Chords for Amy Grant & Vince Gill at the Ryman, House of Love

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It was [Cm] December of 1993 [N] when I asked Vince to sing the high harmony part on this song we arranged to do for you.
And it was too high for me. _
_ _ _ _ I'm almost done. _ _
But _ _ it was a romantic song.
I wanted [G] to do it with a [N] man.
And I did not know him very well.
But I heard him sing and I was really kind of a closet stalker of Vince's music. _
I wound up with a CD of his, not because I purchased it, but because a friend of mine, Joanna, was at the Green Hills Mall.
And they had a special at one of the department stores.
If you got two t-shirts, you got a free Mexico suit.
_ _ And she had gone by my house and she said, I only want the shirts.
Do you want the suit?
_ _ I said, sure.
[C]
But I just loved his voice [N] and I invited him to sing on this song.
And I remember it was December 10th because it was my dad's birthday.
And two of my sisters are here tonight.
Kathy, Mimi, Carol, and I had lunch with my dad.
I said, yeah, I'm going to go work in the studio tonight with Vince Gill.
I'm so excited about this.
Little did I know.
Hello. _
_ _ _ _ I'm still crushing about the t-shirt.
_ _ _ _ _ Really nice t-shirt.

[Em] My breath is falling.
Ain't [F] nothing for the darkest night of the day.
[Ab] But then the lights [Bb] are gone and all [C] the lights are below.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ I woke all [G] night.
So the air was so [Am] lush.
He's been out and about.
[G] The deepest cold moment.
[F] Oh, I told him it's strong.
[G] Oh, he needs to hold on.
He's [Dm] got a heart like no other.
He's got to hold on.
He'll do. _
[C] Well, I'll let you hear it all [Em] about a boy.
You may [F] come and find me.
[Bb] _ _
[C] Ain't no doubt about it.
Sometime [Em] in life it's funny.
To think of [F] it, it was obvious now.
[Ab] But then the lights are [Bb] coming on and [C] the house is a mess.
_ [Ab] Lights [Bb] are coming on [C] and the house is a mess.
[Am] _ Remember, she's [G] got a heart like no other.
And you're all on her [Am] side. _
That's clear [G] as day.
But we ain't never made [F] a fight.
There's no breaking [G] from the shape of the world.
[Dm] No, we'll come out as you need it.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[G] Well, [C] I'll let you hear it all [Em] about a boy.
You may [F] come and find me.
_ [Bb] Oh, I told him [C] it's strong.
_ _ Oh, [Em] he _ [F] needs to hold on.
He's got to hold on.
[Ab] He's got to hold on.
The lights [Bb] are coming on and [C] the house _ _ _ [Ab] is a mess.
Lights [Bb] are coming on [C] and the house is _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ [F] a mess.
What's gonna break [G] it?
Some two-tipped [Dm] wall.
We're gonna burn the place down.
_ We're never [G] gonna fall.
[A] We'll [D] let you [Bm] [Gbm] hear it. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [E] _
_ [D] _ _ _ Sometime in life [Gbm] it's funny.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[C] _ [D] We'll let you hear it [Gbm] all about a boy.
I'm not mad [G] at all.
_ _ [E] _ _
I'm not _ [D] mad at all.
Sometime [Gbm] in life it's funny.
We'll [G] let you hear it.
_ [Bb] The lights are [C] coming on and [D] _ the house is a [Bb] mess.
Lights are [C] coming on [D] and the house is a mess.
Lights are coming on and the house is [Bb] _ [Am] _
[Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] a mess.
Thanks for calling me on December 10th.
[N] I need the money. _
_ I need a hundred bucks an hour.
_ No, man, anytime_
I was a country guy, you know.
Anytime I got to [Fm] sing on like a pop star's record, that [Gb] was like awesome to _ [Ab] me.
Always loved getting [Gb] to do something a little different than I [C] normally do.
That stretch of time that Amy was referring to,
when they were giving away T-shirts [Db] and stuff for money,
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
we had a chance to do a couple of things together around that same time.
One was a Christmas show that I had done back home in Oklahoma where I'm from.
She was one of my guests along with Michael McDonald and my heroes,
Chet Atkins came and so we never really spent any time together.
We met a few times but never even had a conversation.
I came home from that trip [D] and _ just, you know,
I heard all these wonderful things about Amy.
Just [Ab] all to be
