Sturgill Simpson

Capo 3

[Verse 1]
             E
Please don't think me a lazy man
             D                   A                E
Because I've been sitting around all day with the blues
       E
I know how it looks but don't misunderstand
               D            A                E
It's just that I can tell a storm's about to brew
              D       A         E
Cause there's thunder inside my mind
        D         A            E
There's lightning behind these eyes


[Chorus]
          D            A             E
There's a lull and the wind is dying down
             D    A                  E
Don't let it fool you the storm ain't done
             D              A               E
Flood waters rolling in and my hearts gonna drown
           F#m                       A                E
Our love's wilted like a flower that ain't got enough sun

[Verse 2]
         E
Well the thunder in my head might go away
        D                  A                E
And the river of pain will flow back to the sea
   E
If you would only come back home to stay
             D                    A            E
It'd bring a stop to the rain and happiness to me
        E
Well if you would just come back I'd be so grateful
        D    A         E
And the storm would be over
    E                               F#m
The world wouldn't seem so mean and hateful
        D                 A             E
And I'd lay you down on a bed of yellow clover


[Chorus]
          D            A             E
There's a lull and the wind is dying down
             D    A                  E
Don't let it fool you the storm ain't done
             D              A               E
Flood waters rolling in and my hearts gonna drown
           F#m                       A                E
Our love's wilted like a flower that ain't got enough sun

[Chorus]
          D            A             E
There's a lull and the wind is dying down
             D    A                  E
Don't let it fool you the storm ain't done
             D              A               E
Flood waters rolling in and my hearts gonna drown
           F#m                       A                E
Our love's wilted like a flower that ain't got enough sun
