"1200 Miles"
by Shovels and Rope
'Shovels and Rope'
 E   Gx2
EHere to me baby, I've been waiting on you
To dance in the kitchen like we B7used to do
Since you've been gone it's been hard to find
AAnother gal as sweet and kind
Well there's B7twelve hundred miles of space between
New York City and New Orleans
EJust like the air between you and me
Shivers and shakes as I live and Abreathe, as I live and Ebreathe
Well if you Awanna love me baby then I wish you would
Cause I Ewoke up feelin' like damaged goods
And I Alearned to live with the consequence
Of Ehangin' my heart on your barbwire B7fence
Why don't you Etake down your fiddle, rosin up your bow
Play that old love song B7we used to know
I'll sing the high sugar you sing the low
ATake me in your arms and rock me slow
Well if you B7want to take me baby come and go with me
The world is out there for us to see
But if you Elook inside then I think you'll find
My heart was in your pocket honey all the Atime, honey all the Etime
Well if you Awanna love me baby then I wish you would
Cause I Ewoke up feelin' like damaged goods
And I Alearned to live with the consequence
Of Ehangin' my heart on your barbwire B7fence
 A   E   A   E   B7x2
Well Acome on honey let's stitch it up tight
A7b9Be my husband let me be your wife
EWe'll be together every day and night
B7We'll have a miserable life
If you Awanna love me baby then I wish you would
Cause I Ewoke up feelin' like damaged goods
And I Alearned to live with the consequence
Of Ehangin' my heart on your barbwire B7fence
If you Awanna love me baby then I wish you would
Cause I Ewoke up feelin' like damaged goods
And I Alearned to live with the consequence
Of Ehangin' my heart on your B7barbwire Efence

Here to me baby, I've been waiting on you

To dance in the kitchen like we used to do

Since you've been gone it's been hard to find

Another gal as sweet and kind

Well there's twelve hundred miles of space between

New York City and New Orleans

Just like the air between you and me

Shivers and shakes as I live and breathe, as I live and breathe

Well if you wanna love me baby then I wish you would

Cause I woke up feelin' like damaged goods

And I learned to live with the consequence

Of hangin' my heart on your barbwire fence

Why don't you take down your fiddle, rosin up your bow

Play that old love song we used to know

I'll sing the high sugar you sing the low

Take me in your arms and rock me slow

Well if you want to take me baby come and go with me

The world is out there for us to see

But if you look inside then I think you'll find

My heart was in your pocket honey all the time, honey all the time

Well if you wanna love me baby then I wish you would
