G             C9          Em7    D  Dsus2  D
Daisies stand up on their tiptoes
G                  C9       Em7           D  Dsus2  D
And clouds stumble over themselves in the sky
G                  C9          Em7        D  Dsus2  D
And all the pretty horses come runnin' to her
G            C9          Em7
And even the dust devils pray
     D       Dsus2 D   G  C9  Em7  D  Dsus2  D
That they'll catch her eye

Riff 1

I haunt her house from the outside
I watch her bake cornbread and talk on the phone
And the wireless on the inside plays a sad, sweet song
A mute moonlit statue am I
She waltzes alone

Riff 1

Chorus:
    Em    Bm    G                Bm
But baby, baby, I could call you baby
Em                    Bm                      G            Bm
If I weren't so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue
    Am    Bm    C                Bm
And baby, baby, I could call you baby
C            D
If I weren't so green and dumb

Riff 1 (x2)

The wind ain't stopped blowin' since mornin'
It's got me froze up on the inside
And I could get warm in the bunkhouse
Thaw out on coffee and bread

Chorus

I need your government warnin'
Like I need a hole in my head
But I won't shoot your coyotes, and I won't burn your weeds
     G              C9           Em7           D    Dsus2 D   Em  Bm   G C D
Your paycheck won't fill up this hollow, won't dull all   the a - chin'
