[Verse]
C G C
when the wine stops working and you're all run out
Fmaj7 G C
and all of your high hopes have all headed south
C G C
and the songs left the stable and they never came home
Fmaj7 G C
and there ain't no forgetting that you're out on your own
C G C
turned the scrub oaks to timber and you're left without friends
Fmaj7 G C
and you don't put your book down even after it ends
C G C
smoke curls up from the table in your quiet little room
Fmaj7 G C
(Hit the C bass note, then B bass note in Cmaj9 to go into chorus)
and your heart's worn the handle of an old pushing broom
[Chorus]
Am G C Fmaj7 C G C
broken bottles shi ---- ne just like stars, make a wish anyway
Am G C Fmaj7 C G C
just your smile lit a sixty-watt bulb in my house that was darkened for days
Fmaj7 G C
been thinking you probably should stay
[Verse]
when the going is long gone and the kick drum won't kick
when you fumble with your fiddle and you're fresh out of tricks
and the horseflies are biting but the fish never do
and your heart's a thousand colors but they're all shades of blue
[Chorus]
broken bottles shine just like stars, make a wish anyway
just your smile lit a sixty-watt bulb in my house that was darkened for days
been thinking you probably should stay
Fmaj7 G C
yeah, I think that you probably should stay
[Chorus]
(instrumental with whistling)
Fmaj7 G C
and our dreams on the windowsill
Fmaj7 G C
see those trees turning gold in the hills
