Florida Chords by Patty Griffin

La la la la la la [G#m] la _ _ la la la la [E] la la la _ _ _ _ [G#m] la la la la la _ la la la la la la [E] la la la _ _ la la la la
Couple of young [B] girls went _ _ sailing down [F#m] 818
Shaking [G#m] their heads off, _ _ _ protected by the [E] holy ghost
_ Flying in from [B] the ocean, _ _ _ driving with [F#] their eyes closed
The _ _ [E] _
night wants to [F#] kiss you, [G#m] me
Their [F#] eyes closed, _ _ _ _
[E] _ the night wants [F#] to kiss you, _
[G#m] me
Be on his way, _ _
[E] _ pretend he don't [F#] know you
_ [B] _
_ Very [F#m] next day, isn't [E] it hard sometimes, _ _ isn't it [G#m] lonely
_ _ _ How I still [E] hang around here, [F#] _ there's nothing [G#m] to hold me
You slide [B] down into the sea, _ _ twelve [G#m] hours on your feet
Get the tide to [E] wash you away
_ _ _ Thousands [F#] and thousands of days, _ _ someone you [G#m] never meet
_ Signs that you can't get [E] every _ week
You try and still [B] can't forget, _ _ all the strangers [F#] that you've met _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ And I'd never [F#] hold you, [C#] _
[G#m] nothing, _ _ anyway _ _ _
[E] _ Makes promises [F#] that he never intends [B] to keep, every [F#] day
Isn't [E] it hard sometimes, _ isn't [G#m] it lonely
_ _ How I still [E] hang around here, [F#] _ _ there's nothing [G#m] to hold me _ _ _ _
[E] _ Every time, [F#] every year, your [G#m] travelers come and go
You see them landing with their [E] pale wings, _ _ flying [F#] back to the snow
And _ the summer [B] comes marching in, _ _ with his [G#m] heavy boots on
_ _ _ Kicking along [E] the blacktop, _ _ _ sidewalks [F#] of 818
_ _ _ Young girls and [G#m] their bare feet, _ _ _ cigarettes [E] smoking
Looking _ _ _ every [B] which _ way, _ _ wishing and [F#] hoping
_ _ _ _ And you want [E] the night just to [F#m] let you _ [G#m] sleep
_ Be on his way, _ _
[E] _ wrap you up in [F#] some cool sheets
[B] And have nothing [F#] to say
Isn't [E] it hard sometimes, _ _ isn't it [G#m] _ lonely
_ _ How I still [E] hang around here, [F#] _ there's nothing to [G#m] hold me _ _
Isn't it [E] hard _ _ sometimes, isn't it [G#m] _ lonely _ _ _
How I still [E] hang around here, _ _ [F#m] _
there's nothing [G#m] to hold me
_ La _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[E] la la la [G#m] la la _ _ _ _
