Chords

[Intro] A E A [Verse]
          A               E            A
From the sky we look so organized and brave

  D                 E              A           (G#)
Walls that make up barricades and graves

F#m             D               A       (C#)      D
Daddy's little empire built by hand and built by slaves

          A             E              A
From the sky we look so organized and brave

        A              E               A
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt

  D                E               A        (G#)
Drunken tears and tugging at your skirt

   F#m             D                 A      (C#)     D
If only you could tell me then what part of you got hurt

        A              E               A
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
[Chorus]
 F#m     A               D    A
Take my hand baby we're over land 

        F#m         A               E
I know flying over water makes you cry

              F#m    A
Where's that liquor cart?

           D         A
Maybe we shouldn't start

   F#m               A             E
But I can't for the life of me say why
[Verse]
          A                E                  A
From the sky to highway straight as it could be

    D                      E              A    (G#)                           
A string pulled tight from home to Tennessee

  F#m                D                A    (C#)     D
Still somehow these ditches took the better part of me

          A               E                  A
From the sky to highway straight as it could be
[Chorus]
F#m      A               D     A
Take my hand baby we're over land 

       F#m          A               E
I know flying over water makes you cry

            F#m     A
Been in the sky so long

                D        A
Seems like the long way home

   F#m               A              E
But I can't for the life of me say why
[Bridge]
