[Intro 1]
[G][Em][Bm][G][Em][Bm]
[G][Em][Bm][G][Em][Bm]

[Verse 1]
You can [G]put them on the [Em]counter
There [Bm]with all the other flowers
And help me fig[G]ure out [Em]how to
turn off this [Bm]TV
I'm [G]glad you made the vis[Em]it
And if you [Bm]think you have a minute
You should [Am]sit a[D]nd talk
until it's time to [G]leave

[Verse 2]
Is my [G]granddaugh[Em]ter Ruthie
Still [Bm]working at the movies?
Does [G]she still let all her boy
[Em]friends in for [Bm]free?
Does she still [G]stare out
of the front [Em]door
As she's [Bm]serving people popcorn
And talk [Am]about how [D]nice today
was supposed [G]to be?

[Verse 3]
[Am]Ohh [Em]h hh,[D] That's the[C] love that
I came to bear [G]witness to
[Am]Ohhh[D]hh, And [C]the love I'm taking with
me when I [G]go
[Em][Bm][G][Em]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
Did you [G]notice walking [Em]over
At the [Bm]house down at the corner
There's a [G]dog behind a win
[Em]dow that doesn't m[Bm]ove
I've seen [G]him staring [Em]in the mornings
I've seen [Bm]him staring in the evenings
As [Am]if time stops [D]'til his
master's in the [G]room

[Verse 5]
[Am]Ohhh[D]hh, That's t[C]he love that I
came to bear [G]witness to
[Am]Ohhhh[Em]h, An[D]d the [C]love I'm taking with me when
I [G]go

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][Bm][G][Em][Bm]
[G][Em][Bm][G][Em][Bm]

[Verse 6]
Some [G]nights get [Em]worse than others
And I start [Bm]thinking about
your mother
And she's here with [G]me
[Em]as far as I can tell[Bm]
As if [G]the world revealed [Em]its secret
And it's [Bm]asking me to keep it
Like a [Am]kid that [D]hears the ocean
in [G]a shell

[Verse 7]
And that's the [C]love that I came
to bear [G]witness to
[C]And the love I'm taking with me when I
[G]go

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Em][D][C][G]
[Am][D][C][G]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Ohhh[D]hh, That's the l[C]ove that I
came to bear [G]witness to
[Am]Ohhhhh, [D]And [C]the love I'm taking with
me when I [G]go
