Verse 1

I had a dream last night we

Drove out to see Las Vegas

We lost ourselves in the bright lights

I wish you could have seen us

Begging for change to get home

Or at least San Francisco

Let's put a ten on the high card

And spent a summer on the west coast

Refrain

Down and to the left

(Here's a map and a pen

this place, you point it out)

We can't live four years past

(All I ask, all I ask)

Chorus

And please don't tell

me that I am dreaming

When all I ever wanted was to

dream another sunset with you

If I roll over When it's over

I'll take this Cali sunrise with me

And wake up with the fondest memories

Verse 2

We made love by the ocean

As the waves crashed around you

The sunset's never were so bright

And the skies never so blue

You opened up into my arms

And we laughed as I held you

I'll never go back to Georgia

Not at least 'till I have to

(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)

Key:

Chords: using Standard EADGBe

Verse 1

The words are coming I feel terrible

Is it typical for us to end like this

Am I just another scene

From a movie that you've seen 100 times

Cause baby you weren't the first

or the last or the worst

And I've got to fill the blanks

in the past with a verse

And we could sit around and cry

but frankly you're not worth it Anymore

Chorus 1

So say hello to all the boys at

the top of this table that your under

Lipstick lullabies

This is sorry for the last time

And baby I understand that

you're making new friends

This is how you get by

The moral this time is

Girls make boys cry

Interlude

Am--F-Dm

Verse 2

On any other day I'd shoot

the boy but your simple toy

Had caused a scene like this

Leave him hanging on the walls

Just a picture in the hall

Like 100 more (like 100 more)

Consider this as a gift as

you taste him on your lips

And he's making you scream

with his hands on your hips

I hope he's leaving you empty

baby this is just a fix

For such a simple little whore

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge

And your name

remains the same

All that has changed

is this pretty face

So pull the trigger

It never gets closer

You want to start over

But never start over

It never gets closer

You want to start over

But never start over

Chorus 2

So say hello to all the boys at

the top of this table that your under

Lipstick lullabies

This is sorry for the last time

And baby I understand that

you're making new friends

This is how you get by

Girls make boys cry

Say hello say hello

Lipstick lullabies

This is sorry for the last time

And baby I understand that

Verse 1

Katie don't cry I know you're trying your hardest

And the hardest part is letting go

Of the nights we shared

Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting

but compared to your eyes

nothing shines quite as bright

And when we looked to the sky

It’s not mine but I want it So...

Chorus

Let’s not pretend like

you're alone tonight

(I know he's there and)

You’re probably hanging

out and making eyes

(While across the room he stares)

I'll bet he gets the

nerve to walk the floor

And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes

(Because these words were

never easier for me to say or

Her to second-guess but I guess)

That I can live without you but

(Without I'll be miserable at best)

Verse 2

You’re all that I hoped I'd find

In every single way

And everything I would give

Is everything you couldn't take

Cause nothing feels like home

You’re a thousand miles away

And the hardest part of living

Is just taking breaths to stay

Cause I know I'm good for something

I just haven't found it yet

And I need it so...

Bridge

And this will be the first time in a week

That I'll talk to you and I can't speak

And I got the point that I should leave you alone

But we both know that I'm not that strong

And I miss the lips that made me fly so...

And You swore you saw me laughing

and I swore I saw you smile

Knowing that for someone you're

an angel sent to save

Verse 1

I swear that you don't have to go

I thought we could wait for the fireworks

I thought we could wait for the snow

To wash over Georgia and kill the hurt

I thought I could live in your arms

And spend every moment I had with you

Stay up all night with the stars

Confess all the faith that I had in you

(I had in you)

Refrain

To late, I'm sure and lonely

Another night, another dream wasted on you

Just be here now against me

You know the words so sing along for me baby

Chorus

For heaven's sake I know you're sorry

But you won't stop crying

This anniversary may never be the same

Inside I hope you know I'm dying

With my heart beside me

In shattered pieces that may never be replaced

And if I died right now you'd never be the same

Verse 2

I thought with a month of apart

Together would find us an opening

And moonlight would provide the spark

And that I would stumble across the key

Or break down the door to your heart

Forever could see us not you and me

And you'd help me out of the dark

And I'd give my heart as an offering

(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
