From the sky to highway straight as it could be
[Chorus]
F#m A D A
Take my hand baby we're over land
F#m A E
I know flying over water makes you cry
F#m A
Been in the sky so long
D A
Seems like the long way home
F#m A E
But I can't for the life of me say why
[Bridge]
Bm F#m
Did we leave our love behind?
Bm F#m E
Did we leave our love behind?
Bm F#m
Did we leave our love behind?
Bm F#m E
Did we leave our love behind?
[Chorus]
F#m A D A
Take my hand baby we're over land
F#m A E
I know flying over water makes you cry
F#m A
Been in the sky so long
D A
Seems like the long way home
F#m A E
But I can't for the life of me say why
