Artist/Band: Turnpike Troubadours Tabs
Song: The Shape Tab
Intro: G D Dsus4 D C G
G D
Well I'm in, pretty good shape for the shape I'm in, living in the shadows of all my
C G
sins, but hey, we've all got our problems.
G D
And it's been 21 hours since I've heard your voice and me, well I got no damn choice
C G
in the matter, yeah you know that's true
G D C
Yeah leave it all up to you this time, the decision is yours baby its not mine, even
G
though that's hard.
G D
But the ink stain is still on my hand, and your number's too worn off to understand,
C G
but I wear it, like a battle scar.
CHORUS C G D B7
And I can't tell, about you and me, it's a little bit too far down that old road of life to
C
see.
G D B7 C
But I keep an eye out, toward the sky, thinking that maybe you just might be passin' by,
G D B7
And how I wish, that you can hear, me sing maybe this time my songs just might
C
mean something.
BRIDGE Am C Am C
So fall on back down to me, fall on back down to me,
Am C G
ah you're still an angel, even with that broken wing.
(Keep with the G D C G progression through the verse)
And I said I got enough gas to make it there,
tonight if you want baby I don't care, and you said no no no no that's ok.
So instead I just sat here on this couch and I drank it off, that's what I'm all about,
at least lord, that's what the poeople say.
Cuz we both know im just a lost cause, a wannabe poet with a cheap guitar, begging for applause,
but I thought id be your knight in shining armor, and id save ya, hell or high water,
but I wont reach out my hand if you don't want it.
Repeat CHORUS
Am C Am C
So fall on back down to me, fall on back down to me,
Am C Am C Am
ah you're still an angel, ah you're still an angel, ah you're still an angel,
C G
even with that broken wing.
