You've known me long enough to know

F D/F# Am7
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
F D/F# Am7
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
F D/F# Cadd9 A7 Cadd9
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
So I strayed (keep your head in the sky)
Til my bridges all burnt in a sneeze (leaving nothing behind)
And I'm holding by the skin of my teeth
She got me grinning like a karaoke king
Without a clue on how the thing begins
And that's where the hell I'll reside
In between the width of her smile
So if you spy me just let me be
I'm far beyond what you knew of me
You think it's so hard
Alone in the world
Yeah well just try keeping up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Em A7
You're never alone
Cadd9 G
It's you against the world
Em A7 D Ebdim
You're the uninvited oyster next to the pearl
Em Am7
The best lesson i've learned - oh yeah -
D6 Am7
Keepin up with a beautiful girl -
D6 Am7

D6 Am7
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl

Keepin' up with a beautiful girl

Verse 1:
Am Am/G Am/F
I woke up with the war in my head
E7sus4 E7
An old man's grumble, and an extra space in the bed
Am Am/G Am/F E7sus4
And if ole' John Prine, could sing the next line
E7
'Bout something that can make me smile
Bridge:

Stare at your baby photos till it makes sense
Dm G7
And were you ever mine, anyway?

Burn six thousand miles
Bm
Sorry for all the times
Dmaj7
I just can't add up all the songs

To find the damage we done
Verse 2:
I fought for you like a doll from a tree
I keep a straight stiched face
As the ground makes a bed for me
I keep my eye where I fell it sends no replies
Bridge 2:
You can run so long from sadness
That you're never at home for the fun
I can't make excuses for the short-hand abuses
Thank god it ain't a sunday night
Chorus:
I wrote down what I think
On the head of a matchstick
Wrote it all short and sweet
All that made sense to me
I burnt six thousand miles
Sorry for all the times
I just can't add up the songs
To find the damage...
I wrote down what I think
On the head of a matchstick
I wrote it all short and sweet
All that made sense to me
I'm burning out in the lights
Sorry for all the times
I just can't see how it comes
To find the damage we done
The damage we done
The damage we done

but you just not sure if you're ever gonna get thru this yaer alone
he don't hold your hand
yeah just when you need
yeah, but you're sure that twinkle in his eye is just there for you but you
can't ignore
that he sure look slike your dad when he can still look straight at night
when he tucks you in and kisses your belly, and strokes your hair so you
just don't cry
leaves...
you sure wish you knew
who was on the half back flank
back twenty years when you won those flags on back to back
would sure make the stand-off make more sense
if yo ucould stand toe-to-toe on who took the bench
and not htis silent treatment that leaves you wondering if this baby's
heaven sent
it was the way she put her hand on her hip
and the sparkle in her eye
but you wonder if it's gonna be there all the time
