Key:
D G She gets a little restless in the
A spring
G D She might follow the lines you sing
G A Bullshit though they are
G 'Cause sometimes that's just the
D thing
G If delivered with panache and a
A certain grace
G D Fingertips on satin lace
G A Cutting cards and quoting Proust
G D Whatever turns her wild mare loose [Fill 1] D G A G x2 [Verse 2]
D G She gets a little restless now
A and then
G D She feels the changes in the wind
G A Way down deep where I can't see
G D She can get clean away from me
G A With a side step and subtle shift
G D And the turning of a key
G A Locks me out and lets me drift
G D She'll come back if I let her be
Continues after the ad
G She'll come back if I let her be
A G [Chorus]
A D And you know I'm just a little down tonight
G A I'm just a little down
A D G A little messed up is all I'm
A saying
A D Just a little down tonight
G A I'm just a little down
A D G But I believe I'll make it
A
A D G Believe I'll make it
A [Solo] D G A G x4 [Verse 2]
D G She gets a little restless I can
A tell
G When she goes back up inside her
D shell
G A And the conversation slows
G D To a stop and I might as well
G A Be out alone on the highway
G D Way off in the Utah sage
G A Waving to the railroad crew
G D That's when I get restless too [Chorus]
A D And you know I'm just a little down tonight
G A I'm just a little down
A D G A little messed up is all I'm
A saying
A D Just a little down tonight
G A I'm just a little down
A D G But I believe I'll make it
A
A D G Believe I'll make it
A [Fill 2] D G A G x2 [Verse 3]
D G She gets a little restless in the
A spring
G D She might follow the lines you sing
G A Bullshit though they are
G 'Cause sometimes that's just the
D thing
