[Verse 1]
D A
I know that you are near me, maybe now more so than ever I could find you
D
I know you're 22 feet tall and you walk around with angels beside you
And if you passed me on the street you would be there just like the breeze and then I'll
A
miss ya
D
But i know coming soon I'll see you dancing on the moon my sweet Miranda
[Verse 2]
D A
We could fly away to Jupiter and spend a couple years out in the darkness
D
Or we could maybe find the ocean where the sands of desperation never breed
A
I would stare into your Russian eyes so easily you captivate my motion
D
For the aching in my heart is only constant when my mind is in a dream
[Chorus]

Cause I can't have you
A
No, I can't have you
G
You know I want you
D
But I cannot have you
[Verse 3]
D A
Summer comes around again and I can see you dancing in the tall grass
D
I remember in old hickory when Madeleine and Shakey used to chase us
A
You would take the high road over Casper and I'd see you in the morning, yes I would

Another memory I've tried to shake away but sure enough it's back to haunt me, why...
[Chorus]
D
Cause I can't have you
A
No, I can't have you
G
You know I want you
D
But I cannot have you
[Verse 4]
D A
I wake up in the clouds again so I can see Miranda off to college
D
She says to meet me in the garden, I'll be there to beg your pardon finally
A
Don't you ever let me go you know I love you when you sing to me so quiet
D
If it were up to me I'd never leave old hickory, but it's not up to me
A D
If it were up to me I'd never leave old hickory, but it's just not up to me
