GOOD INTENTIONS PAVING COMPANY
C F
Twenty miles left to the shore
Am F
Hello my old country, hello
C G
Stars are just beginning to appear
Dm
And I have never in my life before been here
C F
And it's my heart, not me, who cannot ply
Am F
That base conclusion you may write
C G
Watching me sit here bolt upright and cry
Dm
For no good reason at the Eastern sky
C
And the tilt of this strange nation
Bb
And the will to remain for the duration
Am Bb
Waving the flag, feeling it drag
C
Like a bump on a bump on a log, baby
Bb
Like I'm in a fist fight with the fog, baby
Am
Step-ball-change and a pirouette
Bb
And .. and I regret, I regret
G
How I said to you, honey, just open your heart
F C
When I've got trouble even opening a honey jar
Bb
And that right there is where we are
C F
And I been 'fessing double fast
Am F
Addressing questions nobody asks
C G
I'll get this joy off of my chest at last
Dm
And I will love you 'til the noise has long since passed
C F
And I did not mean to shout, just drive
Am F
Just get us out, get home alive
C G
A road too long to mention holds us up from the sea
Dm
Laid down by the good intentions paving company
C
All the weight of the thing we've been playing at, darlin'
Bb
I can see that you're wearing your staying hat, darlin'
Am
For the time being all is well
Bb
C
This is blindness beyond all conceiving
Bb
Well, behind us the road is leaving, yeah, leaving
Am
And falling back
Bb
Like a rope gone slack
G
And the sauce strayed away but the ladle will stay
F C
But I fell for you, honey, as easy as falling asleep
Bb
And that right there is the course I keep...
C D
And no amount of talking
F C
Is going to soften the fall
Bb F
But, like after the rain, step out
G Am
Of the overhang, that's all
C D
It had a nice a ring to it
F C
When the old opera house rang
Bb F
So with a song I'm all ran
G Am
"Signed, sealed, delivered" I sang
C D
And there is hesitation
F C
And it always remains
Bb C
Concerning you, me,
G Am
And the rest of the gang
C D
And in a quiet hour
F C
I feel I see everything
Bb F
And am in love with the hook
G Am
Upon which everyone hangs
C D
And I know you meant to show the extent
F C
To which you gave a god dang
Bb F
It rings real hot and real cold but I'm sold
G Am
I am home on that range
Bb F
And I do hate to fold
G Am
Right here at the top of my game
Bb F
When I've been trying with my whole heart and soul
G Am
To stay right here in the right lane
Bb F
But it can make you feel over and old
G
Lord, you know it's a shame
Am Bb F
When I only want for you to pull over and hold me
G Am
'Til I can't remember my own name
C, F, Am, F
C, G, Dm
C, Bb, Am, Bb
C, Bb, Am, Bb
C, Bb, Am, Bb
C, Bb, Am, Bb
C
