A                           D           A       
Could not get to sleep it was on my wedding night
  F#m              E               D            E
I was tangled in the sheets and I was dreaming of a light
D               E       A                       D                       
Pouring from her window  coming up through the floor
D                                               E
Lifting up the darkness  crashing through my kitchen door
A                          D            A
Down to that old oak table I went to take a look
        F#m                  E           D              E
And my whole life passed before me just like a story book
   D                  E         A                  D
She used to make me breakfast sit around and talk
D                                           E
Have anothe cup of coffee maybe take a little walk
     F#m        E           A    D
Like Dust down a country road
D                                       E
Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load
F#m              E    A  D
up before the roster crowed
D                               E                   A
There's an old dog staring at the dust down a county road
A                           D           A       
That truck is going somewhere I just can't be sure
F#m                E               D            E
And tomorrow's just a day after all that's gone before
D                     E         A                       D
I always thought of leaving  I never could stay too long
D                                                        E
Now her memory's catching up and her sweet dreams are all gone

(CHORUS)

A                  D            A       
If I had a bullet I'd put in this gun
F#m                      E         D            E
And I'd catch that old dog naping and shoot him fore he'd run
D                             E         A              D                        
Cause he ain't much good for nothing cept starring at the dust
D                                               E
Lord I wonder what he's looking at sneaking up on us
