G                    C#m7b5       C                    G      
Oh, Lou, I'd like to let you know that I do not feel welcome.

G                             C#m7b5        C                             G
All the birds, the trees, the falling snow, no they were not made for me.

G                         C#m7b5         C               G
And all this is where her heart resides; we met in California.

G                       C#m7b5                    C                           G
She saw cities, promise reaching through my eyes, and she turned herself away.

C                                G     C                            G
Well how I curse that western skyline, and yet I thanked it for my start.

C    Em           G                   C     C#dim             G
Oh Lou, though my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart.

G                         C#m7b5     C                          G     
So I followed her here to Birmingham, where the soil is so much richer.

G                                C#m7b5         C                          G
And though my aching pride might guide my hand, she did not ask for me to come.

G                     C#m7b5           C                       G
So I wait for her all through the day, as if I wait for her surrender.

G                           C#m7b5       C                                G
And every time I get her to look my way, she says I'm not where I belong.

C                                G        C                         G
But I watch her father preach on Sundays, I know the hymnals all by heart.

C     Em           G                   C             C#dim           G
But oh, Lou, no my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart.

All the snow fall this time of year, it's not what Birmingham is used to.

G                        C#m7b5           C                            G
I get the feeling that I brought it here, and now I'm taking it away.

C                                G       C                     G
But let's share one more drink together, before I go reload my car.

C   Em         G                   C             C#dim           G
Oh, Lou, no my dreams did not come true; no they only came apart.
