_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] It rained [A] _ _ today
[D] _ _ [B] _ Clouds [Bm] rolled up at dawn
_ _ [Em] _ All hell burst wide open
_ _ [A] _ And just like that was gone
_ The little lap dog chased a [D] foxtail squirrel
[Bm] Across the main road through the wood
_ _ [Em] _ Some ninja on a dirt bike
_ _ [A] _ Nearly ran him down for good
_ _ Right about now it gets [D] quiet around here
_ _ [Bm] _ What with nightfall in the wings
_ _ [E] _ [Em] _ Floorboards creak and the faucets leak
_ [A] _ But it's the emptiness that sings
[G] The wind grows chill _ _
_ _ [D] Then [G] lies still _ _
[D] _ Forty miles from nowhere _ _
[A] _ At the bottom of [D] the world _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] November sky
_ _ _ [Bm] _ A diamond studded dome
_ _ [Em] _ A hundred billion points of light
_ _ [A] _ To guide my way back home
_ [D] When the moon [A] is hanging [D] fat and full
_ _ [Bm] And all those jangly stars recede
_ [Em] _ A fold out couch on a midnight porch
_ [A] _ Is where my footsteps lead
_ [G] You always said _
_ _ _ _ [D] I made [G] my bed
_ _ [D] Forty miles from nowhere
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ At the bottom of the [D] world
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] Friends don't call like they used to _
For reasons none [D] unkind
_ _ [Em] _
If there's anything that we can do
_ [G] _
Rings hollow [A] down a telephone line _ _
_ _ [D] _ There's a cedar grove in back of the house
_ [Bm] _ Maybe halfway down the hill
A [Em] _ place to go to just lay low
[A] When we had some time to fill
A _ [D] few [F#m] gravestones, a pre-Civil [D] War fence
_ [Bm] _ And a random arrowhead
_ _ [Em] _ It's where the beehive swarmed three summers ago
[A] _ Too wet, the old man said
_ [D] So it's me and your little lap dog
And that old brindle cat
[Bm] _ Tryin' to keep this place in line
_ _ [Em] _ _ [Bm] Headin' into town [Em] these days
_ [A] _ Is the last thing on my mind
_ [G] I wait for you _ _
_ _ [D] It's what [G] I do _ _
[D] _ Forty miles from nowhere
At [A] _ the bottom of [Bm] the world _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ Forty miles from nowhere
At [A] _ the bottom [D] of the world _ _ _ _ _ _
