It’s morn ing time;
won der where you (D)are.
Won der who you’re talk ing to.
(Em9)Won der if the sun has ris en where you (D)are.
It’s morn ing time.
I miss your
hands on my skin.
This bed’s too big
with (D)out you.
(C)God,
what do I do?
I’m a (G)thou sand miles a way,
and I’m ly ing (D)next to you.
Sun shines gold en.
I feel like my (D)car, a lit tle run down, a lit tle beat up, and may be just a lit tle bit green.
(Em9)May be it’s my bat t’ry, may be it’s my start er, may be (D)my y y heart’s too weak.
Just got this feel ing, thought I had to get go ing.
Got too (D)scar y, got too big; said, girl, got ta get out of here.
But now,
I don’t know how to get (D)home.
(C)God,
what do I do?
I’m a (G)thou sand miles a way,
and I’m ly ing (D)next to you.
These fields stretch out like patch work on my grand ma’s quilt.
She used to tell me,
life is a se ries of strange and mys te ri ous (D)things;
oh,
one min ute you think you’re up, the next you find you’re down.
Your mind says, sweet heart, you bet ter stick a round, but your heart says, oh,
too weak in the (D)knees.
(C)God,
what do I do?
I’m a (G)thou sand miles a way.
Said (D)oh,
God,
what do I do?
I’m a (G)thou sand miles a way,
and I’m ly ing (D)next to you.
