There was a mountain on the table of bills that needed paid

Emin                            C
Dishes in the kitchen sink like dreams that never fade.

G                   D 
A wild imagination, convicts in the yard,

Emin                           C
Never enough time to make ends meet

So they put it on a credit card, don't we all?

You may not know just where you came from, but once upon a time

         Emin                       C
There was a carpenter, a bartender, a broken fishing line.

G                            D                  
Just south of Royalty in the town that I came from,

          Emin           
There were architects and astronauts

       C                                       G D Emin C
But the only one she loved was a prison guard.     Uhm hm

And that's the only time I ever saw true love.

America's a girl I liked in Georgia

C             G           D
London kept me warm up in Eugene.

          G           D
I guess my mother bless her heart,

Emin                  G
Set the bar too high to start.

      Amin7             G              Emin
'Cause finding love for me is just too hard

[Interlude] G D Emin C 1x [Verse]
      G                             D        
There's a gate that needed painting, clothes that needed clean.

                 Emin                           C
They'd say there's time enough for that when the fun has all been seen.

                 G                        D
'Cause when we're laying on our death bed, a promise we won't say

 Emin                           C
Wish we would have worked more, baby 

                             G D     Emin C
Instead of loving you that way, no way.
[Chorus]
              Emin         Amin7          D 
And that's the only time I ever saw true love.
