stuck in a ditch
G C
in a new set of wheels
F C
sometimes daylight obscures
G C
what the darkness reveals
F C
well we might have got further
G Am
had we dug in our heels
F C G C
but we weren't the digging kind
chorus
F C
but when our love ran like water
G C
we drank from one cup
F C

G C

Em F
but not where I'm bound
C Dm F
or whether I'd care to be found
G C
another man about town
F C
a worm in the belly
G C
of a bird on the sill
F C
we've heard the beating of wings
G C
but we're sitting here still
F C
now you can order another
G Am
but I've had my fill

the baby and I
G C
are doing just fine
F C

G C
and out of the wine
F C
and he keeps you from keeping
G Am
a hold on my mind
F C G C
and I try to keep him from crying
chorus
