Chords

A very simple 3 chord song by John Hiatt but a really really nice song. From the CD "Crossing Muddy Waters". My first tab so I wanted to do an easy one. This is a perfect song for those just starting with guitar. Listen to the CD, it's a fairly easy melody to sing. Pure John Hiatt...simple yet meaningful.

When it's lying there with a busted heart

       G                    A      D
Like a piece of glass where do you start

      G             A       D
Do we pick it up or say goodbye

         G                 D     A
Is there one tear left for us to cry

What if I can't stay what if you can't stay

          G                   A         D
What if I can't leave what if you can't leave 

D                        A
What if I believed every word you say

        G              A   D
What if you believed until today

      G                A        D
Do we call the kids or call the cops

        G                  D       A
Can you hold me 'till this howling stops

Gimme back my steel, gimme back my nerve

      G                     A          D
Gimme back my youth for the dead man's curve

D                          A
For that icy feel when you start to swerve

        G                A     D
Give us back the love we don't deserve

G                          A        D
'cause we rode it long, we drove it hard

       G                 D   A
And we wrecked it in our own backyard
