[Verse]
C G C
when the wine stops working and you're all run out
Fmaj7 G C
and all of your high hopes have all headed south
C G C
and the songs left the stable and they never came home
Fmaj7 G C
and there ain't no forgetting that you're out on your own
C G C
turned the scrub oaks to timber and you're left without friends
Fmaj7 G C
and you don't put your book down even after it ends
C G C
smoke curls up from the table in your quiet little room
Fmaj7 G C
(Hit the C bass note, then B bass note in Cmaj9 to go into chorus)
and your heart's worn the handle of an old pushing broom
[Chorus]
Am G C Fmaj7 C G C
broken bottles shi ---- ne just like stars, make a wish anyway
Am G C Fmaj7 C G C
just your smile lit a sixty-watt bulb in my house that was darkened for days
Fmaj7 G C
been thinking you probably should stay
[Verse]
C G C
when the going is long gone and the kick drum won't kick
Fmaj7 G C
when you fumble with your fiddle and you're fresh out of tricks
C G C
and the horseflies are biting but the fish never do
Fmaj7 G C
and your heart's a thousand colors but they're all shades of blue
[Chorus]
Am G C Fmaj7 C G C
broken bottles shi ---- ne just like stars, make a wish anyway
Am G C Fmaj7 C G C
just your smile lit a sixty-watt bulb in my house that was darkened for days
Fmaj7 G C
been thinking you probably should stay
Fmaj7 G C
yeah, I think that you probably should stay
[Chorus]
(instrumental with whistling)
Fmaj7 G C
and our dreams on the windowsill
Fmaj7 G C
see those trees turning gold in the hills
