This first verse is sung without accompaniment:
Tell her I'm lost,
but that's alright,
'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.
Only messengers can tell her
how I'm missing her tonight.
Much of the song is played with a fancy finger picking rhythm, but these are the chords used.
[Intro]
G   C   G
[Verse 1]
GIf you're looking for her,
she's right down the road.
She'll be sCadd9itting on a swing in the sun
making stones turn into gGold.
Let her kDnow that the family she kCadd9new
keeps her locket and kGeys.
Tell her eDverything is fine
and she's mCadd9issed like the winds miss the tGrees.
[Verse 2]
GAnd if you're searching for her,
she's out shedding light.
She's the Cadd9one you can't miss
'cause her smile makes the sun seem less bGright.
But if you fDind her, be still
tell her eCadd9verything about the time you've kGilled.
Let her kDnow that the bad times will Cadd9pass
and I miss her like hGell.
[Chorus]
Cadd9Tell her I'm lGost,
but that's alrDight,
'cause after tEmiwenty-something yDears, I can Cadd9barely walk the lGine.
Only mEmiessengers can tDell her how I'm mCadd9issing her tGonight.
[Verse 3]
GIf you're searching for worth,
you'll find it with her,
but she'll Cadd9ask for your trust
'cause it's hard being shown how to lGearn.
So let her kDnow that the stars haven't Cadd9moved;
God, I hope they're the sGame.
Tell her lDife could be worse,
and I'm tCadd9rying my best now to cGhange.
[Chorus]
Cadd9Tell her I'm lGost,
but that's alDright,
'cause after twEmienty-something yDears, I can bCadd9arely walk the lGine.
Only mEmiessengers can tDell her how I'm mCadd9issing her tGonight.
[Verse 4]
GBut if it's after the dawn,
be sure you're alone,
'cause she's the Cadd9kind best enjoyed like a pool under cottonwoods and stGones.
So let her laDugh wash you clean,
like the Cadd9rains on the tilted window paGnes.
Give her eveDrything and more,
and she'll Cadd9give you the world in excGhange.
[Chorus]
Cadd9Tell her I'm lGost,
but that's alrDight,
'cause after twEmienty-something yeDars, I can Cadd9barely walk the lGine.
Only mesEmisengers can tDell her how I'm mCadd9issing her toGnight.
[Bridge]
And tell her eEmiverything is good,
but I Cadd9miss how her eyes would tGake me hDome.
And tell her lEmiife is getting faster
and I Cadd9miss the way she'd make you mGove so sDlow.
And tell her Emihow I'm still alive
and how I Cadd9wish I was something I could bGoast.
'Cause I'm Emiup in the sky now
and the Cadd9stars have never seemed this clGose.
[Chorus]
Cadd9Tell her I'm lGost,
but that's alrDight,
'cause after twEmienty-something yeDars, I can bCadd9arely walk the lGine.
Only mesEmisengers can tDell her how I'm mCadd9issing her toGnight.
[Outro]
GSo if you're searching for love,
she's right down the road.
She'll be sCadd9itting on a swing in the sun
making stones turn to gGold.

Cadd9

Emi

This first verse is sung without accompaniment:

Tell her I'm lost,

but that's alright,

'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.

Only messengers can tell her

how I'm missing her tonight.

Much of the song is played with a fancy finger picking rhythm, but these are the chords used.

[Intro]

G C G

[Verse 1]

If you're looking for her,

she's right down the road.

Cadd9

She'll be sitting on a swing in the sun

making stones turn into gold.

D Cadd9

Let her know that the family she knew

keeps her locket and keys.

Tell her everything is fine

Cadd9 G

and she's missed like the winds miss the trees.

[Verse 2]

And if you're searching for her,

she's out shedding light.

Cadd9

She's the one you can't miss

'cause her smile makes the sun seem less bright.

But if you find her, be still

Cadd9 G

tell her everything about the time you've killed.

D Cadd9

Let her know that the bad times will pass

and I miss her like hell.

[Chorus]

Cadd9 G

Tell her I'm lost,

but that's alright,

Emi D Cadd9 G

'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.

Emi D Cadd9 G

Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.

[Verse 3]

If you're searching for worth,

you'll find it with her,

Cadd9

but she'll ask for your trust

'cause it's hard being shown how to learn.

D Cadd9

So let her know that the stars haven't moved;

God, I hope they're the same.

Tell her life could be worse,

Cadd9 G

and I'm trying my best now to change.

[Chorus]

Cadd9 G

Tell her I'm lost,

but that's alright,

Emi D Cadd9 G

'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.

Emi D Cadd9 G

Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.

[Verse 4]

But if it's after the dawn,

be sure you're alone,

Cadd9 G

'cause she's the kind best enjoyed like a pool under cottonwoods and stones.

So let her laugh wash you clean,

Cadd9 G

like the rains on the tilted window panes.

Give her everything and more,

Cadd9 G

and she'll give you the world in exchange.

[Chorus]

Cadd9 G

Tell her I'm lost,

but that's alright,

Emi D Cadd9 G

'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.

Emi D Cadd9 G

Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.

[Bridge]

Emi

And tell her everything is good,

Cadd9 G D

but I miss how her eyes would take me home.

Emi

And tell her life is getting faster

Cadd9 G D

and I miss the way she'd make you move so slow.

Emi

And tell her how I'm still alive

Cadd9 G

and how I wish I was something I could boast.

Emi

'Cause I'm up in the sky now

Cadd9 G

and the stars have never seemed this close.

[Chorus]

Cadd9 G

Tell her I'm lost,

but that's alright,

Emi D Cadd9 G

'cause after twenty-something years, I can barely walk the line.

Emi D Cadd9 G

Only messengers can tell her how I'm missing her tonight.

[Outro]

So if you're searching for love,

she's right down the road.

Cadd9

She'll be sitting on a swing in the sun

making stones turn to gold.
