Tom: D
D G
My baby?s at home with her radio on
A D
A hot meal and a tall stiff drink
G
I think I?ll sing her a lullaby
A D
And I?ll watch her fall fast asleep
G
One day she walked by me and lightning was striking
A D
And the clouds they were burning black
G
She swept back her hair and the clouds they did stare
A D
As the sunshine pushed it?s way back?
[Chorus]
D G A D
And there?s only one place I wanna be when the day is done
G
Well that?s lying half stoned outta my mind
A D
Wrapped up in your love.
D G
I spent some time on a California line
A D
I was shipping parts back east
G
And the day soon came they released me from my chains
A D
I had all the money that I?d need
G
And them greyhounds ran slow and the hours ran long
A D
Awe but I was finally on my way
G
I stepped through the doorway and that big house was empty
A D
And there ain?t no words to explain?
[Chorus]
D G
Well, someday I?ll die from the pains in my life
A D
And I?m sent where there?s pain no more
G
All I can say is there?d better be a way
A D
For me to hold close the one that I adore
G A D
Heaven?s a place no one wants to face before the time is through
G A D
And if ever a realm existed in hell, It would be me without you?
