_ _ _ _ _ Let's have another song.
Okay.
Oops.
I didn't get ready for this.
Sorry guys _
dropping the ball
This one's called Texas 81 _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [B] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] You sat out on the front steps
_ _ _ _ _ Shared a cigarette
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And that was Texas _ 81
_ We were young but starting [E] to forget _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ We watched the neighbors go [E] to bed _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ They fed the dog
shut the light
We were on _ [B] _ again _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
We both knew that you'd be late _
Four kids woke up
[E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
He'd never been kind _ _
I'd never been nobody's
[E] _ _
But _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
as the sun came [E] to rise
_ _ _ _ We [F#] were running out of shadow
_ [E] And hide ourselves behind
_ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ Don't [D#m] let go
Yeah, _ _ _ would [C#m] you love me one more time?
For [F#] we raised the blinds and made the bed
[B] _ _
_ _ My _ [E] little train wreck
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _
Your eyes are smiling _ [F#] but your cheeks [C#] are [F#] wet
_ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
You fell asleep just like we used to
Legs all tangled [E] and chained
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
I know you dreamed that bus used to
Heard you talking [E] in your sleep
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
And I would have held you all [E] day long
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
But when I opened up [E] my eyes
You were already gone
_ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ Don't [D#m] let go
Yeah, _ _ would [C#m] you love me one more time?
For [F#] we raised the blinds and made the bed
[B] _ _
_ _ _ My [E] little train wreck
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _
Your eyes are smiling
[F#] But your cheeks are [B] wet _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
