[Verse 1]
EBluejays and cardinals all come out to play
GThe highway traffic gets out of your way
D* D*
ESkies clear up if they're overcast
GPitbulls are gentle when you come past
D* D*
EThe stars come out of hiding for you
GAnd I would too
[Chorus]
But this Dworld couldn't hold you
You slipped Gfree
Yeah, this Dworld couldn't hold you
You slipped Gfree A
Without Dme
[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
ENew sheen all over everything
GWhen you open up your mouth to sing
D D
EBaseballs travel farther when you watch them fly
GApples fatten on the tree when you walk by
D* D*
EYou bring something unreplaceable to each and every day
GOr you used to, anyway
[Chorus]
But this Dworld couldn't hold you
You slipped Gfree
Yeah, this Dworld couldn't hold you
You slipped Gfree A
Without Dme
