great song off the album VII! guitar chords by joshuaRobot lyrics by someone else on the internet standard tuning intro: D Bm C F 2x Verse 1:

       E              Bm
It was just as I was leaving

            A               G
Throw some change up on the bar

      E                          G
She caught my eye through the swinging door

         D                  A
She was standing out by my car

           E                      Bm
I said I thought you moved to the city girl

     A                  G
No I never did find the time 

         E                  G
Ive been wasting away at my sisters place

     D                   A
Just north of the county line

Verse 2: //same chords as first, no lyrics for first half Well I gazed out across the gravel lot To the road that leads to town Thinking all the ways that I broke your heart Yeah, thinking how it all went down Chorus:

                 E                Bm
And I said its a strange thing to see you now

         D          A           G        D
Ive been running so long on the same old ground

      E                            Bm
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light

     D          A      
If I ever loved once, you know

G             D         
I never loved right by 

E      Bm        A            E       
you    ooooooh   ooooooh      oooooooh

Bm        D         A            E
oooooh    ooooooh   ooooooh      oooooooh

//Bm D A E also works for the first set of "ooohs" (instead of E Bm A E)
//but i like the D to E sound better coming from the end of the chorus

//Those are all of the chords. the rest of the song uses the same progressions Verse 3: So we go up to the turnpike Where the whole world turns to sky I took her hand, but she drew away Like a bird getting ready to fly She said I ain’t so young, and I met someone He’s a rock that just won’t roll And I gotta find out, if you only love once Or does love keeṗ coming to call Chorus: Cause it’s a strange thing to see you now I’ve been running so long on the same old ground Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light If I ever loved once, you know I never loved right by you Intro Verse 4: There’s a half built house in the potter’s field All the timbers are turned to gray There’s an old brown dog living on the porch I seen him just the other day Well I laid those planks, and I drove those nails But it never did satisfy And a man must forfeit all he owns For a glimpse at the reason why Chorus: It’s a strange thing to see you now I’ve been running so long on the same old ground Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light If I ever loved once, you know I never loved right And it’s a strange thing to see you here If the world don’t mine, yeah you better leave the keys Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light If I ever loved once, you know I never loved right by you
