Intro G Em D C
G
it's rainin' out in soho,
you're tellin' me, "don't go"
Em
tucked outside a bar door,
what are we alive for?
D
i could call a car
C
or we can walk down the avenue
i wrote a song for you
G
about that spot in ireland,
you got on the table when
Em
that man played his sad songs
for me and all my drunken friends
D
you danced there and i did too..
C
that night, i wrote a song for you
G
and you remind me of some old
timey photo that i saw
Em
in the doorway on a long day,
in your black lace bra
D
started writin' when i met you,
i'll be writin' when i die
C
this.. song for you
Chorus
G -D
i heard you told your daddy
-Em -C
'bout some boy in the city
G -D
"he's oklahoma trash
-Em -C
but he's real kind.. with me"
G -D
does a boy get tired
-Em -C
of playin' those.. tunes
C -D G
but i wrote this song for you
Int. G Em C G
G
deep within my lower spine,
i see you drinkin' summer wine
Em
at a venue out in dublin,
back when i said nothin'
D
wish i'd said then
the things i'm thinkin' now
C
i wrote a song for you
G
and all these people tellin' me
i ain't what i used to be
Em
but you've known me since i was naive
and twenty three
D
i could give a shit about
C
what these people say i am
i wrote a song for you
G
and i feel like a kid again
when you start askin' questions
Em
about my mama, oklahoma
or the way i'm sleepin'
D
when they took the boy you knew,
sold him for profit
C
i had you in my arms last night
but i lost it
Int. G Em D C

who golfs and is christian
