Trace Adkins

^D Long legged shadows,
^A Mississippi sunset,
^D She was standing like a candle,
^G That hadn't been burned yet.
^D The wind was blowing,
^A The clouds like ashes,
^D Had my hand in my pocket,
^G Reaching for my matches.
^D I can see those cotton sheets da ^A ncing,
^D On her momma's clothesline in my ^A head,
^D >From my lips a Lucky Strike was ^A dangling,
^D The day was dying in a sea of re ^A d.
CHORUS
^D Then came the night, ^A Warm and dark,
^G Dragging it's chains, ^A Across our hearts.
^D The moon was full, ^A The grass was wet
^G Making us scream, ^A Making us sweat
^D Holding on tight, ^A It was wrong, it was right
^D Then came the night ^G
D There was a time
^A When love was a flower
^D Now it's a vine
^G Clinbing up the tower
^D And the river just rolls
^A Past the garden
^D Where love won't grow
^G And the ground is hardened.
^D I can see that t ^A attered white flag flying
^D I can hear the r ^A inging mission bell
^D Telling of the i ^A nnocence that's dying
^D A sound that I r ^A emember oh so well.
CHORUS
^D Then came the night, ^A Warm and dark
^G Dragging its chains, ^A Across our hearts
^D The moon was full, ^A The grass was wet
^G Making us scream, ^A Making us sweat
^D Making us cling, ^G Making us claw
^D Making us rise, ^A Making us fall
^D Breath on breath, ^A Skin on skin
^G I can't go back, ^A There again
^D Holdin on tight, ^A It was wrong, it was right
^D Then came the night. ^G
