Journey to the Center of Your Heart Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[G]l, you walked that
valley's grassy floor
And [D]climbed that hilly ridge

[Verse 2]
[D]You stood there naked stung with fear
And [G]tippy- toed on the edge

[Verse 3]
Well, you [G]swung on a vine
You crawled in the dirt and made
The [D]river your best friend

[Verse 4]
You [D]ate ev'rything from a skunk to perch
And [G]filled me up with Zen

[Verse 5]
Well, you [Em]went to acapella
And you sang Acapulco,
[A]danced on a coin
[C]You tied six Mexicans up in chains
Then [D]hitch- hiked to Des Moines

[Verse 6]
You put the [G]tube in the tub
When you joined a club
And took the [D]soles off your shoes

[Verse 7]
But, [D]baby, there's one thing
you forgot to [F]do[C][G]

[Verse 8]
You got to [C]love me

[Verse 9]
[C]More than the trees and stars
high [G]above me

[Verse 10]
You got to [C]love me
[A]Love me

[Verse 11]
[D]Love me all the [C]time[G]
[D]If you wanna be

[Verse 12]
[G]mine[D][Em]
[F](whh heeewww) Well, you

[Verse 13]
[G]
turned my pockets inside out
And my [D]inside upside down

[Verse 14]
Took [D]fourteen reds and shaved
your head and
Let a [G]semi run you down

[Verse 15]
You [G]filed your teeth and
chromed your feet
Shot a [D]fifteen under par

[Verse 16]
Prayed [D]thirteen days in eighteen ways
[G]Then gurued in a bar

[Verse 17]
Well you [Em]slipped me a Mickey
And you read James Dickey
[A]Drank up all my wine

[Verse 18]
You [C]did all that then drowned a bat
And [D]bought a Wurlitzer on time

[Verse 19]
You ate [G]barbecued stork
with a spoon and a
Fork in a [D]second hand fun'ral plot

[Verse 20]
But [D]baby, there's one thing
that you for[F]got[C][G]

[Verse 21]
You got to [C]love me

[Verse 22]
[C]More than the trees and stars
high [G]above me

[Verse 23]
You got to [C]love me
[A]Love me

[Verse 24]
[D]Love me all the [C]time[G]
[D]If you want to be

[Verse 25]
[G]mine

[Verse 26]
(MANDOLIN SOLO) I've been alone [D]a long
time now
And it seems like [G]forever
It's not that I wanna be
It's just [D]that all them things in there
[G]Together - bother [Em]me[A]
[C]guess it's [D]culture[G]
[D]
Ahhhhhh if you'd only come [F]back
[C]Figure[G] this thing out
I guess it keeps [C]go ing on here
I'm runnin' outta breath, death

[Verse 27]
You got to love me
[C]More than the trees and stars
high [G]above me

[Verse 28]
You got to love me
[C]Love me
Love me all [A]the time
