Only the Song Survives John Hiatt
Intro: G C G x3
I w[G]oke her up twice in the mi[Cadd9]ddle of the night
To ask what her name is and where [G/B]she m[G/A]ight l[G]ive
To ask how many fingers she s[Cadd9]aw in this light
To ask if she might know what g[G/B]ives[G/A] [G]
She said we rolled that Camaro, like a co[Cadd9]wboy cigarette
Out on the highway in a puddle o[G/B]f bee[G/A]r[G]
That's just about how close to de[Cadd9]ath you're gonna get
Till the only thing standing is [G/B]fear[G/A] [G]
Singing, [G]oh darling, f[D/F#]aces were ch[G]anged
The n[C]ames of the innocent, the [G/B]story [G/A]at fi[G]ve
Oh darling, f[D/F#]aces get st[G]range
But o[C]nly the song surv[G/B]ives[G/A] [G]
Ah [D/F#]ha____[G]_
She said, now don't you remember they put a [Cadd9]patch on your eye
Like Dread Pirate Roberts, you looked so [G/B]unpla[G/A]nned[G]
They cut off my wedding ring and you s[Cadd9]tarted to cry
A one-eyed Niagara Falls [G/B]man[G/A] [G]
Singing, [G]oh darling, f[D/F#]aces were ch[G]anged
The n[C]ames of the innocent, the [G/B]story [G/A]at fi[G]ve
Oh darling, f[D/F#]aces get st[G]range
But o[C]nly the song surv[G/B]ives[G/A] [G]
Ah [D/F#]ha____[G]_
(Instrumental solo)
I said, but I never married, I [Cadd9]said with surprise
And is this the diamond you said t[G/B]hat y[G/A]ou los[G]t
It was under my eyelids when they f[Cadd9]lushed out my eyes
Hell and I don't know what the thin[G/B]g cos[G/A]t[G]
Singing, [G]oh darling, f[D/F#]aces were ch[G]anged
The n[C]ames of the innocent, the [G/B]story [G/A]at fi[G]ve
Oh darling, f[D/F#]aces get st[G]range
But o[C]nly the song surv[G/B]ives[G/A] [G]
Singing, [G]oh darling, f[D/F#]aces were ch[G]anged
The n[C]ames of the innocent, the [G/B]story [G/A]at fi[G]ve
Oh darling, f[D/F#]aces get st[G]range
But o[C]nly the song surv[G/B]ives[G/A] [G]
Ah [D/F#]ha____[G]_
