Intro: A (x4 bars) 


[Verso 1]

           D  A 
A spring remembered 
             D 
The taste of gin 
   D      A       E      A 
An eyelet light upon our skin 
             D   A 
Your form it lingers 
             D 
I trace just where you've been 
     D        A         E    A 
The?songs we sang I'll sing again 


[Refrão]
 
     D         E 
When it breaks down 
   D          E 
Oh babe let's try 
           F#m       D       A 
To see the beauty in all the fading 


[Verso 2]
 
          D A 
I saw the river 
          D 
Thick with mud 
D     A           E         A 
Break through the banks and run 
                D     A 
And I confess I liked it 
              D 
I cheered the flood 
         D     A       E         A 
When the water hit the walls and won 


[Refrão]
 
     D         E 
When it breaks down 
   D          E 
Oh babe let's try 
           F#m       D       A 
To see the beauty in all the fading 


[Ponte]

       D 
Hmm-mm-mmm 
       A 
Hmm-mm-mmm 


[Verso 3]
 
              D  A 
The roads are endless 
             D 
They seem to grow 
D          A     E         A 
Vines that wind around the world 
             D    A 
And though I hate it 
            D 
To leave my home 
  D         A          E       A 
I love that car when I need to go 


[Refrão]
 
     D         E 
When it breaks down 
   D          E 
Oh babe let's try 
           F#m       D       A 
To see the beauty in all the fading 


[Ponte]
 
       D 
Hmm-mm-mmm 
       A 
Hmm-mm-mmm 


[Verso 4]
 
          D  A 
And O, Kentucky 
            D 
Stays in my mind 
     D        A       E     A 
It's sweet to be five years behind 
             D    A 
That's where I'll be 
              D 
When the seas rise 
           D    A           E        A 
Holding my dear friends and drinking wine 


[Refrão]

     D          E 
When it breaks down 
   D          E 
Oh babe let's try 
           F#m       D       A 
To see the beauty in all the fading 
        D      E 
When it breaks down 
         D          E 
When the stakes get high 
           F#m       D       A 
To see the beauty in all the fading
