Intro G 



G                    D 
Driving through West Virginia 
Em                    C 
 And I've seldom been thinner 
G                     D 
 With that chip on my shoulder 
Em                        C 
 And this past year I got so much older 

( G  D  Em  C ) 



G                  D 
 Looking back over my life 
Em                    C 
 Spent the most of it tongue-tied 
G                 D 
 And I wish I had more time 
Em               C 
Listening to you speak your mind 



        G 
Now I'm thinking 'bout her every day 
D 
On my mind atypical way 
Em         C 
 Are you a life force 
G 
Thinking 'bout her every day 
D 
On my mind atypical way 
Em         C 
 Are you a life force

G                        D 
Drinking coffee black as iron 
Em                      C 
 And I couldn't be much higher 
G                       D 
 Without falling out of my chair 
Em                    C 
I've been so numb for so many years 



        G 
Now I'm thinking 'bout her every day 
D 
On my mind atypical way 
Em         C 
 Are you a life force 
G 
Thinking 'bout her every day 
D 
On my mind atypical way 
Em         C           Am 
 Are you a life force 



            D 
And it's so easy 
      G 
To be blinded by the light 
        Em                  Am 
To feel lonely in the night 
                        D 
And it's blowing in the breeze babe 
      G 
I got dust in my eyes 
    Em 
And rust in my mind 
        Am 
I'll be home come next spring 
          D 
Won't you say you love me later 
       G

G                  D 
 Looking back over my life 
Em                    C 
 Spent the most of it tongue-tied 
G           D 
 Pulling my belt tight 
Em                    C 
 It's just me and the stars tonight 
G                  D 
 Two fingers and a tide line 
Em                      C 
 Keep my head above the alpine 
G                    D 
 Just wish I'd spent more time 
Em               C 
Listening to her speak her mind 



        G 
Now I'm thinking 'bout her every day 
D

 Are you a life force 
   G 
To me
