Em         G            D               C          
  I pulled out with the mountain laurel blooming
Em          G            D          C       
  On a dirt road that is soon to be paved
Em            G           D          C               
  Down to the site of my original establishment
Em        G        D      C       
  And the west end family grave

      G       D          Em     
Cause one day moves into two
        C      
And I'm losing
G      D                Em  C     
  Everything except for you
G             D          Em        C            
  And I would sing you a song of devotion
   D               Em     C      
Yeah that's what I should do


Em           G         D                C            
  Blood runs thick and when it rains it pours down
Em              G           D         C      
  On the family tree on the fields of war
Em           G          D                  C                
  I spend my time being broken hearted and grieving bound
Em               G         D       C         
  Yeah I haven't much need to look forward

           G       D         Em     
I just let one day move into two
        C      
And I'm losing
G      D                Em  C     
  Everything except for you
G         D          Em        C            
  I would sing you a song of devotion

G         Em            
  Book of days
G         Em                  
  The way things lay
G             D         C      
  That's just space and time                     
G           Em   
  I gave it up
G           Em     
  All for a love
G             D    C         
   That won't be defined

Em         G           D         C        
  I've had enough temporary acquisition
Em         G      D      C      
  Building fences for no gain
Em       G          D               C                   
  Taking dead trees down before the winter freeze
  Em           G       D          C          
I said let 'em rot and fall where they may

           G       D         Em     
I just let one day move into two
        C      
And I'm losing
G      D                Em  C     
  Everything except for you
G         D          Em        C            
  I would sing you a song of devotion
   D               Em     C      
Yeah that's what I should do


G                  D
  It's the book of days
Em             C
  It's the way things lay
G                 D         Em    C
  Now that's just space and time
G           D
  I gave it up
Em           C
All for your love
G  D              Em        C
   That's what I should do
G  D              Em        C
   That's what I should do
G  D              Em        C
   That's what I should do
