[Intro] 
Eb Ebsus4 x4


[Verse 1]
Eb                   Ebsus4
The morning came in '63
Eb                      Ebsus4
Your eyes were blue and you were still a
Eb        Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
songbird
Bb/D                     Bbsus4   Bb
With a pack of smokes and English poems
Bb  Bsus4              Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
You read to me like I was a king
Eb                Ebsus4         Eb
And I was still avoiding all the things
              Ebsus4          Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
You weren't supposed to be in love with anymore
Bb/D                     Bbsus4
You remember dates and all these ways
Bb/D                   Bbsus4     Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
To keep yourself from spillin' on the floor


[Chorus 1]
Eb                               Ab
You were more than I could ever dream
        Bb            Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
In the time, you were free


[Verse 2]
Eb                   Ebsus4   Eb
The days were led by men like JFK
          Ebsus4   Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
And even Lennon and McCartney
Bb/D                     Bbsus4   Bb
You were mine to keep and mine to hold
Bb/D                     Bbsus4
The day you pulled me through your open
Eb     Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
door
Eb                   Ebsus4          Eb
Remember driving through the canyon bend?
        Ebsus4       Eb     Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
You were terrified of landslides
Bb/D                      Bbsus4
You'd close your eyes and then describe
Bb/D                     Bbsus4 Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
The rollin' hills of Nashville, Tennessee


[Chorus 2]
Eb                                   Ab
I've been holdin' on to all my dreams
        Bb              Ab
And I'm tired of wakin' up
Eb                         Ab
You were my favorite broken heart
       Bb             Ab Absus2 Ab Absus2
In the time, we were free


[Verse 3]
Eb            Ebsus4         Eb
Suddenly I'm sinkin' to the bottom of the
Ebsus4          Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
Mississippi River
Bb/D                  Bbsus4
With a note in hand A final plan
   Bb/D                     Bbsus4   Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
To keep you here upon this mortal Earth
Eb            Ebsus4                Eb
Then I'm wide awake and drenched in sweat
           Ebsus4            Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
Like I was swimmin' with the soldiers
Bb/D                   Bbsus4
I don't mind you being gone for good
     Bb/D                   Bbsus4   Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
It's just the fact that I'm not with you there


[Chorus 2]
Eb                                   Ab
Well, I've been holdin' on to all my dreams
Bb                      Ab
And I'm tired of wakin' up
Eb                          Ab
You were my favorite broken heart
        Bb           Ab Absus2 Ab Absus2
In the time, we were free
