Good Intentions Paving Company Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

CTwenty miles left to theF show

AmHello, my old country, hFello

CStars are just beginning to aGppear

 And I have never in my life befoDre been here

CAnd it's my heart, not mFe, who cannot drive

AmAt which conclusion you Farrived

CWatching me sit here bolt uprGight and cry

 For no good reason at the EasterDming sky

 And the tilt of this strange natCion

 And the will to remain for the dA♯uration

 Waving the fAmlag

 Feeling it A♯drag

 Like a bump on a bump on a Clog, baby

 Like I'm in a fist fight with a A♯fog, baby

 Step-ball-change and a pirouAmette

 And I reA♯gret, I regret

 How I saGid to you, "honey, just open your heart"

 When I'vFe got trouble even opening a honey Cjar

 And that right there is where weA♯ are...

CAnd I been 'fessing doubFle fast

AmAddressing questions nobFody asked

CI'll get this joy off of my Gchest at last

 And I will love you 'til the Dmnoise has long since passed

(same as just above)

And I did not mean to shout, just drive

Just get us out, dead or alive

A road too long to mention, lord, it's something to see!

Laid down by the good intentions paving company

 All the way to the thing we've been playCing at, darlin'

 I can see that you're wearing your stayiA♯ng hat, darlin'

 For the time being all isAm well

 Won't you love me a A♯spell?

(same as just above)

This is blindness beyond all conceiving

Well, behind us the road is leaving, yeah, leaving

And falling back

Like a rope gone slack

 Well, I Gsaw straight away that the lay was steep

 But I feFll for you, honey, as easy as falling asCleep

 And that right there is the courA♯se I keep...

CAnd no amount of Dtalking

 Is going to sFoften the fCall

 But, like after the A♯rain, Fstep out

 Of the oGverhAmang, that's all

It had a nice a ring to it

When the ol' opry house rang

So with a solemn auld lang

Signed, sealed, delivered, I sang

And there is hesitation

And it always remains

Concerning you, me,

And the rest of the gang

And in our quiet hour

I feel I see everything

And am in love with the hook

Upon which everyone hangs

And I know you meant to show the extent

To which you gave a goddang

You ranged real hot and real cold but I'm sold

I am home on that range

A♯And I do hate toF fold

 Right here at thGe top of my gameAm

 When I've been trying with my whA♯ole heart and soFul

 To stay Gright here in the right Amlane

 But it can make you feelA♯ over and old F

 Lord, you Gknow it's a shAmame

 When I only want for youA♯ to pull over and hold mFe

 'Til I can't remGember my own namAme
