James McMurtry - You got to me

^GTo celebrate undying faith, we’r^Ce gathered here like drifted wrecks ^Gfor a late September wedding, Oc^Dtober breathing down our necks. ^GI knew this town in another time. I ^Cknew this town a younger man ^Gwith the world in my hip pocket ^Da subway token in my hand. ^{G C} Mmm you go^Gt to me. ^C

^GAnd they got candlelight and a reggae band, cham^Cpagne by the bucket load ^GLimos lined up down the curb to ^Dtake us where we need to go. ^GAnd I need to go somewhere I’ve been to ^Cfind a place I lost the trail ^GWay back then so long ago I don’^Dt suppose you even know

^GYou got to me. ^CBrought all this empty down on t^Gop of me. ^{C G}You got to me. ^{C G C}

^GWe danced between the snowflakes falling, trippi^Cng on the cobblestones ^GAnd the trolley tracks, we had it all then, Chr^Distmas break your roommates gone ^GWe stoked the fire and let it burn till the e^Cmbers glowed in the morning light ^GTrust in the tangle of skin on skins I’v^De not known quite that feeling since

^GYou got to me. ^CBrought all this empty down on t^Gop of me. ^CI didn’t know but we wer^Ge not to be, but^C I know ^Da thing or two now. ^{G C G C}

^GThe wedding party’s raging yet, how the ol^Cd and desperate misbehave ^GLimo smells like cocaine sweat, che^Dap cologne and aftershave ^GIt’s gotta be one of these row house doors I kn^Cew the number long ago ^GI step out on the curb. Tell the dr^Diver just go on and go.

^GYou got to me. ^CBrought all this empty down on t^Gop of me. ^CI didn’t know but we were n^Got to be, but ^CI know a^D thing or two now^G. ^C

^GThe paper boy wants a smoke, l^Ceans his bike against a tree ^GHe’s tired and cold and broke and he do^Dn’t what to make of me ^GStanding here in my three piece suit, st^Canding here just like I am ^GWith my vest unbuttoned and my neck tie loose, i^Dmpervious to all abuse

^GYou got to me. ^CBrought all this empty down on t^Gop of me. ^COff on a thousand dollar ody^Gssey, and ^CI know a thi^Dng or two n^Gow. Yeah ^CI know a th^Ding or two no^Gw. Yeah ^CI know a th^Ding or two no^Gw. ^{C D G}
