[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F]
[Am][F][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
If [Am]you
were here [F]in Starkville
Townie boys would love the
way [Am]you stare[F]
If [Am]you were here in Starkville
Well the loc[F]al girls they wouldn't
have a prayer
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[F]
[Am]Well I've spent a reckless night
inside [F]the wonder
Of your everlasting [Am]charm[F]
Now I'm [Am]haunted by geography
and the flor[F]a
And the fauna of your heart
[Am][F]

[Verse 3]
At the dawning of some [G]road worn day
[F]I call you on a whim just to [G]say
The [Am]morning birds are singing
But I [F]could not do them justice
So I hung up and [C]I fell [G]back
[Am]to sleep
[F][Am]

[Verse 4]
[F]
But I'm in [Am]love with my mobility
[F]Sometimes this life can
be [Am]a drag[F]
Like when I [Am]noticed your nobility
and [F]how my leaving
It only held you back
[Am][G]

[Verse 5]
[F]
But I remem[Am]ber one occasion
When you [F]were drinking
And you asked me to [Am]the coast[F]
But [Am]I was hell bent on
agony back [F]then
And so I missed the boat
[Am][F]

[Verse 6]
At the dawning of some [G]road worn day
[F]I call you on a whim just to [G]say
My re[Am]grets become distractions
When I [F]can not do them justice
Then I hung up and [C]I fell back [Am]to sleep

[Am]When

[Verse 7]
I was down in Starkville
I was [F]hiding out inside some
[Am]comfort [F]inn
From a [Am]local gang of troubadours
When the [F]homecoming queen
She come rid[Am]in' [F]in yeah

[Verse 8]
Yeah but I [Am]slipped out of my
room into [Dm]the rain[F]
And I went running for my [Am]health[F]
I watched those [Am]headlights
turn to moonlight
And fi[F]nally I was running
by my[Am]self
[F]

[Verse 9]
Now it's the dawning of
some [G]road worn day
[F]And I call you on a whim jus[G]t to say
The [Am]morning birds are singing
