John Gorka - Over There
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   G    C  G  
I never ran with the packC  
I'm not alone anymoreG  
I go to work and EmI come backAm  
It's pretty clear what I'm Dworking forC  
Now I know that I Gdon't come firstC  
I know some of what my Gparents knew
It's Cme to we, and Gours from his and hDers
CMore of all that, what you Ghave to do
I Cfigure it's bigger than the Gboth of us too
I Cwouldn't know love if it Gweren't for the likes of yDou
CWho's that Glittle boy over thAmere?
With a Cspoon in his hGand and Amfood in his hDair?
Over CthereG__Am  D  
Over CthereG__D  G  
And the little bit that I give upC  
It's all coming back a Ghundred-fold
It's not lost, if it Emgoes to loveAm  
It rounds you out, sDo you can rollC  
Extra eyes to Gwatch your back
CKeep you honest and Gcut you slack
CWho'd a-known that I would ever Gtalk about that with Dyou
I Csee my family Gwaving from the doorAmway
COnce I went my Gway, Amnow I go Dyour way
Over CthereG__Am  D  
Over CthereG__Am  D  
Over CthereG__Am  D  G

It's me to we, and ours from his and hers

Extra eyes to watch your back

Once I went my way, now I go your way
