A E There was a mountain on the table of bills that needed paid F#m D Dishes in the kitchen sink like dreams that never fade. A E A wild imagination, convicts in the yard, F#m D Never enough time to make ends meet A E F#m D So they put it on a credit card, don't we all? You may not know just where you came from but once upon a time There was a carpenter, a bartender, a broken fishing line Just south of royalty in the town that I came from There were architects and astronauts But the only one she loved was a prison guard Chorus: F#m D E And that's the only time I ever saw true love. A E F#m E America's a girl I liked in Georgia D A Bm London kept me warm up in Eugene. A E I guess my mother bless her heart, F#m E Set the bar too high to start. Bm A/C# D 'Cause finding love for me is just too hard A For a son of a prison guard. There's a gate that needed painting, clothes that needed clean They'd say there's time enough for that when the fun has all been seen Cause when we're laying on our death bed, a promise we won't say Wish we would have worked more, baby Instead of loving you that way, no way Chorus: And that's the only time I ever saw true love Sedona is a girl I met in Brooklyn Paris got me close in New Orleans I guess my mother bless her heart Set the bar too high to start Cause finding love for me is just too hard For a son of a prison guard F#m E D I go wherever you are, whoever you are F#m I go wherever you are, whoever you are E D I go wherever you are, whoever you are I go wherever you are Chorus: Betty is a girl I knew in Charlotte Jordan left for Sydney yesterday I guess my mother bless her heart Set the bar too high to start Cause finding love for me is just too hard For a son of a prison guard | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsA Bm C# D E F#m |
