Kevin Devine - Country sky glow

^GYou carry the beach in your way too short hair ^DThat you shaved off last week cause you freaked and got scared That when it's ^Emlonger, you r^Demind me of her^G

^GSo you offered it up with what passed for authority, ^DA strict sort of challenge that you directed straight at me You said "^Emforget her, I^D don't care wha^Gt you two were"

So it's a t^Crick on your ego ^DA two-step off tempo ^EmA solid gold bracelet Under^G lights in a window ^DIn some shopping mall where I never^G go

^GYou play coy and count tiles, drag your toes through the water ^DRaise your eyes, bite your lip and my mind's in the gutter You move at ^Emme and take m^Dy face in your ^Ghands

^GI feel light bulbs explode and a fire crack thunder sends ^DThe slow seismic shift, the sprawling cloud cover But when we're ^Emfinished I fe^Del awful again ^G

So it's the ^Csame sorry story Just the ca^Dst changes nightly It sk^Emips like a record But it g^Glows like a movie You're the ^Dcountry sky that I ^Gnever see

^GShake ^Din your v^Coice makes me feel empty and ^Gugly All sc^Dattered anger like a windstorm^C howling violently And I wanna fade ^Cout And wake up somewhere ^Delse Where no face is fam^Giliar And I'm left by m^Cyself To keep plugging awa^Cy On my own wasted ^Dtime To eat badly and ^Gspend all my money and ^Cwrite To not feel too gui^Clty To be tired at ni^Dght Since I'm not fixing t^Ghings here I'll leave them be^Chind So you make your dec^Dision cause I'm through making^G mine

^GNow I walk where the street swallows light like it's water I see the s^Dlant of your smirk on every kid at the corner But if you c^Emalled, I'd never ^Dknow what to sa^Gy So I just hope you never^C will ^D Cause things are easier that way ^G
