Chords

[Intro] G [Verse]
          G             D               G
From the sky we look so organized and brave

 Em7                C               G
Walls that make up barricades and graves

Em             C                G                  C
Daddy's little empire built by hand and built by slaves

          G             D              G     G
From the sky we look so organized and brave
[Verse]
        G              D               G
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt

  Em7               C                G
Drunken tears and tugging at your skirt

   Em              C                 G               C
If only you could tell me then what part of you got hurt

        G              D               G
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
[Chorus]
Em       G              C     G
Take my hand baby we're over land

       Em7          G               D
I know flying over water makes you cry

              Em     G
Where's that liquor cart?

           C         G
Maybe we shouldn't start

   Em                G              D
But I can't for the life of me say why
[Bridge]
        Am             Em     Am  Em
Did we leave our love behind?

        Am             Em     D
Did we leave our love behind?

        Am             Em     Am Em
Did we leave our love behind?

        Am             Em     D
Did we leave our love behind?
[Verse]
          G                D                  G
From the sky to highway straight as it could be

    Em7                     C             G
A string pulled tight from here to Tennessee

  Em                 C                G              C
Still somehow these ditches took the better part of me

          G                D                  G
From the sky to highway straight as it could be
  [Chorus]
Em      G               C     G
Take my hand baby we're over land

       Em           G               D
I know flying over water makes you cry

            Em      G
Been in the sky so long

                C        G
Seems like the long way home

   Em               G              D
But I can't for the life of me say why
[Bridge]
        Am             Em     Am  Em
Did we leave our love behind?

        Am             Em     D
Did we leave our love behind?

        Am             Em     Am Em
Did we leave our love behind?

        Am             Em     D G
Did we leave our love behind?
