[Intro 1]
[F][C][Em][Am]
[F][C][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
[F]Old friend, it's been a [C]while,
and I ain't [G]spoke to you in [Am]years
And [F]oftentimes boys from [C]this town
put the [G]wheels down and disap[Am]pear
Miss [F]Cole asked about you
just [C]three days back
[G]I had no answer to g[Am]ive her
I [F]told her that you moved [C]way out West
to write some [G]songs
And grow a little more bit[Am]ter
[F]KIds talk about you a[C]round here
like you're [G]some kind of [Am]legend
I [F]wonder if they know a thousand [C]sunrises ago
you were [G]eager just [Am]like them?

[Chorus 1]
If you [F]ever decide to bring your [C]pain
And your pride back to [G]this side
of Oklahoma [Am]City
Be a [F]porch light on
from the [C]post you leaned on
'Fore you [G]wound up on the wrong [Am]side of pity
And [F]oftentimes I pray for you
and [C]oftentimes I don't
Is it the [G]goodbyes that haunt you,
[Am]fear of new hellos?
You [F]won't stay for long
'cause you [C]won't stop your running
[G]Wait for tomorrow 'til to[Am]morrow's not coming

[Solo 1]
[F][C][G][Am]
[F][C][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
Heard you [F]landed in Tulsa
while [C]he slipped away
Is that the [G]reason you're fleeing
the [Am]fields we hauled hay?
[F]Heat this July or the [C]dark last December
[G]Look in my eyes and [Am]you might remember
[F]Weed out in Norman, the [C]Stillwater strip
[G]Run far enough boy
and [Am]you're bound to trip

[Chorus 2]
If you [F]ever decide to bring your [C]pain
And your pride back to [G]this side
of Oklahoma [Am]City
Be a [F]porch light on
from the [C]post you leaned on
'Fore you [G]wound up on the wrong [Am]side of pity
And [F]oftentimes I pray for you
and [C]oftentimes I don't
Is it the [G]goodbyes that haunt you,
[Am]fear of new hellos?
You [F]won't stay for long
'cause you [C]won't stop your running
[G]Wait for tomorrow 'til to[Am]morrow's not coming

[Chorus 3]
If you e[F]ver decide to bring your p[C]ain
And your pride back to [G]this side
of Oklahoma [Am]City
Ba a [F]porch light on
from the [C]post you leaned on
'Fore you [G]wound up on the wrong [Am]side of pity
And [F]oftentimes I pray for you
and [C]oftentimes I don't
Is it the [G]goodbyes that haunt you,
[Am]fear of new hellos?
You [F]won't stay for long
'cause you [C]won't stop your running
[G]Wait for tomorrow 'til to[Am]morrow's not coming
