Capo 5th Fret (to match original recording)
(to play without capo, G=C, C=F, Cadd9=Fadd9, D=G, Em=Am, and Am7=Dm7)
Intro: (Em) (D) (C) (Em) (D) (C)
They have (G) signs that tell you to stop and (C) signs that say slow (G) down
(Em) Signs that tell you it’s a (D) dead-end road and you (C) better turn around
(G) Signs for the price of gas and (C) signs with a Bible verse
But they (Em) don’t make a sign with a (C) flashing light to (D) tell you that you’re losing her
They (G/B) ought to make a (Cadd9) sign of a girl with a tear in her eye
Luggage in her hand waving goodbye
(Em) Two taillights slinging (D) gravel out a private (Cadd9) drive
They (G/B) ought to draw a (Cadd9) man on his knees praying to the Lord
Light them both up like a big billboard
To miss (Em) something like that a (D) man would have to be (Cadd9) blind
Not to see the (Em) signs
(D) (C)
There’s a sign for a dozen roses that I pass every day
Just before I read the one that tells me I’m getting on the interstate.
It’s 80 miles to Dallas From the exit where I live
Well that one probably wouldn’t hurt so much, if it wasn’t for the ones I missed
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Like the (G) one she tried to (Am7) give me just be(G)fore the night she (C) left
That I (G) should of seen all al(Am7)ong
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Em) Lord, how could (D) I have been so (Cadd9) blind
Not to see the (Em) signs
