Intro/Verse: Riff Am Am E E G G E7-Am Riff (3x) (You don't play the riff before the Chorus)
The way a whiskey tingles downward
The way a storm can boil a sea
The way the summer makes everybody younger
That is how you work on me!
The way your freight train rocks the coal cars
The way a river carves its bed
The way a hand fits inside a pocket
That is how you live in my head.
Chorus: Am-E7 C C-G Am Am-E7 C Bm(Hold)
If I had known I would miss you like this
I would have made movies of every kiss.
Verse: Riff Am Am E E G G E7-Am Riff
The way a cloud engulfs a jet plane
The way a woman sips her tea
The way a song fills the atmosphere
That is how you work on me!

Verse: Riff Am E G E7 Am Riff
The way the wind can whip the branches
The way a kind word sets me free
After the rain, all the world is new again
