E                           A
My baby’s at home with her radio on
      B                      E
A hot meal and a tall stiff drink
                         A
I think I’ll sing her a lullaby
          B                   E
And I’ll watch her fall fast asleep
                              A
One day she walked by me and lightning was striking
         B                        E
And the clouds they were burning black
                                 A
She swept back her hair and the clouds they did stare
        B                        E
As the sunshine pushed it’s way back…


(chorus)
E                     A            B                   E
And there’s only one place I wanna be when the day is done
                               A
Well that’s lying half stoned outta my mind
B                   E
Wrapped up in your love.


E                       A
I spent some time on a California line
      B                    E
I was shipping parts back east
                               A
And the day soon came they released me from my chains
      B                      E
I had all the money that I’d need
                                     A
And them greyhounds ran slow and the hours ran long
        B                   E
Awe but I was finally on my way
                                       A
I stepped through the doorway and that big house was empty
          B                  E
And there ain’t no words to explain…


(repeat chorus)

E                                A
Well, someday I’ll die from the pains in my life
        B                          E
And I’m sent where there’s pain no more
                         A
All I can say is there’d better be a way
           B                         E
For me to hold close the one that I adore
                    A                  B                  E
Heaven’s a place no one wants to face before the time is through
                     A                        B             E
And if ever a realm existed in hell, It would be me without you…
