You Got to Me James McMurtry
Intro: G C G C
[G]To celebrate undying faith, we'r[C]e gathered here like drifted wrecks
[G]for a late September wedding, Oc[D]tober breathing down our necks.
[G]I knew this town in another time. I [C]knew this town a younger man
[G]with the world in my hip pocket [D]a subway token in my hand.
[G] [C] Mmm you go[G]t to me.[C]
[G]And they got candlelight and a reggae band, cham[C]pagne by the bucket load
[G]Limos lined up down the curb to [D]take us where we need to go.
[G]And I need to go somewhere I've been to [C]find a place I lost the trail
[G]Way back then so long ago I don'[D]t suppose you even know
[G]You got to me.
[C]Brought all this empty down on t[G]op of me.[C]
[G]You got to me.[C] [G] [C]
[G]We danced between the snowflakes falling, trippi[C]ng on the cobblestones
[G]And the trolley tracks, we had it all then, Chr[D]istmas break your roommates gone
[G]We stoked the fire and let it burn till the e[C]mbers glowed in the morning light
[G]Trust in the tangle of skin on skins I'v[D]e not known quite that feeling since
[G]You got to me.
[C]Brought all this empty down on t[G]op of me.
[C]I didn't know but we wer[G]e not to be, but[C] I know [D]a thing or two now.[G] [C] [G] [C]
[G]The wedding party's raging yet, how the ol[C]d and desperate misbehave
[G]Limo smells like cocaine sweat, che[D]ap cologne and aftershave
[G]It's gotta be one of these row house doors I kn[C]ew the number long ago
[G]I step out on the curb. Tell the dr[D]iver just go on and go.
[G]You got to me.
[C]Brought all this empty down on t[G]op of me.
[C]I didn't know but we were n[G]ot to be, but [C]I know a[D] thing or two now[G].[C]
Interlude: G C G C G C
[G]The paper boy wants a smoke, l[C]eans his bike against a tree
[G]He's tired and cold and broke and he do[D]n't what to make of me
[G]Standing here in my three piece suit, st[C]anding here just like I am
[G]With my vest unbuttoned and my neck tie loose, i[D]mpervious to all abuse
[G]You got to me.
[C]Brought all this empty down on t[G]op of me.
[C]Off on a thousand dollar ody[G]ssey, and [C]I know a thi[D]ng or two n[G]ow.
Yeah [C]I know a th[D]ing or two no[G]w.
Yeah [C]I know a th[D]ing or two no[G]w.[C] [D] [G]
