Sweet In Louisville

C G Am F C G F You'd hung a map and thrown a dart or so we say when you depart, and I skipped work to say goodbye. C G Am F C G C And while you had your car inspection done, a poetic wax on Lexington, and you refused to look me in the eye G Am F C G F And I wouldn't hear from you before you passed over the New River Gorge, and you found time to let me know C G Am F C G It's rare for you to be up more than down, but as you crossed into Morgantown, you knew the mountains were C your home. F C G Am But you think two days will do, you're just under so much pressure, like if it were up to you, you F G just let all of it go, F C G F C and everything you knew never seemed so unimportant, but we're all waiting for you. G Am F C G F Just how you got to Santa Fe, you did not post, so I cannot say, but you filled in some blanks for me C G Am F C G C when you stopped to recuperate in an Amarillo Super 8, you were tired and not the way you'd hoped to be. G Am F C Admitted you prayed for a tire to blow out, so you'd have something to write about, but your luck G F just never seems to change. C G Am F C G C Some Samaritans you canonized beneath the vast Montana skies, but you had no reason to be saved. F C G Am But you confess you've had a few, it's so cheap out in the desert, but there's little else to do, F G so you thought you'd just check in. Am F G F C Did you need a witness to a little momentary rapture? You know I'm always here for you. C G Am F C G F C G Am F C G C G Am F I'm sure the great river ran across your hands with a shiny kiss and no demands, C G F or at least that's how you'll remember it, C G Am F and every little church sang sweet in Louisville, with the right foundation and your mother's approval, C G C and those notes that I could never hit. F C G Am But if you should ask me to, well I guess I could regale you with all the things I found to do, F G while you go split the world in two. Am F G Am F G But to tell the truth, I guess I was kind of hoping you'd kept track of me the way that I kept track of you. F C G Am F G What good is apathy if I can't make you believe it? What good is anything if I can't make you believe? Chorus 4 F C G Am F G What good is apathy if I can't make you believe it? What good is anything if I can't make you believe? F C G Am F G What good is apathy if I can't make you believe it? What good is anything if I can't make you believe? Am F G Ooooooo, Ooooooo, Ooooooo Am F G Ooooooo, Ooooooo, Ooooooo
