Flying Over Water

A  E  A

[Verse]
          A               E            A
From the sky we look so organized and brave
  D                 E              A           (G#)
Walls that make up barricades and graves
F#m             D               A       (C#)      D
Daddy's little empire built by hand and built by slaves
          A             E              A
From the sky we look so organized and brave

        A              E               A
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
  D                E               A        (G#)
Drunken tears and tugging at your skirt
   F#m             D                 A      (C#)     D
If only you could tell me then what part of you got hurt
        A              E               A
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt

[Chorus]
 F#m     A               D    A
Take my hand baby we're over land
        F#m         A               E
I know flying over water makes you cry
              F#m    A
Where's that liquor cart?
           D         A
Maybe we shouldn't start
   F#m                   A          E
But I can't say for the life of me say why

[Verse]
          A                E                  A
From the sky to highway straight as it could be
    D                  E              A      (G#)
A string pulled tight home from Tennessee
  F#m                D                A    (C#)     D
Still somehow these ditches took the better part of me
          A               E                  A
From the sky to highway straight as it could be

[Chorus]
F#m      A               D     A
Take my hand baby we're over land
       F#m          A               E
I know flying over water makes you cry
            F#m     A
Been in the sky so long
                D        A
Seems like the long way home
   F#m               A              E
But I can't for the life of me say why

[Bridge]
        Bm             F#m
Did we leave our love behind?
        Bm             F#m                 E
Did we leave our love behind?
        Bm             F#m
Did we leave our love behind?
        Bm             F#m                 E
Did we leave our love behind?

[Chorus]
F#m      A               D    A
Take my hand baby we're over land
        F#m          A              E
I know flying over water makes you cry
            F#m     A
Been in the sky so long
                D        A
Seems like the long way home
   F#m               A              E
But I can't for the life of me say why

        Bm             F#m
Did we leave our love behind?
        Bm             F#m                E
Did we leave our love behind?
