Flying Over Water

G

[Verse 1]
D G
   From the sky,
G           D            G
 we look so organized and brave
C                  D             G      D/F#
Walls that make up barricades and graves
Em7              C
Daddy's little empire,
         G                 C
built by hands and built by slaves
From the sky,
G           D            G
 we look so organized and brave

[Verse 2]
           G          D
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
G C                 D              G     D/F#
  Drunken tears and tugging at your skirt
   Em7                C
If only you could tell me then,
         G          C
what part of you got hurt
           G          D                   G D/F#
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt

[Chorus]
Em7     G                 C    G
Take my hand, baby, we're over land
       Em7         G              D
I know flying over water makes you cry
             Em7         G
Where's that liquor cart?
         C         G
Maybe we shouldn't start
    Em7                  G         D
But I  can't for the life of me say why

[Post-Chorus]
G D G D/F# Em7 D

[Verse 3]
C
 From the sky,
G              D
 the highway's straight as it could be
G  C                            D            G D/F#
 A string pulled tight from home to Tennessee
Em7
Still somehow,
      C              G             C
those ditches took a better part of me
From the sky,
G              D                      G
 the highway's straight as it could be

[Chorus]
Em7     G                 C    G
Take my hand, baby, we're over land
       Em7         G              D
I know flying over water makes you cry
            Em7        G
Been in the sky so long
             C        G
Seems like a long way home
    Em7                  G         D
But I  can't for the life of me say why

[Bridge]
           Am           Em7
Do we leave  our love behind?
Am Em7              Am           Em7
      Would we leave  our love behind?
D            Am           Em7
 Did we leave  our love behind?
Am Em7              Am           Em7  D
      Would we leave  our love behind?

Take my hand, baby, we're over land
D/F#     Em7         G              D
I   know flying over water makes you cry
            Em7        G
Been in the sky so long

       Did we leave  our love behind?
