Meadowlake Street
Ryan Adams
Intro A
A Asus A
There’s something about you that reminds me of all those times
D A E
When I wasn’t sorry, when I wasn’t blue the cherry moon it shone down on us
F#m A E F#m
Under the stars shining down everyone for you
A G
If I could count them all I would circle the moon
D
And count ‘em back to nothing till I got to you
Bm A G
Something in you dies when it’s over
Bm A G
Everybody cries sometimes
Bm A G
If loving you’s a dream that’s not worth having
A Asus2 A Asus2
Then why do I dream of you
A Asus A
I used to be the house that you lived in down on Meadowlake Street
D A E
When you moved they cut down the maple tree I carved your name into
F#m A E
The tree became a boat, I christened it your name
F#m A
And when the water turned to salt from your tears
G
It hit the bottom of the ocean where I go
Dsus2
When I hear your name and I sink like a stone
Bm A G
Something in you dies when it’s over
Bm A G
Everybody cries sometimes
Bm A G
If loving you’s a dream that’s not worth having
A/D Asus2/D A/D Asus2/D
Then why do I dream of you
A Asus
I feel like a dream that’s not worth having
A Asus
Like a nervous joke ain’t nobody laughing
Dsus2
Like somebody with nothing ‘cause they don’t know what they’re wanting
Tiny like the sand in the cracks of the driftwood
A Asus
Washed up on the shore of an ocean of you
A Asus
Boats out on the horizon
Dsus2
Made of the maple tree where I used to lie down
On Meadowlake street counting the stars
A Asus A Asus Dsus2 A Asus A Asus Dsus2
You and I you and I... you and I you and I..
Bm A G
Something in you dies when it’s over
Bm A G
Everybody cries sometimes
Bm A G
If loving you’s a dream that’s not worth having
A/D Asus2/D A/D Asus2/D A/D Asus2/D A/D Asus2/D
Then why do I dream of you, why do I dream of you
A/D Asus2/D A/D Asus2/D A/D Asus2/D A/D Asus2/D
Why do I dream of you, why do I dream of you
Why...
