Florida Patty Griffin
CAPO 4
INTRO:
La la la la la la [Em]la
La la la la la la [C]la
La la la la la la [Em]la
La la la la la la [C]la la la
VERSE:
Couple young [G]girls went sailing down [Em]A1A
To the arms of [C]Florida sailing down a [D]highway
Singing their [Em]heads off, tainted by the Holy[C] Ghosts
Flying in from the [G]ocean, driving with their ey[D]es closed
CHORUS:
The [C]night wants to [D]kiss you d[Em]eep, and be on his way
[C]Pretend he don't [D]know you [G] the very next d[D]ay
Isn't it [C]hard sometimes, isn't it [Em]lonely
How I still hang [C]around here when [D]there's nothing to [Em]hold me
VERSE:
You slide down [G]into the sea from twelve hours [Em]on your feet
And get the tide to wash[C] you away, thousands and t[D]housands of days
And someone you n[Em]ever meet signs a check you get [C]every week
You try and still [G]can't forget all the strangers that [D]you have met
CHORUS:
The [C]night never owe[D]d you no[Em]thing anyway
[C]Makes promises that he [D]never intends to [G]keep every [D]day
Isn't it [C]hard sometimes, isn't it [Em]lonely
How I still hang [C]around here, and [D]there's nothing to [Em]hold me
BRIDGE:
[C]Every time every [D]year the travelers co[Em]me and go
You see them landing with their [C]pale wings
And flying back to the [D]snow
VERSE: (Same Chords)
And the summer comes marching in with his heavy boots on
Kicking along the blacktopped sidewalks of A1A
The young girls in their bare feet, cigarettes smoking
Looking every which way, wishing and a'hoping
CHORUS:
And you want the night just to let you sleep and be on his way
Wrap you up in some cool sheets and have nothing to say
Isn't it hard sometimes, isn't it lonely
How I still hang around here, and there's nothing to hold me
Isn't it [C]hard sometimes, isn't it [Em]lonely
How I still hang [C]around here, and [D]there's nothing to [Em]hold me [C]
La la la la la la [Em]la
La la la la la la [C]la la la[D]
