George Strait - House Across The Bay

intro . : | ( Em ) | ( A ) | ( D ) | ( D ) |

( Em ) walkin’ down this lonely stretch of beach , she and i walked ( D ) down a thousand times
i ( Em ) just can force myself to give her up like all the things ( D ) she left behind
( Em ) gone are the days , when i’d wake up with her warm bod – ( A ) y next to mine

( chorus )
( G ) it gets cold here ( A ) in the winter time
( D ) and my mind drifts away ( G ) to that house across the bay ( Em ) ( A )
( G ) a long talk and A ( A ) glass of wine ( D ) and we’d love the night away ( G )
but that was yesterday ( Em ) ( A ) in that house across the ( D ) bay

her ( Em ) laughter was contagious , her walk , her talk , her smile lit up ( D ) every room
they say things ( Em ) happen for a reason , but i can’t find one good reason , why
she’s ( D ) gone so soon
( Em ) life just seems to hang on every thought and everything ( Em/F# ) we ( A ) used to be

( chorus )
( G ) it gets cold here ( A ) in the winter time
( D ) and my mind drifts away ( G ) to that house across the bay ( Em ) ( A )
( G ) a long talk and A ( A ) glass of wine ( D ) and we’d love the night away ( G )
but that was yesterday ( Em ) ( A ) in that house across the ( D ) bay

( tag )
there was sunshine everyday ( Em ) and we’d love the night away ( A ) – – –
