Intro
G Em G Em
Verse 1
G C
Guess I never thought again I'd hear your voice
G C
When you packed your bags and pulled out of Detroit
G C
Yeah the snow falls alone get hard to bear
G C
Knowin' you're down south with sunshine on your hair
G C
Sent a postcard from Graceland when you passed through
G C
Read even though we lost, I still love you
G C
I keep it like a locket on a chain
G D
I tell myself that I've moved on but only half the way
Chorus
G
And every time I close my eyes
D Bm
You're dancin' neathn the full moonlight
Em
Your faded jeans across the hood
C
My arms wrapped 'round you tight and good
G
And I'm wiser than I was that day
D Bm
Now I'd have some words to say
Em C
Ones that just might make you stay with me
D G
That’s on me, when I close my eyes
Em
Verse 2
G C
Lately I've been talkin' to God again
G C
And a string of things, I didn't do back then
G C
No doubt I'm better off havin' had you
G
Yeah you taught me how to love
D
Taught me how to lose it too
Chorus
G
And every time I close my eyes
D Bm
You're dancin' neathn the full moonlight

Your faded jeans across the hood
