Intro G - C - G 

verse 1 

G                 
If you're looking for her, 

she's right down the road. 
           Cadd9 
She'll be sitting on a swing in the sun 
                         G 
making stones turn into gold. 
         D                        Cadd9 
Let her know that the family she knew 
                      G 
keeps her locket and keys. 
          D 
Tell her everything is fine 
           Cadd9                          G 
and she's missed like the winds miss the trees. 


verse 2 

G 
And if you're searching for her, 

she's out shedding light. 
          Cadd9 
She's the one you can't miss 
                                          G 
'cause her smile makes the sun seem less bright. 
            D 
But if you find her, be still 
          Cadd9                            G 
tell her everything about the time you've killed. 
         D                           Cadd9 
Let her know that the bad times will pass 
                     G 
and I miss her like hell. 

Cadd9         G 
Tell her I'm lost, 
              D 
but that's alright, 
              Em              D           Cadd9            G 
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line. 
      Em            D                Cadd9       G 
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight. 


verse 3 

G 
If you're searching for worth, 

you'll find it with her, 
           Cadd9 
but she'll ask for your trust 
                                     G 
'cause it's hard being shown how to learn. 
            D                          Cadd9 
So let her know that the stars haven't moved; 
                         G 
God, I hope they're the same. 
          D 
Tell her life could be worse, 
         Cadd9                 G 
and I'm trying my best now to change. 

Cadd9         G 
Tell her I'm lost, 
             D 
but that's alright, 
               Em             D            Cadd9           G 
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line. 
      Em            D                Cadd9       G 
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight. 


verse 3 

G 
But if it's after the dawn, 

be sure you're alone, 
                 Cadd9                                                 G 
'cause she's the kind best enjoyed like a pool under cottonwoods and stones. 
             D 
So let her laugh wash you clean, 
         Cadd9                        G  
like the rains on the tilted window panes. 
            D 
Give her everything and more, 
           Cadd9                    G 
and she'll give you the world in exchange. 

Cadd9         G 
Tell her I'm lost, 
              D 
but that's alright, 
               Em              D          Cadd9            G 
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line. 
        Em          D                Cadd9        G 
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight. 


Bridge 

              Em 
And tell her everything is good, 
      Cadd9                    G       D 
but I miss how her eyes would take me home. 
              Em          
And tell her life is getting faster 
      Cadd9                        G       D 
and I miss the way she'd make you move so slow. 
             Em 
And tell her how I'm still alive 
          Cadd9                         G 
and how I wish I was something I could boast. 
           Em 
'Cause I'm up in the sky now 
        Cadd9                          G 
and the stars have never seemed this close. 

Cadd9         G 
Tell her I'm lost, 
              D 
but that's alright, 
               Em              D           Cadd9           G 
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line. 
        Em          D                Cadd9        G 
Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight. 


Outro 

G 
So if you're searching for love, 

she's right down the road. 
           Cadd9 
She'll be sitting on a swing in the sun 
                       G 
making stones turn to gold.
