Quiet Heavy Dreams

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
           C
Mighty long shifts are for working
            G          Am
Heavy dreams are for toting around
F                    C
Let's pretend there's a place to go
            G               C
Where I can lay this hacksaw down
And I've been trying all my damnedest
            G                 Am
To get where a kind woman lies
F              C
Ten more hours to a twelve long shift
           G                 C
'Til these woods turn to her eyes
The timber cuts so cleanly
          G                   Am
Monday morning when the blades  are sharp
  F               C
I get a love song stuck in my head
          G               C
And cut sequoia 'til it's dark

[Chorus]
           F            C                   G      Am
If every hour's fourteen dollars or a chance closer  to her
     F           C
Then I'm not just a working mule,
        G             Am
I'm the finest of the herd
    F           C                G          Am
And I don't know who she is or if she might exist
    F             C                 G                 C
But if she does I swear to love I'm destined for that kiss

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
        C
How's a man get so homesick
      G               Am
For a face he's never seen?
  F             C
I close my eyes while sweating
                 G               C
And think of boys I could've been
But I know that it's not over
             G                 Am
'Cause I can feel her here somewhere
F                  C
Through these trees and melodies
         G              C
That I'm belting to the air

[Chorus]
           F            C                   G      Am
If every hour's fourteen dollars or a chance closer  to it
    F                C         G           Am
The man I thought I'd be when I was just a kid
       F         C                    G       Am
So I'll just saw away and let them all fall to  the ground
        F                   C
Hope to heaven someone hears me
           G          C
Even though no one's around

[Bridge]

[Outro]
           C
Mighty long shifts are for working
            G                Am/E
Quiet dreams are for toting around
F                       C
Let's pretend there's a place to go
            G               C
Where I can lay this hacksaw down
