If You Ever Leave

[Verse]

D                              Em
As the Psychedelic cowboy left impressions,
     A                           D
On a half empty bar room he just played
D                                      Em
And the hippie girl from Austin waited patiently
       A                               D
in the alley to fulfill the plans they made
D                                       Em
So they drove the Studebaker toward the sunrise
    A                             D
and pulled into the cactus tree motel
D                                     Em
The sky glowed like mesculine around them
    A                                D
 as they promised love no love song could fulfill


[Chorus]

D           G               A
If you ever leave I’m going with you
D               G             A
Words whispered softly in the night
D                           G
We may have been high, when we wrote it the sky
     Em                    A              D
But I’ll keep that promise with me till I die


[Verse]

D                               Em
A wild painted pony crossed the highway
   A                             D
An omen that we both thought was good
D                         Em
Like a morning lullaby or eagle as she flies
A                              D
signs we could have not misunderstood


[Chorus]

D           G               A
If you ever leave I’m going with you
D               G             A
Words whispered softly in the night
D                           G
We may have been high, when we wrote it the sky
     Em                    A              D
But I’ll keep that promise with me till I die

[Verse]

D                                      Em
Now the years twist us like two Broken arrows
    A                                D
But our symphony still plays a sweet refrain
D                                    Em
Just lofty love and laughter we gave into
    A                                  D
Two old weathered hearts that dared to dream


[Chorus]

D           G               A
If you ever leave I’m going with you
D               G             A
Words whispered softly in the night
D                           G
We may have been high, when we wrote it the sky
     Em                    A              D
But I’ll keep that promise with me till I die
    Em                    A              D
Oh I’ll keep that promise with me till I die
