Kris Delmhorst - Damn Love Song
CAPO: 5th Fret
C G/B
How can I carve your name in the trunk of a tree
Am F
That'll be here long after we're gone?
C G/B F G
I can't even write it in the steam on the mirror
C G/B
And with nobody listening, not even myself
Am F G
It's as much as I can do
E7 Am
To whisper those words in your ear
CHORUS:
G C
After all of these years, look at me here
G C
With a love song stuck in my throat
G C E7 Am G
Got the weight of the world on my shoulders, I won't let it go
C G/B
How can I dive right down in the deep blue sea
Am F
And still hope to find my way home?
C G/B F G
When I stumble on my way to the shore
C G/B
And when all of the airplanes, all of the cars
Am F G
And all the miles in the world
E7 Am
Are sometimes not enough to quite reach your door
CHORUS:
G C
After all of these years, will you look at me here
G C
With a love song stuck in my throat
G C E7 Am
Got the weight of the world and there's not too much else I can hold
BRIDGE:
G F C
What if my chances run out someday
G C
Life's not my batting machine?
G C E Am G F G
What if it stops throwing pitches before I hit one clean?
C G/B
How can I lie beside you night after night
Am F C
And pick at the lock on your heart?
G/B F G
Never once opened my own
C G/B
'Cause the last time it got free, it just cut and run
Am F
Like a stray out in the street
G E7 Am
And it took about all I had just to make it come home
CHORUS:
G C
After all these years, is the time drawing near
G C
When a love song flies from my throat?
G C E7 Am F
Can I lay down the weight of the world by the side of the road___
G Am F
Lay down the weight of the world and call myself home___
G C G C
Lay down the weight of the world?
