B             A                      B
There was the faintest sliver of the moon

   A                     B
At two o'clock this afternoon

     A                        B
Well you and me, we share the same one

                A                B
We're out there battling the sun

                     A                      B
Knockin chips with a five piece stick off a dull gray rock
    A                     B
But nothin's getting done
         A                        B                A
Don't it seem, don't it seem like nothin ever gets done


D               (Bm)
They can call us hicks, 

            G          A
we got your smile just wide enough to 

D                (Bm)                  G     A
lodge between the bricks of some small history, yeah

D               (Bm)                G             A
Some can throw a switch and it can sell you some half-truths
   D                  (Bm)               
So lie and tell me you miss me
A                G        B        A  B  A
Yeah tell me you miss me, yeah



B            A                B
The rails we ride were always built
   A                          B
On someone else's shoulders
             A                  B
Well and the river rides smooth 
      A                   B
over hond yallow boulders
                            A                           B
You might hear the sound of what you love fading out to nothing
           A                   B
A strip of pink on the horizon

B                             A     B
But what you love will always smolder
B                             A     B
The thing you love will always smolder
B                             A     B
I think what you love will always smolder
B                             A     G
The thing you love will always smolder


D               (Bm)
They can call us hicks, 

            G          A
we got your smile just wide enough to 

D                (Bm)                  G     A

   D                  (Bm)               
So lie and tell me you miss me
A                G        B        A  B  A
Yeah tell me you miss me, yeah
