[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A                          E
 Driving through West Virginia
F#m                         D  Dsus2
   And I've seldom been thinner
A                          E
 With that chip on my shoulder
F#m                           D       Dsus2
   And this past year I got so much older

[Pre-Verse]
A E F#m D Dsus2

[Verse 2]
A                    E
 Lookin' back over my life
F#m                           D    Dsus2
   Spent the most of it tongue tied
A                   E
 I wish I'd had more time
F#m              D              Dsus2
Listenin' to you speak your mind

[Chorus]
        A
Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday
E
On my mind, atypical way
F#m          D          Dsus2
   Are you a life force?
A
Thinkin' about her everyday
E
On my mind, atypical way
F#m          D          Dsus2
   Are you a life force?

[Banjo Solo]
A E F#m D Dsus2
A E F#m D Dsus2

[Verse 3]
A                          E
 Drinkin' coffee black as iron
F#m                           D Dsus2
   And I couldn't be much higher
A                         E
 Without fallin' out of my chair
F#m              D            Dsus2
Been so numb for so many years

[Chorus]
        A
Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday
E
On my mind, atypical way
F#m          D          Dsus2
   Are you a life force?
A
Thinkin' about her everyday
E
On my mind, atypical way
F#m          D          Dsus2
   Are you a life force?

[Bridge]
Bm            E
  And it's so easy
      A
To be blinded by the light
        F#m
To feel lonely in the night
Bm                    E
  This blowing in the breeze babe
      A
I got dust in my eyes
    F#m
And rust in my mind
        Bm
I'll be home come next spring
          E
Won't you say you love me later,
       A
by and by

[Verse 4]
A                    E
 Looking back over my life
F#m                     D          Dsus2
   Spent the most of it tongue tied
A               E
 Pullin' my belt tight
F#m                     D            Dsus2
   It's just me and the stars tonight

[Verse 5]
A                       E
 Two fingers and a tight line
F#m                       D     Dsus2
   Keep my head above the alpine
A                        E
 Just wish I'd spent more time
F#m              D
Listenin' to her speak her mind

[Chorus]
A
Thinkin' about her everyday
E
On my mind, atypical way
F#m          D          Dsus2
   Are you a life force?
A
Thinkin' about her everyday
E
On my mind, atypical way
F#m          D          Dsus2
   Are you a life force?
A
Thinkin' about her everyday
E
On my mind, atypical way
F#m          D          Dsus2
   Are you a life force?
A
Thinkin' about her everyday
E
On my mind, atypical way
F#m          D          Dsus2
   Are you a life force?
    A
For me?
