Chords for Willie Nelson and Bonnie Raitt - Getting Over You - Willie Nelson Tribute 1993

Bonnie Raitt has always been _ one of my favorite _ _ singers and musicians.
Ever since I've known her, she's been as good as she is now, I think.
And actually, it took the world a while to catch on to Bonnie Raitt.
I'm her biggest fan.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Why do I still write?
_ _ [G] _
Why do I still call?
_ _ [C] _
Why do I still think?
[E] _ _ [F] There's hope for us at all.
_ _ _ [C] _
These are the things I hate,
_ [Em] _
[G] but they're the [E] things I do
_ [Am] to [Em] _ _ [F] get [Gm] [C] over you. _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ Sunsets make me cry,
_ [G] old pictures make me grin,
_ _ [C] but I don't really _ care
[F] _ to see your face again.
_ [C] These are the things I say,
but [G] _ they're so hard [E] to do
_ [Am] _ _ [Em]
like [F] it [G] knows [C] you. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ You gotta [F] believe that there's [C] a reason _
_ [F] that [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] we surrender up [C] our heart.
_ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ But [F] there's a vantage point
[C] that it takes some [F] time to find
[G] where you can see how all [F] the pieces fit
[Em] as you watch them fall [G] _ apart.
[C] _ Now I don't think it's right,
_ _ [G] _ _
and you don't know what's wrong.
_ _ _ [C] _
My heart keeps asking me,
_ where do we belong?
[F] _ _ _ [C] It's not as though my life
_ [Gm] ain't hard enough to [Ab] do.
[E] _ _ [Am] _ _
[Em] _ _ [F] _ Try getting over [C] _ _
you. _ _ _ _ _ _
When I heard that Willie was
gonna be [G] making a record
with my friend Don Was,
I sort of nuzzled up to him
and said, Hey Willie,
this is [C] the time I got the tune,
and he said yes.
_ [Cm] And being able [F] to sing
in the studio with him,
I closed my eyes and just
concentrated [C] on the lyrics,
and I would open them,
and there he would be across from me
in the glass, and [G] I'm going,
I'm singing with Willie [Ab] Nelson.
I think that's how everybody [Am] feels tonight.
[E] There's [F] nobody like him.
[G] _ _ [C] You _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
gotta [F] believe that [C] there's a reason _
_ [F] that [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] we surrender up [C] our heart.
_ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ But [F] there's a vantage point
[C] that it takes some [F] time to find
[G] where you can see how all the [Dm] pieces fit
[Em] as you watch them fall _ [Dm] _ apart.
[C] And other people say
_ stop [G] _ _
living in the past.
_ _ _ [C] But when there's nothing left,
[F] it's your memory that _ [C] lasts.
_ It's later than you think.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ Still this isn't [Abm] through.
_ [E] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Em]
This [F] getting [G] over _ [C] _ you.
_ _ _ Now it's later than you think.
[G] And still this isn't [E] through.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E]
This [F] getting [G] over _ _ _ _
[C] you. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ Happy dying. _
