My Only Trouble

	  		
verse 1 

G 
Once we stretched out so fair 
My hand here, your mouth there 
      C            Em 
As the fog stepped around us 
         C 
There was hay in your hair. 

       G 
And the salt of our skin  
Brined the clay there within 
       C               Em 
It was mine that would harden 
   C 
And then cease to bend. 

G 
When my only trouble 
When my only trouble 
C            D 
When my only trouble 
G 
Is you. 


verse 2 

G 
Now I stand at the wood 
Where the wind bends the pines 
       C                Em 
And the place where you loved me 
          C 
Wears the mark of our spines. 

G 
But when spring still shows 
Brings the tulip and the rose 
      C                Em 
Well, then no one will pity 
  C 
A girl in the throes. 

G 
When my only trouble? 

G 
Now I won't scorn the god 
Who had thickened the fog, 
    C                      Em 
He's the one that brings the thunder 
    C 
When that's all I've got.
