B                      D
Yes, he wore a cowboy hat
A                        E
Each bone broken in his back
All the money and all the gold
Couldn't buy my love at eight years old
Now I'm in love with a girl that's wrong for me
Ask her, she will disagree
Her father was a small town man
With small time dreams and small town hands
But...

Chorus:
C G     D                   A      C
I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say I don’t know
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean
From year to year they always sold and bought.

Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter
What's that? Is that bad for me?
If I would set her conscience free
Won round one, but it's not over
He don't care cause he didn't know her
Too long it's not the same
If I could lend a hand in shame

Chorus:
But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact, but what does it mean?
Within a year, they always sold them, but...

E             G
You'll always be
So much easier to see
Don't hide from me
That which I've already seen
You lie to me
More than occasionally

              A
Don't lie to me
You lied to me

Bm      A                 G
I'm as high as I'll ever be
        Bm
I don't mind, stay and see
They've all gone, why don't we?
Lonely as you and me
But I'm as high as I'll ever be
Later on, last to see
My past is gone, only from me
I'm alive

Chorus

Remember when it was me
Driving has come down just for me
And then we'll try as we've been
