[Intro]
Em G C G C D
(2x)
[Verse 1]
Em G C
I was smiling like a boy that just stole shit
G C G D
When you told me you would hold it, my late momma’s ring
Em G C G
And I’d sneak away at the end of each day
C G D
To write sonnets for you I could sing
Em G
It was cold in October
C G
When you rode yourself over
C G D
To pull on my shoulder to say
Em G C G
It took a mighty long time and too much wasted wine
C G D
To find a man who looks at me this way
[Chorus]
Em G
But I’d fight any roughneck I’d stop any river
C G D
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
Em
In the grips of a woman
G
Sends shivers down spines
C G D
Makes you recall your forgotten good times
[Verse 2]
Em G
When you wake in the morning
C G
To the sound of me snoring
C G D
My ragged face by your side
Em G
Pray that you know
C G
All my dreams and my hopes
C G D
Have you holding me the day that I die
Em G C G
And I know that I’m nothing but I am not bluffing
C G D
When I say you’re meant for the sky
Em G C G
Cause beauty that holy and heart so kind
C G D
Deserves a place it can fly
[Chorus]
Em G
But I’d fight any roughneck I’d stop any river
C G D
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
Em
In the grips of a woman
G
Sends shivers down spines
C G D
Makes you recall your forgotten good times
[Chorus]
Em G
Yeah I’d fight any roughneck I’d stop any river
C G D
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
Em
In the grips of a woman
G
Sends shivers down spines
C G D
Makes you recall your forgotten good times
