INTRO B7 VERSE 1 E E What if I were to tell you that I’ve always loved you A E But you might never see me again. B B7 That the wide open road is the last place I know A E A grown man can still play pretend E E7 Like he ain’t just some guy, like it’ll all be alright A E Like he don’t plan on running away. B B7 How I wish it were true, but I’d be lying to you B7 B If I made you some promise to stay. CHORUS 1 A E E Take all your distant belongings, ball caps, class rings, B7 E E7 Worn shoes, flat tires, steel pans, and big dreams, A A7 E E7 And go talk to the man who buys broken down things, A A E And sell him a piece of your heart. VERSE 2 E E Well now she’s off to the races, all dolled up in graces A E Pretty as a June Christmas tree. B B7 Then headed to find her, a one night reminder, A E Why she don’t wear no hearts on her sleeve. E E7 And alls that I know is, that white pedal roses A E Look prettiest before wilting away B7 B7 So shine baby shine, drink up all the wine B7 B Don’t let no one tell you can’t. CHORUS 2 A E Throw out the laundry, let it wash in the rain B7 E E7 Wet trash, coal fired, lactose, migraine. A A7 E E7 And Go talk to the man, who buys broken down things A A E And sell him a piece of your heart. VERSE 3 E E Now there’s a Tennessee sunrise, pourin in daylight A E Free as a bull from his pen. B B7 And all I can think of, is you shitcanned and mad love A E I’m just glad to see you again. E E7 And I thought you should know, that I’ve stitched up my soul A E And framed it in gold on the wall. B B7 So when the train come to town, and they tear this place down B7 B There’ll be somethin’ still left to hang on. CHORUS 3 A E Cold cups of coffee in the Uhaul mobile, B7 E E7 Stay back, wide load, sharp turns, uphill. A A7 E E7 Go talk to the man, let him cut you a deal A A E And sell him a piece of your heart, oh baby A B E Go on and sell him a piece of your heart. OUTRO E
