Gather round ladies, gather round

Hear the news that’s comin’ down

The ships are in and the sails are down

The boys are back in town

Get your skirts down off the rack

The boys are in and the boys are back

And no time now for takin’ slack

The boys are back in town

Well the boys are back in town, your true love can be found

Gather round the old playground, the boys are back in town

I am a soul__ of constant sorrow
I’ve seen trouble all my days

No pleasure here on earth I’ve found
All through this world__ I’m bound to wander
There is no one to help me now

INSTRUMENTAL: G F C G F C D

You can bury me in some deep valley
For many a year in peace I’ll lay

But there’s one pro__omise that is given
I’ll meet you in god’s golden land

(verse 1)
Love, love’s a chamelon, makes one in a million,
Feel like too much of the same,[-][Gsus-G]
But leave, leave it behind you, and love will remind you,
It was only you that changed oh,

(chorus)
I’d give all my dreams give up my home,
And every-thing I’ve ever known,
To have you back again To have you back again,
I’d stand in the rain no place to hide,
Drown in my shame swallow my pride,
To have you back again to have you back again,[-]

(verse 2)
Time, time is a river, flowing forever,
Away from the sound of your heart,[-][Gsus-G]
Only you, can break this silence, whisper forgiveness,
And let me back into your heart, ohh,

(chorus)
I’d give all my dreams give up my home,
And everything I’ve ever known,
To have you back again,
To have you back again,
I’d stand in the rain no place to hide,
Drown in my shame swallow my pride,
To have you back again,
To have you back again,[-]

(bridge)
And I know I never loved you,
The way you needed to be love,
But I know that I could learn to,
If we both have faith enough Oh,

(chorus)
I’d give all my dreams give up my home,
And everything I’ve ever known,
To have you back again,
To have you back again,
I’d stand in the rain no place to hide,
Drown in my shame swallow my pride,
To have you back again,
to have you back again,[-]
To have you To have you
to have you back again, [-]

Verse One
I’ll tell you what, we’re in a rut, we’re in a deep rut
So habitual, predictable I’ll tell you what we oughta do
We oughta drive away, fly away, find a way to get away
We need a break from the same old same old nothing new
I wanna go out on a limb, on a whim, yeah that’s the kind of mood I’m in

Chorus
Let’s go somewhere, nowhere we’ve heard of, Hang the sign out, “Do no disturb us”
Get a wakeup call about three p.m. that’s the kind of mood I’m in
A little shakeup, take the chain and rattle it, try to catch the wind and saddle it
F# E F# N/C B E B E
Fall in love all over again… Yeah That’s the kind of mood I’m in

Verse Two
I tell you this, I want to kiss, I want a long kiss
The kind of deep-down-move-the-ground thing you used to do to me
I wanna dance a little, dream a little, baby, just live a little
Make my heart rate elevate, bring it up a few degrees
Get me gone with the wind, now and then, yeah that’s the kind of mood I’m in

Chorus
Let’s go somewhere, nowhere we’ve heard of, Hang the sign out, “Do no disturb us”
Get a wakeup call about three p.m. that’s the kind of mood I’m in

Fall in love all over again… Yeah That’s the kind of mood I’m in

INTRO: C F C Dm7 C

I remember this town
With a love by my side
And a peace seldom felt
In this day and time

And it gets melancholy
Every now and again
When you let your mind go
And it drifts way back when

Life plays it’s tricks
Some are cruel, but fair
And even a fool can
Pretend they don’t care

CHORUS:
When there’s too many memories for one heart to hold
Once a future so bright, now seems so distant and cold
And the shadows grow long and your eyes look so old
When there’s too many memories for one heart to hold

INTERLUDE: C F C Dm7 C

There are those moments
And they just never fade
Like the look in his eyes
And the way the light played

Love moved in that moment
And the angels all cried
And they gave you a memory
That you’ll have ‘til you die

Now the lesson you learned
And you don’t dare forget
What makes you grow old
Is replacing hope with regret

CHORUS:
When there’s too many memories for one heart to hold
Once a future so bright, now seems so distant and cold
And the shadows grow long and your eyes look so old
When there’s too many memories for one heart to hold

CHORUS:
When there’s too many memories for one heart to hold
Once a future so bright, now seems so distant and cold
And the shadows grow long and your eyes look so old
When there’s too many memories for one heart to hold

OUTRO: C F C Dm7 C

She loved him most when his eyes were grey
The palest shade of a winter day
They filled her with a raging fire
And a bittersweet desire

She shined for him like candlelight
That softly beckons in the night
But he said no right to her face
Then simply turned and walked away

CHORUS:
All heaven watched from way on high
True love given and denied
And while her heart was broke and bleeding
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings

She wore him like a lock and chain
Only in dreams she spoke his name
By day it slept upon her tongue
The taste of unrequited love

Now her hair is long and grey
The palest shade of a winter day
She never took a ring of gold
She swears she never loved a soul

CHORUS:
All heaven watched from way on high
True love given and denied
And while her heart was broke and bleeding
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings

She loved him most when his eyes were grey

Chorus:
You’re so pretty, look so sweet
Your love’s sweepin me off of my feet
You’re the only one I’m dreamin of
I can’t believe that I’m falling in love

Verse
Who knows how love starts
I woke up with you in my heart
Timber I’m falling in love

Instrumental

Chorus:
You’re so pretty, look so sweet
Your love’s sweepin me off of my feet
You’re the only one I’m dreamin of

Verse
Who knows how love starts
I woke up with you in my heart
Timber I’m falling in love

Timber I’m falling in love(repeat this line

When the day turns into dusk
The shadows start to fall
And this empty bed’s as big as Arkansas
When I’m drifting off to sleep
Something in my broken heart rewinds
He’s the last thing, he’s the last thing on my mind

Now, rushing through the day
I might seem improved
There isn’t time to second guess my foolish moves
No, I can only see
Once the lights go out
What it is that I can live with and without

When the day turns into dusk
The shadows start to fall
And this empty bed’s as big as Arkansas
When I’m drifting off to sleep
Something in my broken heart rewinds
He’s the last thing, he’s the last thing on my mind

Break: F C C F F Bb Bb F F C C Bb C

When the day turns into dusk
The shadows start to fall
And this empty bed’s as big as Arkansas
When I’m drifting off to sleep
Something in my broken heart rewinds
He’s the last thing, he’s the last thing on my mind Oh yeah
He’s the last thing, he’s the last thing on my mind Oh yeah

I don’t love him anymore

Oh, the trouble with the truth is
It’s always the same old thing
So hard to forget
So impossible for me to change

Every time I try to fight it[Am-G-]
I know I’ll be left to blame
Oh, the trouble with the truth is
It’s always the same old thing

N.C. G
And the trouble with the truth is
It’s just what I need to hear
A-ringing so right
Deep down inside my ear

And it’s everything I want
And it’s everything I fear
Oh, the trouble with the truth is
It’s just what I need to hear

BRIDGE:
Yeah, it ruined the taste of the sweetest lies
C ~ Am
Burned through my best alibis
Every sin that I deny

Keeps hanging ‘round my door
Oh, the trouble with the truth is
It always begs for more

CHORUS:
N.C. C F
That’s the trouble (that’s the trouble with the truth)
Trouble with the truth (that’s the trouble, that’s the trouble)
That’s the trouble (that’s the trouble with the truth)
Trouble with the truth (that’s the trouble, trouble with the truth)

N.C. G
And the trouble with the truth is
It just won’t let me rest
I run and hide
But there’s always another test

And I know that it won’t let me be[Am-G-]
‘Til I’ve given it my best
The trouble with the truth is
It just won’t let me rest

CHORUS:
N.C. C F
That’s the trouble (that’s the trouble with the truth)
Trouble with the truth (that’s the trouble, that’s the trouble)
That’s the trouble (that’s the trouble with the truth)
Trouble with the truth (that’s the trouble, that’s the trouble)

CHORUS:
That’s the trouble (that’s the trouble with the truth)
Trouble with the truth (that’s the trouble, that’s the trouble)
That’s the trouble (that’s the trouble with the truth)
N.C.
Trouble with the truth
