the morning comes to a stuttering halt

the cool breeze that blows is somebodys fault
F                                      
the summer heat tries to burn through
C                               G                      Bb
and i look over to warn you but somethings happening

C C' C C'

C
the morning glories climb the wall

and you speak in a slow drawl
       F
im trying to piece together what youre saying
        C
but the birds are screeching, the hounds are baying
   G                    Bb
i don't remember there being any hounds around here

we lean back and we clink our glasses

raise the drinks to our thirsty mouths,
                        F
and thick as molasses ice cold vodka eases in as
    C
the low pressure system brings the breezes in
          G
and they sashay and pirouette above you
Fm
the only thing i know is that i love you 
         C
and i'm holding on,
yeah
