[Verse 1]
Am
  Well,
        F         C               G               Am
the buildin's out in Brooklyn are taller than the clouds
           F         C       G
And I don't like who I am Sunday mornin',
  Am
comin' down
     F      C           G              Am
Tequila out in Texas is tougher on the tongue
         F          C          G           Am
Than the devil that I met in Oklahoma when I's young

[Verse 2]
Am            F       C       G             Am
  I miss that old ball cap you stole from me
           F            C         G             Am
Out in the woods around a fire in Eastern Tennessee
        F            C          G              Am
And the beatin' that I got from them boys in Baton Rouge
      F          C                G            Am
Was nothin' like the beatin' that I got from loving you
                  F
Take me back to us then

[Chorus]
                     C
Where the time's told true
                G
And the sun does shine on a lawn chair holding you
Am                  F
  Take me back to us then
                          C
Where there's a warm, warm light
                G
Radiatin' off a cheap smile
                           Am
Oh, ma, I could die tonight

[Verse 3]
Am              F         C        G            Am
  And that creek we jumped in while you were shakin' cold
    F           C               G            Am
I never thought such heat would grow dry and old
      F         C            G            Am
Takes blood and guts just to get to where we were
      F        C
Put on your dancin' shoes,
     G              Am
I'll be him and you be her
                  F
Take me back to us then

[Chorus]
                     C
Where the time's told true
                G
And the sun does shine on a lawn chair holding you
Am                  F
  Take me back to us then
                          C
Where there's a warm, warm light
                G
Radiatin' off a cheap smile
                           Am
Oh, ma, I could die tonight
                  F
Take me back to us then

[Outro]
                    C
There's a warm, warm light
                G
Radiatin' off a cheap smile
                           Am
Oh, ma, I could die tonight
