[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
F G Am
There’s safety in the firin’ line
F G Am
There’s black ice on the road
F G Am
I’m sleepless in the nighttime hours
F G Am
Of a boat breached out at the storm

[Verse 2]
F G Am
We lost the light of the mornin’ star
F G Am
And we wonder where’s the way
F G Am
The horde is gathered in fervor now
F G Am
They all shout words they can’t say

[Chorus]
F C
Darlin’ don’t you worry
F
About the crowd
C
Cause they’re tearing their tongues
F
Oh, quiet them down
C
Darlin’ if you’re leaving
F
Don’t leave me alone
C
Darlin’ if I’m losing again
F
Quiet me down
Am F C
Cause I’ll have plenty of time
Am
To think about it
F G
I’ll have plenty of time
Am
To think about it

[Verse 3]
F G Am
There’s safety in the firin’ line
F G Am
There’s black ice on the road
F G Am
A thorn in each and every side
F G Am
Of her white dress already sold

[Chorus]
F C
Darlin’ don’t you worry
F
About the crowd
C
Cause they’re tearing their tongues
F
Oh, quiet them down
C
Darlin’ if you’re leaving
F
Don’t leave me alone
C
Darlin’ if I’m losing again
F
Quiet me down
Am F C
Cause I’ll have plenty of time
Am
To think about it
F G
I’ll have plenty of time
Am
To think about it

[Outro]
F G Am F G Am
F G Am F G Am
