verse 1 

          C           G            C 
Came into town with a pocketful of songs 
           C            F           C 
I made the rounds but I didn't last long 
            Am      G              F         C 
Now I'm out on this highway with a bone-cold chill 
Am  Am/G  Am/F  C  F   C 
Somewhere north of Nashville 

verse 2 

       C           G             C 
I lie awake in the middle of the night 
                 C             F         C 
Makin' a list of things that I didn't do right 
     Am         G        F         C 
With you at the top of a long page filled 
      Am  Am/G  Am/F  C  F   C 
Here, somewhere north of Nashville

For the deal I made, the price was strong 
F            C        G 
I traded you for this song 

verse 3 

C                         G      C 
We woke each morning with hearts filled 
            C           F      C 
Bluebird of love on the windowsill 
        Am         G              F         C 
Now the heart's unsteady, and the night is still 
         Am             G       F       C 
All I've got's this melody, and time to kill
