GOOD INTENTIONS PAVING COMPANY C F Twenty miles left to the shore Am F Hello my old country, hello C G Stars are just beginning to appear Dm And I have never in my life before been here C F And it's my heart, not me, who cannot ply Am F That base conclusion you may write C G Watching me sit here bolt upright and cry Dm For no good reason at the Eastern sky C And the tilt of this strange nation Bb And the will to remain for the duration Am Bb Waving the flag, feeling it drag C Like a bump on a bump on a log, baby Bb Like I'm in a fist fight with the fog, baby Am Step-ball-change and a pirouette Bb And .. and I regret, I regret G How I said to you, honey, just open your heart F C When I've got trouble even opening a honey jar Bb And that right there is where we are C F And I been 'fessing double fast Am F Addressing questions nobody asks C G I'll get this joy off of my chest at last Dm And I will love you 'til the noise has long since passed C F And I did not mean to shout, just drive Am F Just get us out, get home alive C G A road too long to mention holds us up from the sea Dm Laid down by the good intentions paving company C All the weight of the thing we've been playing at, darlin' Bb I can see that you're wearing your staying hat, darlin' Am For the time being all is well Bb C This is blindness beyond all conceiving Bb Well, behind us the road is leaving, yeah, leaving Am And falling back Bb Like a rope gone slack G And the sauce strayed away but the ladle will stay F C But I fell for you, honey, as easy as falling asleep Bb And that right there is the course I keep... C D And no amount of talking F C Is going to soften the fall Bb F But, like after the rain, step out G Am Of the overhang, that's all C D It had a nice a ring to it F C When the old opera house rang Bb F So with a song I'm all ran G Am "Signed, sealed, delivered" I sang C D And there is hesitation F C And it always remains Bb C Concerning you, me, G Am And the rest of the gang C D And in a quiet hour F C I feel I see everything Bb F And am in love with the hook G Am Upon which everyone hangs C D And I know you meant to show the extent F C To which you gave a god dang Bb F It rings real hot and real cold but I'm sold G Am I am home on that range Bb F And I do hate to fold G Am Right here at the top of my game Bb F When I've been trying with my whole heart and soul G Am To stay right here in the right lane Bb F But it can make you feel over and old G Lord, you know it's a shame Am Bb F When I only want for you to pull over and hold me G Am 'Til I can't remember my own name C, F, Am, F C, G, Dm C, Bb, Am, Bb C, Bb, Am, Bb C, Bb, Am, Bb C, Bb, Am, Bb C
