Damn Love Song

	  		CAPO: 5 
          C                      G/B  
How can I carve your name in the trunk of a tree  
        Am                       F 
That'll be here long after we're gone? 
        C                    G/B          F       G 
I can't even write it in the steam on the mirror 
         C                     G/B 
And with nobody listening, not even myself 
        Am            F    G 
It's as much as I can do 
                 E7            Am 
To whisper those words in your ear 



      G                   C 
After all of these years, look at me here 
       G                     C 
With a love song stuck in my throat 
        G                         C            E7            Am  G 
Got the weight of the world on my shoulders, I won't let it go 



          C                      G/B  
How can I dive right down in the deep blue sea  
    Am                        F 
And still hope to find my way home? 
       C             G/B        F       G 
When I stumble on my way to the shore 
         C                                G/B 
And when all of the airplanes, all of the cars 
            Am            F      G 
And all the miles in the world 
                   E7                        Am 
Are sometimes not enough to quite reach your door 
                  


      G                            C 
After all of these years, will you look at me here 
       G                     C 
With a love song stuck in my throat 
        G                               C            E7           Am   
Got the weight of the world and there's not too much else I can hold 



Bridge: 
G                  F           C 
What if my chances run out someday 
G                       C 
Life's not my batting machine? 
G                         C         E          Am     G    F   G 
What if it stops throwing pitches before I hit one clean? 


          C              G/B  
How can I lie beside you night after night  
    Am                       F        C 
And pick at the lock on your heart? 
           G/B       F     G 
Never once opened my own 
           C                         G/B  
'Cause the last time it got free, it just cut and run  
       Am                   F 
Like a stray out in the street 
       G                 E7                      Am 
And it took about all I had just to make it come home 



      G                       C 
After all these years, is the time drawing near 
       G                       C 
When a love song flies from my throat? 
      G                          C            E7          Am    F 
Can I lay down the weight of the world by the side of the road___ 
                           G                     Am    F 
Lay down the weight of the world and call myself home___ 
                           G        C   G  C 
Lay down the weight of the world?
