Your cracked country lips

A vacuum, a scheme, babe

I can see that your head

You know you got nothing to win and nothing to lose

From fixtures and forces and friends

Your sorrow does stem

[Verse 5]
C
I’d forever talk to you
C
But soon my words

They would turn into a meaningless ring
G7
For deep in my heart
G7 | C | % | % | C/G |
I know there's no help I can bring
F
Everything passes everything changes
F | G | % | G6 | G7 |
Just do what you think you should do

And someday maybe who knows, baby
G7 C
I’ll come and be cryin’ to you
