It was one hundred degrees as we sat beneath a willow tree,
Em7 A7 C G Em7 A7 C G
Whose tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to fall.
Em7 A7 C G Em7 A7 C G
And I knew I'd made horrible call. And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,
Em7 A7 C G Em7 A7 C G
And there was no doubt about which side I was on. Hmmm.....

'Cause I built you a home in my heart
Em Em(maj7) Em7 A7
with rotten wood--it decayed from the start

'Cause you can't find nothing at all,
C G D
If there was nothing there all along.
C G D
No you can't find nothing at all,

I braved treacherous streets, and kids strung out on homemade speed
Em7 A7 C G Em7 A7 C G
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep at all, woo-hoo, woo-hoo

'Cause at night the sun in retreat made the skyline look like crooked teeth,

In the mouth of a man who was devouring us both

Chorus, play last D 2 measures
A7 (hold 2) B7 (hold 2)
I'm a war, of head versus heart,
Em7 (hold 2) A7 (hold 2)
It's always this way.
A7 (hold 2) B7 (hold 2)
My head is weak, my heart always speaks,
Em7 (hold 2) A7 (2)
Before I know what it will say.

There was nothing there all along.
