Eric Hutchinson – Sun Goes Down (Guitar)

C                         C    D G
  I got a postcard in the mail today

                              C          D             Em
and on the back she wrote the words that she could not say,

                      C    D             Em
on the front a desert sky orange red and brown.

                             C           D        G       C     G
She wrote: will you think of me when the sun goes down?

C                        C     D G
  She wrote it wasn't anything I did

                          C       D              Em
to make her leave me all alone to raise both our kids.

                          C             D      Em
Said she cannot spend the night in that desert town

                            C           D        G          G
'cause she always thinks of me when the sun goes down

C            C        Bm              Bm
  So hard to know how long it's gonna take

Em   Em/D#  G/D        A/C#         Am               D
  to heal a heart that was never supposed to break.

                            C  D   G
She said to tell her mother hi for her

                              C              D         Em
and that she thinks of coming home but she's still not sure.

                     C           D         Em
Plays piano when she can but she hates the sound

                         C       D        G          G
and she always thinks of me when sun goes down.

C            C        Bm              Bm
  So hard to know how long it's gonna take

Em   Em/D#  G/D        A/C#         Am              D
  to heal a heart that was never supposed to break,   what a mistake.

G                            C    D G
  I put that postcard in the fire tonight

                             C                    D    Em
like all the others that she sends 'cause they're all alike.

                          C          D          Em
I closed the window and I pulled the shades all down,

                       C            D        G          G
I'm not gonna think of her when the sun goes down,

C          D        G       G
  when the sun goes down,

C          D        G       G
  when the sun goes down,

C          D        G       G
  when the sun goes down,

C          D        G       G
  when the sun goes down,

C          D        G       G
  when the sun goes down.
