The Muse

Am   C    F    C
Am   C    F    C


[Verse 1]

     Am         C             F          C
As I sit on the edge of this never made bed
     Am            C         F          C
Old guitar in my lap, a new tune in my head
           Am            C             F          C
There she stands in the doorway just brushin' her hair
         Am         C         F     C
It's my beautiful muse in her underwear


[Chorus]

     F        C              F              C    C     F     C
And if I was thinkin' I'd be thinkin' thank God
    F        C
whoever you are
          Am      C          F        C
For the muse and this old guitar
    Am          C         F          C
The times like these so sweet and so true
F              Am              G        C
Thinkin's the last thing that you wanna do


[Instrumental]

Am   C    F    C
Continues after the ad
Am   C    F    C


[Verse 2]

      Am        C           F         C
As I sit on the end of this dirty old bar
           Am               C           F           C
Tryin' to work some things out and not gettin' too far
      Am               C             F         C
And I drown out the voices that are keepin' me down
          Am       C             F             C
There's a muse all alone on the other side of town


[Chorus]

     F        C              F              C    C     F     C
And if I was thinkin' I'd be thinkin' thank God
    F        C
whoever you are
          Am      C          F        C
For all the whiskey in this dirty old bar
    Am          C         F          C
The times like these so sad but so true
F              Am              G        C
Thinkin's the last thing that you wanna do
F              Am              G        C
Thinkin's the last thing that you wanna do


[Instrumental]

Am   C    F    C
Am   C    F    C


[Verse 3]

      Am        C           F         C
As I sit on the bed in this hospital room
      Am        C           F         C
Sheddin' a tear for the bride and groom
      Am        C           F        C
The tiniest voice starts to bellow and cry
         Am          C     F               C
It's my finest work yet if today I should die


[Chorus]

     F        C              F              C    C     F     C
And if I was thinkin' I'd be thinkin' thank God
    F        C
whoever you are
          Am          C             F           C
For the muse and the miracle right here in my arms
    Am          C         F          C
The times like these so sweet and so true
F              Am              G        C
Thinkin's the last thing that you wanna do
F              Am              G        C
Thinkin's the last thing that you wanna do, yeah
F              Am              G        C
Thinkin's the last thing that you wanna do
