[G][Asus4][A][D][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[G]Lovers
accustomed to [A]tragedy[D]

across [G]the street
Breezes and [D]bless[A]ings [D]passing [F#m]by,
[Bm]ah o[G]oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I'm I'm in the shade of [A]the dog
wood [D]tree
[F#m]Not the one where yo[D]u
[Bm]told your name to [G]me
Two hungry [A]blackbirds land near [F#m]by,
ah ooh-oh
[D]If

[Verse 3]
[Bm]If I cou[G]ld be ov[A]er y[D]ou
when [Bm]the sky [D]starts [G]falling
Would you be [D]happy [A]under me?[Bm]
If [G]I could b[A]e u[D]nde[F#m]r you
if [D]the [Bm]earth was burning
[D]Cou[G]ld you be trus[D]
[A]ted [D]over me?

[G]Spoke to a mother [A]whose baby drowned
[F#m]Gave me advice,
or a ru[Bm]mor she o[G]nce heard:
“Heaven's a dis[A]tance,
not [D]a place,” a[F#m]h ooh-oh[Bm]

[Verse 5]
[G]Gave her an ear from the [A]corn we grew
[F#m]You were away but she

That was a [A]year ago come May, [D]ah ooh-oh
[F#m]If If[D]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]I co[G]uld be ove[A]r[D]
[F#m]you when th[D]e sky st[Bm]arts falling
