[Verses]
Cmaj7         Em Bm
I'm an engine driver
Cmaj7          G    D
On a long run, on a long run
Cmaj7          Em   Bm
Would I were beside her
Cmaj7             G      D
She's a long one, such a long one

Cmaj7            G       D     Cmaj7 Em Bm
And if you don't love me let me go
Cmaj7            G       D     Cmaj7 Em Bm
And if you don't love me let me go

Cmaj7        Em  Bm
I'm a county lineman
Cmaj7            G      D
On the highline, on the highline
Cmaj7         Em   Bm
So will be my grandson
Cmaj7                G      D
There are powerlines in our bloodlines

Cmaj7            G       D     Cmaj7 Em Bm
And if you don't love me let me go
Cmaj7            G       D     Cmaj7 Em Bm
And if you don't love me let me go

G          Bm                Em
And I am a writer, writer of fictions
         C                   G
I am the heart that you call home
                 Bm         Em
And I've written pages upon pages
          C               F E
Trying to rid you from my bones
   F E
My bones

My bones


[Interlude:]
Cmaj7 Em Bm Cmaj7 G D
Cmaj7 Em Bm Cmaj7 G D

Cmaj7       Em Bm
I'm a money lender
Cmaj7           G    D
I have fortunes upon fortunes
Cmaj7            Em Bm
Take my hand for tender
Cmaj7         G    D
I am tortured ever tortured

Cmaj7            G       D     Cmaj7 Em Bm
And if you don't love me let me go
Cmaj7            G       D     Cmaj7 Em Bm
And if you don't love me let me go

G          Bm                Em
And I am a writer, writer of fictions
         C                   G
I am the heart that you call home
                 Bm         Em
And I've written pages upon pages
          C               G
Trying to rid you from my bones
       Bm
I am a writer
     Em                C     G
I am all that you have home, home
                 Bm         Em
And I've written pages upon pages
          C               F E
Trying to rid you from my bones
   F E
My bones

My bones

Cmaj7             G       D     
(And if you don't love me let me go)
