Intro D C G D x3 D C G Verse 1 D C G D Tell your mama I love her D C G D Tell your daddy I tried D C G D Tell them I wish that I could explain D C G The way that I'm feeling See the sun comes up on the pavement The pavement it starts to sweat The steam rises up from the water And the hotter it is you know the harder it gets [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/l/lyle-lovett/319331.html ] Chorus C G D G And it ought to be easier C G D When you turn your lights down low C G D G G And it ought to be easier D C G D To leave when you know that you have to go Verse 2 I know you don't believe me And I know you don't understand But honey the way that you treat me I can't even tell who I am And you tell me I'm the one you're not to blame And you tell me I make you feel the same way And we talk in circles but we never say It's just out of weakness that both of us stay Chorus Bridge - (Played to chorus chords) I look at you when you're sleeping And I think about how it could be If you would wake up and open your arms And hold me Verse 3 But you look at me when you wake up With eyes that are angry and mean And I turn away and walk into the kitchen And I pray for the strength to leave Chorus To leave when you know that you have to go Repeat first verse The hotter it is you know the harder it gets The hotter it is you know the harder it gets |
