A Song For Katie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [D]know that you're not [G]perfect
[D]Just like I know I am wil[G]d[D]
I know that though were
[G]both grown [D]up
I still feel like a [G]child [D]in side
And I wanna go out [G]dancing
[D]Now that the world retur[G]ned
[D]'Cause Katie when you're dre[G]ssed up
[D]Well, it's hard to find the wor[G]ds[D][A]

[Verse 2]
And if you looked into my [G]soul[D]
And you told me what you [G]see
[D]You'd say I see the mir[G]ror
[D]That you put in front of me[G]
[D]Oh, don't take me to the sta[G]rt
[D]No, I want to go for[G]ward[D]
And baby, if we [G]part[D]
Katie if I [G]hide
[D]Then I can live in your son[G]gs for[D]ever
And you can live in mine
[G][D][A]

[Verse 3]
'Cause Katie when you [G]sing to [D]me
It's like [G]a melody[D]
Comin' off the [G]mountain[D]
Comin' out the [G]sea[D]
Stoppin' at the [G]plains
[D]Up into a Memphis sky[G][D]
Katie, stop the [G]song now
[D]Stop before I [A]cry

[Verse 4]
Stop before I [G]cry[D]
Stop before I [G]cry[D]
Stop before I [G]cry[D]
Stop before I [A]cry

[Verse 5]
And you know they'll feed us [G]fruit
[D]Right before they suck our blo[G]od
[D]While we're face down in the sug[G]ar
[D]While they drag us through the mud[G]
[D]And it's hard to find the fre[G]edom
[D]That we feel when we'[G]re asleep
[D]'Cause right now I am wid[G]e awake
[D]Always stuck inside a dream
And I know that you got [G]secrets
[D]And you know I got them too[G]
[D]'Cause you've seen me
ride a [G]nightmare, honey
[D]And you taught me how to
[G]shoot[D][A]

[Verse 6]
Oh, remember [G]when we [D]met
So dumb and [G]so young
[D]You were still sucking on a bot[G]tle
[D]Like it was sucking on [G]god's thumb
[D]But from stage you would take fli[G]ght
[D]And whistle like a songbir[G]d[D]
While swaying [G]in a blue
[D]dress
You'd turn the crowd [G]in
to a big [D]mess[A]

[Verse 7]
Now Katie, get the [G]car[D]
And Katie, grab the [G]keys
[D]And drive yourself back sou[G]th[D]
'Til the air get[G]s sweet
[D]And baby, take a bre[G]ath
[D]Put a puppy to your che[G]st[D][A]

[Verse 8]
'Cause Katie [G]when you sing to [D]me
It's like [G]a melody[D]
Comin' off the [G]mountain[D]
Comin' out the [G]sea[D]
Stoppin' at the [G]plains
[D]Up into the Memphis sky[G][D]
Katie, stop the [G]song now
[D]Stop before I cry[A]
[G]Stop before

[Verse 9]
[D]I cry
Stop before I [G]cry[D]
Stop before I [G]cry
[D]Stop before I cry[A]

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 10]
You can get [G]lost forever
[D]When your heart is a des[G]ert[D]
And you can lose your [G]mind
[D]When it's stormin' all the tim[G]e
[D]But I wanna go out dan[G]cing
[D]Now that the world retur[G]ned
[D]'Cause Katie when you're dre[G]ssed up,
honey
[D]Well, it's hard to find the wor[G]ds[D]
