G C9 Em7 D Dsus2 D

Daisies stand up on their tiptoes

G C9 Em7 D Dsus2 D

And clouds stumble over themselves in the sky

G C9 Em7 D Dsus2 D

And all the pretty horses come runnin' to her

G C9 Em7

And even the dust devils pray

D Dsus2 D G C9 Em7 D Dsus2 D

That they'll catch her eye

Riff 1

I haunt her house from the outside

I watch her bake cornbread and talk on the phone

And the wireless on the inside plays a sad, sweet song

A mute moonlit statue am I

She waltzes alone

Riff 1

Chorus:

Em Bm G Bm

But baby, baby, I could call you baby

Em Bm G Bm

If I weren't so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue

Am Bm C Bm

And baby, baby, I could call you baby

C D

If I weren't so green and dumb

Riff 1 (x2)

The wind ain't stopped blowin' since mornin'

It's got me froze up on the inside

And I could get warm in the bunkhouse

Thaw out on coffee and bread

Chorus

G G G G

I need your government warnin'

Like I need a hole in my head

But I won't shoot your coyotes, and I won't burn your weeds

G C9 Em7 D Dsus2 D Em Bm G C D

Your paycheck won't fill up this hollow, won't dull all the a - chin'

Chorus
