The Great Divide Tim McGraw
( INTRO )
[Cm] [Bb] [Eb/G] [Ab]
( VERSE 1 )
She was [Cm]reading a [Bb]book that she'd [Eb/G]already [Ab]read,
[Eb]Just to pass the [Bb]time.
He just [Cm]sat there and [Bb]stared at the [Eb/G]TV [Ab]set,
[Eb]Like he was barely [Bb]alive.
[Fm]When the local [Eb/G]news was over,
[Ab]They would climb the [Bb]stairs.
[Fm]Crawl in bed under[Eb/G]neath the covers,
[Ab]Like neither one was [Bbsus]there.[Bb]
( CHORUS )
And its a [Ab]long, [Bb]long [Eb]way a[Ab]cross the [Bb]great di[Eb]vide.
The [Ab]songs that [Bb]they once [Cm]sang,
Now [Ab]echo far and [Bb]wide.
They could [Ab]still [Bb]get [Eb]back all the [Ab]love that [Bb]they have [Eb]lost.
But [Ab]only [Bb]if they [Cm]both will reach a[Bbsus]cross.[Bb]
'Cause its a [Ab]long, long [Eb/G]way to the other [Fm]side,
[Bbsus] [Bb]Of the great divi[Cm]de.[Bb] [Eb/G] [Ab]
( VERSE 2 )
He was [Cm]up in the [Bb]attic on the [Eb/G]4th of Ju[Ab]ly,
[Eb]As they flew a flag in the [Bb]yard.
When he [Cm]found some old [Bb]roses she had [Eb/G]long ago [Ab]dried,
[Eb]Before they drifted a[Bb]part.
[Fm]And how the years had [Eb/G]slipped right by them,
[Ab]He didn't under[Bb]stand.
[Fm]He carried a petal in[Eb/G]to the kitchen,
[Ab]And he placed it in her [Bbsus]hand. [Bb]
( CHORUS )
And its a [Ab]long, [Bb]long [Eb]way a[Ab]cross the [Bb]great di[Eb]vide.
The [Ab]songs that [Bb]they once [Cm]sang,
Now [Ab]echo far and [Bb]wide.
They could [Ab]still [Bb]get [Eb]back all the [Ab]love that [Bb]they have [Eb]lost.
But [Ab]only [Bb]if they [Cm]both will reach a[Bbsus]cross.[Bb]
'Cause its a [Ab]long, long [Eb/G]way to the other [Fm]side,
[Bbsus] [Bb]Of the great divi[Cm]de. [Bb] [Eb/G] [Abmaj7]
