Fill Me Up

Shawn Colvin


Tom: Am

F – Dm – G - F

Chorus:
        F          Dm
Fill me up fill me up
      G             F
I'm a long way from home
      F            Dm     G
And I don't have a lot to say
        F          Dm
Fill me up fill me up
             G             F
Cause you're all that I've got
      F          Dm         F
And I traveled a long, long way

         F           Dm
Cheer me up cheer me up
      G       F
Cause I'm all alone
        F         Dm     G
And I'm taking it day by day
         F           Dm
Cheer me up cheer me up
             G             F
Cause you're all that I've got
      F          Dm         F
And I traveled a long, long way

I'm a bellhop now on a busy day
And I'm starting at sunrise
And the color of dawn from this plane that I'm on
Is the day breaking in your eyes

I'm a still life now on a tabletop
I'm a case study in French blue
And it's clear to me now that the whole of my life
I've been making my way to you

Bridge:
                     Dm
And I know where you live
                   Am
And I know who you are
                  Dm
So don't get too close
                 F
And don't go too far

Well I might be alright
If I just see the light
I don't care if the phone don't ring
And I'll know when it's right like a voice in the night
And the right shade of tangerine


        F          Dm
Fill me up fill me up
      G             F
I'm a long way from home
      F            Dm     G
And I don't have a lot to say
        F          Dm
Fill me up fill me up
             G             F
Cause you're all that I've got
      F          Dm         F
And I traveled a long, long way

         F           Dm
Cheer me up cheer me up
      G       F
Cause I'm all alone
        F         Dm     G
And I'm taking it day by day
         F           Dm
Cheer me up cheer me up
             G             F
Cause you're all that I've got
      F          Dm         F
And I traveled a long, long way

                     Dm
And I know where you live
                   Am
And I know who you are
                  Dm
So don't get too close
                 F
And don't go too far
Don't get too close
And promise me that you'll never go too far
Never go too far
