Chords for Mary Chapin Carpenter - Sometimes Just The Sky - Glasgow, May 2018

She was telling them, [Am] you know, if you have a calling, [C] if you have something that you're passionate about,
[G] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _
[C] prepared for [G] rejection, for [E] failure, for [G] loss, for all those hard things that are a part of life,
_ [F] that on the [G] other hand, life is so beautiful, [D] _ _ [Em] it gives us [Am] so many.
_ Those beautiful things are [D] right behind us.
[F] No, [B] sometimes, just the skull.
[D] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ Noises in my [A] head, numbers should have trained
[C] Falling [G] like a storm, higher than a hurricane
[D] Lost in this pile of dust, [Am] like a wish that stole each time
[C] Feels like I'm in a frame, [G] I can't remember
[C] Used [F] to be all [D] I needed was what I didn't [G] possess
[F] It makes you, you end [G] up as more of a [D] mess
If ever choice I made, if it worked out, was [Am] just a lucky guess
[C] Just a lucky [G] guess
_ _ _ [F] _ Ventures have discarded, [Am] you have held on
You [C] are dancing on a limb, [G] to the edge, somehow
_ [F] You still pick out the [A] faces, the laughs, forget the names
_ [C] Places [G] that are born, to be urged and made
[F] To throw [D] caution to the wind, or is it to the [G] stars?
[D] To [F] hold out my open [G] hands, to [C] smite my empty heart
To [F] bear my heart upon my [A] sleeve, just like a battle scar
_ [C] _ It's a battle scar
[G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[A] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [F] There's comfort in a late [Am] night kitchen trading low
[C] In a letter [G] sent, an endless sum of what you know
When [F] you don't know anything, [A] you make another one
[C] It's good [G] to write a town, [G] start a hopeless song
[D] Sometimes [F] the church bells, trees, the [C] seasons
Marking [G] times gone by
[C] Sometimes [F] starlit swells, the [D] tidal waves fill [G] the land
[C] Sometimes [F] everything I've watched, but [Am] sometimes just the sky
[C] _ Just the sky
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ We love playing [C] for you everybody, thank you so much for coming tonight
[G] It's nice to hear you
It's nice to hear you
_ _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ That's John [G] Carroll playing the piano ladies and gentlemen Woo!
Woo!
_ [D] Hey [Am] Barnes and Haynes
_ _ _ [C] Guys, John, [G] _
