Intro: riff
D A G D slide

Verse

[G(2]Won’t say I love you, [D(2]babe
[G(2]Won’t say I need you, [D(2]babe
D(2) slide A
But I’m gonna get you, babe
And I[G] will not do you [D]wrong

Livin’s mostly wasting time
I waste my share of mine
But it never feels too good
So let’s don’t take too long

Chorus

Well you’r[G]e soft as [D]glass
And I’m a [G]gentlem[A]an
And we got[D] the skies to t[A]alk about
And the wo[G]rld to lie upon[D]

Riff


Days up and down they come
Like rain on a conga drum
Forget most, remember some
But don’t turn none away

Everything is not enough
Nothing is too much to bear
Where you’ve been is good and gone
All you keep is the gettin’ there

Well to live’s to fly
All low and high
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the sleep out of your eyes

It’s goodbye to all my friends
It’s time to go again
Just think on all the poetry
And the pickin’ down the line

I’ll miss the system here
The bottom’s low and the treble’s clear
But it don’t pay to think too much
About the things you leave behind

Well I may be gone
But it won’t be long
I’ll be a-bringing back the melodies
And the rhythm that I’ve found

We’ve all got holes to fill
Them holes are all that’s real
Some fall on you like a storm
Sometimes you dig your own

The choice is yours to make
And time is your to take
Some dive into the sea
Some toil upon the stone

Well to live’s to fly
All low and high
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the sleep out of your eyes

Yeah shake the dust off of your wings
And the tears out of your eyes

Riff; end on D
