Em             G             C
I was smiling like a boy that just stole shit
          G                 C            G            D
When you told me you would hold it, my late momma's ring
    Em         G           C           G
And I'd sneak away at the end of each day
         C            G           D
To write sonnets for you I could sing
       Em        G
It was cold in October
         C             G
When you rode yourself over
    C          G           D
To pull on my shoulder to say
           Em          G           C           G
It took a mighty long time and too much wasted wine
          C                G        D
To find a man who looks at me this way


[Chorus]
        Em                       G
But I'd fight any roughneck I'd stop any river
   C                          G           D
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
       Em
In the grips of a woman
       G
Sends shivers down spines
C                          G          D
Makes you recall your forgotten good times


[Verse 2]
         Em          G
When you wake in the morning
       C           G
To the sound of me snoring
   C           G       D
My ragged face by your side
Em            G
Pray that you know
       C             G
All my dreams and my hopes
         C              G          D
Have you holding me the day that I die
      Em            G           C        G
And I know that I'm nothing but I am not bluffing
     C            G             D
When I say you're meant for the sky
      Em          G        C        G
Cause beauty that holy and heart so kind
C           G           D
Deserves a place it can fly

[Chorus]
        Em                       G
But I'd fight any roughneck I'd stop any river
   C                          G           D
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
       Em
In the grips of a woman
       G
Sends shivers down spines
C                          G          D
Makes you recall your forgotten good times

[Chorus]
        Em                       G
Yeah I'd fight any roughneck I'd stop any river
   C                          G           D
If it meant that I could just lie here forever
       Em
In the grips of a woman
       G
Sends shivers down spines
C                          G          D
Makes you recall your forgotten good times

[Outro]
      Em             G             C
I was smiling like a boy that just stole shit
          G                 C            G            D
When you told me you would hold it, my late momma's ring
    Em         G           C           G
And I'd sneak away at the end of each day
          C           G           D
To write sonnets for you I could sing
