D
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
            G                      D
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they'd gather 'round and started talking
A7
That's when Billy would take me walking
A-through the back yard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise


[Chorus]

D
The only one who could ever reach me
G                   D
Was the son of a preacher man
D
the only boy who could ever teach me
G                    D
Was the son of a preacher man
A              G
Yes he was, he was,     mmm, yes he was
[Verse 2] 

D
Being good isn't always easy
G                      D
No matter how hard I'd try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
A7
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight


[Chorus]

(Yes, he was)

How well I remember
G
The look was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
A7
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
D7
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Look at us here, how much we've grown

        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus

Son, I missed my chance

Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

A mí me gusta la carne que está tierna
muslitos y pechugas y hacerlos vuelta y vuelta.
Mientras los otros que comen que da miedo
disfrutan como locos chupándose los dedos.

La vecina que es muy mona
toma el Sol en la tumbona.
Yo les hago algo sencillo
pero quiere el solomillo
que le gusta mucho más.

LA barbacoa, LA barbacoa.

C#m           E            B    A            C#m   E   B   A
Don’t try to call my telephone it’s disconnected
C#m           E          B       A               C#m   E   B   A
And I don’t know where I’m going but can you guide me
C#m              E        B        A              C#m   E   B   A
But if I find love where I’m going will it survive me


PRE-CHORUS 1:

C#m            B   A                         C#m         A   B
‘Cause in your own space you’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not affected
C#m         B   A                           C#m         A   B
And in your own time you’re still attracted but in your own life


CHORUS:

A                                 C#m            B
This heart attack I’ve gotta get away not coming back
A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time


{CHORUS x2}


Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

C#5  B5  A5                      C#5  A5  B5
            I’ve got your back              but you don’t got mine
C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5
            This heart attack              then I’m feeling fine


CHORUS x2

C#m          E       B    A 
I’m going away to be alone
C#m          E       B    A 
I'm going away to be alone ...............

E                      B
You have always got to move
                        A
You're always trying to prove
                        E
That there is something new 
                  B
In everything you do

E                      B
You are mostly in your car, 
                   A
You always seem so far,
                    E 
No matter where you are,
                        B 
You're thinking of your car, 


# CHORUS
B                  A                    B
And everything you say is really just a play
                    E                         A
For you to get your way and I found out yesterday
A                       E                          B 
That no matter what you say and no matter what you do
B                       E
That you have got to...

E                      B
You have always got to move
                        A
You're always trying to prove
                        E
That there is something new 
                  B
In everything you do

E                     B
You are mostly on the phone, 
                      A
You say you're coming home, 
                     E
You say you're all alone, 
                         B
But I know you're not alone. 

# CHORUS

A                       E                          B 
That no matter what you say and no matter what you do
B                       E
That you have got to move

E                      B
You have always got to move

You're always trying to prove

E         A           D
where you stop nobody knows 
       E                B

            A                             F#
turned into someone that you only know 
            D                    E
when you're falling through your clothes 


run run run deep breath then jump 
roll with your vertigo stomp 
now you're clear but gone down 
you've been cleared of every charge understand 

you've turned into someone that you only know 
when you're falling through your clothes

End with A
