Temporarily Forever Mine

Tom: D

Em  D/F#  A

[Verse]
Em              D/F#      A
The door on the mailbox is rusted shut
Em               D/F#         A
The grass in the yard sure has grown up
Em         D/F#                   A
One of the chains is broken on the front porch swing
Em   D/F#              A
I don't know why I came
G                       D/F#
I guess I had to see it one more time
Em                               A
This little trailer we shared in better times

[Chorus]
D        G               A                    D
Way out yonder see those big old black clouds moving
G                     G/F#            A
I wish the wind could blow me back in time
G              A     D        G       G/F#        Em
those were the days, I had it made, when you were
Em          A       D
Temporarily forever mine

[Verse]
Em              D/F#        A
Did you know your mother still calls me
Em               D/F#           A
She's got a special place in her heart for me
Em           D/F#              A
I'll always be her favorite son-in-law
Em   D/F#                A
She wonders what went wrong
G                      D/F#
I know time can take this pain away,
Em                                A
But time can't take me back to yesterday

[Chorus]
D        G               A                    D
Way out yonder see those big old black clouds moving
G                     G/F#            A
I wish the wind could blow me back in time
G              A     D        G       G/F#        Em
those were the days, I had it made, when you were
Em          A       D
Temporarily forever mine
