Lyrics

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.
