Damn Love Song

CAPO: 5 How can I carve your name in the trunk of a tree That'll be here long after we're gone? I can't even write it in the steam on the mirror And with nobody listening, not even myself It's as much as I can do To whisper those words in your ear After all of these years, look at me here With a love song stuck in my throat Got the weight of the world on my shoulders, I won't let it go How can I dive right down in the deep blue sea And still hope to find my way home? When I stumble on my way to the shore And when all of the airplanes, all of the cars And all the miles in the world Are sometimes not enough to quite reach your door After all of these years, will you look at me here With a love song stuck in my throat Got the weight of the world and there's not too much else I can hold Bridge: What if my chances run out someday Life's not my batting machine? What if it stops throwing pitches before I hit one clean? How can I lie beside you night after night And pick at the lock on your heart? Never once opened my own 'Cause the last time it got free, it just cut and run Like a stray out in the street And it took about all I had just to make it come home After all these years, is the time drawing near When a love song flies from my throat? Can I lay down the weight of the world by the side of the road___ Lay down the weight of the world and call myself home___ Lay down the weight of the world?
