[Verse 1]
Em G C
I was smiling like a boy that just stole shit
G C
When you told me you would hold it
G
My late mama's ring
D Em G C G
And I'd sneak away at the end of each day
C G
To write sonnets for you, I could sing
D Em G
It was cold in October
C G
When you rolled yourself over
C G D
To pull on my shoulder to say
Em G C G
It took a mighty long time and too much wasted wine
C G D
To find a man who looks at me this way
[Chorus]
Em
But I'd fight any roughneck,
G
I'd stop any river
C G D
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
Em
In the grips of a woman
G
Send shivers down spines
C G D
Makes you recall your forgotten good times
[Verse 2]
Em G
When you wake in the morning
C G
To the sound of me snoring
C G D
My ragged face by your side
Em G
Pray that you know
C G
All my dreams and my hopes
C G D
Have you holding me the day that I die
Em G C G
And I know I'm nothing but I am not bluffing
C G D
When I say you're meant for the sky
Em G C G
'Cause beauty that holy and a heart so kind
C G D
Deserves a place it can fly
[Chorus]
Em
But I'd fight any roughneck,
G
I'd stop any river
C G D
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
Em
In the grips of a woman
G
Send shivers down spines
C G D
Makes you recall your forgotten good times
[Bridge]
Em
Yeah I'd fight any roughneck,
G
I'd stop any river
C G D
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
Em
In the grips of a woman
G
Send shivers down spines
C G D
Makes you recall your forgotten good times
