[Verse 1]
C
Saw her standing alone tonight
Em
The stage was a poem
Am F C
Holding words up to the bright light
C
And if you shook them right
Em
The snow would fall down
Am F C
And you could feel the winter in Carolina
C
And the crowd was quiet
Em
She was 10 feet tall
Am F C
A folk hero at her worst
C
And it all went down
Em
Just like big John
Am F C
When your hero’s not a champion
[Chorus]
Am F C
Nothing makes you want to cry
Am F C
Its a sure way to lead a miserable doubt
Am F C
Nothing makes you want to cry
Am F C
[Verse 2]
C
She said let’s move on
Em
So we all filed out
Am F C
And took one look at that city skyline
C
As if we’d been blind
Em
So now we’d see
Am F C
All this time how in love we’d been
C
And we felt alright
Em
We were 10 foot tall
Am F C
We were warming our hands with words
C
And the crowd was quiet
Em
When it all went down
Am F C
And you could feel the winter in Carolina
[Chorus]
Am F C
And nothing makes you want to cry
Am F C
Its a sure way to lead a miserable doubt
Am F C
Nothing makes you want to cry
Am F C
Its a sure way to find your doubt
Am F C
Nothing makes you want to cry
Am F C
