Em A
I should've took you dancin
Em A D
A little candle light romancin', with roses
Em A
But I was high upon a bar stool
Em A D
I was such a blind fool, now I know it
D/C# B7 A G
You won't believe how much I've changed since you left
Em A
It took loosin' you, for me to find myself
Em A
Oh, I wish that you could see me
Em A D
Steady hands without the whiskey, you'd be so proud
Em A
Got that job down at the factory
Em A D
A brand new suit for Sunday, I'm in church now
D/C# B7 A G
It's been one year since I sat behind a bar
Em A
I went by the junk-yard, they've still got our car
D
I still see you on your knees
G
Beggin' me not to drive
A
But I took away the keys
D
And made you climb inside
D
An' I'd take your place in this field of stone
G
If I only had the power
Em
Look what it took
G A D
For me to finally bring you flowers
D
Oh, I'd take your place in this field of stone
G
If I only had the power
Em
Look what it took
G A D
For me to finally bring you flowers
Em
Just look what it took
G A D
For me to finally bring you flowers
