Mary Chapin Carpenter – Sometimes Just The Sky (Guitar)

C
Noises in my head

              Em
And endless should-haves rain

       G
On me like a storm

       D
Like a hurricane

C
Losses piled up like wood

        Em
Stacked stories high

      G
Feels like I've been framed

       D
I have no alibi

       C  
Used to be that all I needed

            G              D
Was what I didn't possess

        C
Yearning makes you who you

           G            D
End up as, more or less

        C
Whatever choice I made that worked out

            Em
Was just a lucky guess

       G             D
Just a lucky guess

C
Adventures half-discarded

          Em
Half held onto now

        G
dancing on the ledge

         D
To the edge somehow

       C
I can still pick out the faces

          Em
Though I forget the names

               G
And places that I've gone

         D
But the urge remains

        C
To throw caution to the wind

               G          D
Or is it to the stars?

         C
To hold out my open hands

             G        D
Despite my empty arms

           C
To wear my heart down on my sleeve

           Em
Just like a battle scar

     G                   D
These are battle scars

C
There's comfort in a late night

          Em
Kitchen's radio

         G
And in a letter sent

D
Lists of what you know

          C
When you don't know anything

           Em
You make another one

             G
It's good to write it down

        D
Starting with the sun

              C
And sometimes church bells, trees and seasons

         G             D
Marking times gone by

            C
Sometimes starlings swell, some tidal moons

        G          D
And filled up eyes

          C
Sometimes everything at once

              Em
But sometimes just the sky

         G             D
Sometimes just the sky
