[Chorus]
N.C.    C  G
Well in You
         D
The good I'll do
         C
The good I'll do
             G
Oh, the good I'll do
C   G   D  C  Em

[Post-Chorus]
            C
The way the grass smells at night
C
And you got flames all in your eyes
   G
As they reflect the sparkler
G
And you say we'll never die
D
Grabbed me by the hands
        C
Just as callused as I am
        Em
Say you're proud

[Verse 1]
          C
Well it's blue jeans in the driveway
C
And you're walking inside sideways
    G
The wine always affects you
G
In beautiful kind ways
D
Ask me if I'm staying
      C
And I say that I'm
                Em
sleeping on the floor

Won't you tell me that you need me

'Cause latеly I've been needing

Someone to rеmind me

Worth more than just an evening

I awoke to kitchen smoke

You dancing like God's

moved in you before

All damn night

Sundress I'll undress

Turnin' white

Drunk in Tennessee

I don't care where I am

As long as you're with me

Those boys downtown talk so much
