God I'm Missing You
Written by Rodney Crowell with Mary Karr
Recorded by Rodney Crowell
(Capo on 4)
Intro.: (G) x 4 bars
(G)I heard a siren and (D/F#)you came to mind
You were the (C)pretty part of us, (G) I'm (D/F#)what's left behind
The e-(C)quation's remainder, the (D)last standing sign
God, I'm (G)missing you
Your (G)mouth's still so soft, your (D/F#)countenance fair
Time (C)stretches to shape (G) you right (D/F#)out of thin air
But it (C)can't hold the image, if I (D)blink you're not there
God, I'm (G)missing you
(Chorus)
Are (D)you gone forever, are (G)you gone for good?
Or (D)have I gone crazy (G)wishing you would?
Come a-(C)round the next corner, step (G)off of that train (C)
Your (G)old black umbrella face (D)half in the rain
God, I'm (G)missing you
Solo: |(G) |(D) |(C) |(D) |(C) |(D) |(G) |(G)
You're (G)every curled rose bud en-(D/F#)chanting my eye
Each (C)turned-up cold collar (G) and your (D/F#)gaze slides by
There's a (C)sanded-down moon in a (D)tarpaper sky
God, I'm (G)missing you
The (G)night's down to nothing, the (D/F#)stars have withdrawn
The ho-(F)rizon splits open that (C/E)silvery dawn
But the (G)ghost of your breathing won't (D)leave me alone
God, I'm (G)missing you
(Chorus)
Are (D/F#)you gone forever, are (G)you gone for good?
Or (D/A)have I gone crazy, (G/B)wishing you would?
Come a-(C)round the next corner, step (G)off of that train (C)
Your (G)old black umbrella face (D/F#)half in the rain
God, I'm (G)missing you
