[Verse 1]
C                   G
A weed believes the garden
C                    F
Sunday clothes don't fool me
C                      G       C    G
The sky is full of our prayer, prayer
C                    G
When you were making moonlight
C                F
The mall cops in Mobile
C                         G                C   G
The night fell from their eyes, from their eyes
C                G
This is borrowed stone
C                     F
I'd help you let your hair down
C                                G     C   G
Point to birds, then you'd say, "Bang, bang"
C                  G        C              F
The sun left every evening, good grass was dying
C                         G             C   G
You drew your dawn on the world, on the world

[Chorus]
F                          C
Tenderness to you was only talk about a bruise
C               Am          G   F
Or walking into water after dark
C                G
Your papa saw me coming
C                      F
"Blood knows when it's worth it,"
C                             G       C   G
All you said, you said like a song, a song
C                 G
Jesus left a best friend
C            F
Mine says forget her
C                        G             C   G
His field is waiting for wind, for the wind

[Break]
Em              F

Dm              Dm

G               F

[Verse 2]
C               G
Mobile had your moonlight
C                      F
But that line cook had candy
C                              G
You let him blow your candle a bit
C             G
(Hoo hoo hoo, haha)
C                  G
Ring a bell that's broken
C             F
That sound is loud inside us
C               G     C      G
Flowing farther away, far away

[Chorus 2]
F                          C
Tenderness to you was only talk about a bruise
C               Am          G   F
Or walking into water after dark
C               G
Love can last a lifetime
C          F
This is Alabama
    C                      G         C   G
Any wheel is forgiving the road, the road
C                 G         C         F             C
Now you're making music for beautiful people by the sea
C                G            C   G
Who don't need a song, need a song

C             G            C            F     C
Tenderness to you was only talk about a bruise
G          C
This is Alabama
