Half Mile Hill Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Half Mile Hill, eight years old
Standing on [G]top with the [C]world be[G]low
[F]Me and my dad
Talk[C]ing man to man
Suitcase packed, he was moving out
[G]Said, It's [C]no one's fault,
but I had my [G]doubts
[F]And I have them still
Up on [C]Half Mile Hill

[Verse 2]
You can see [F]the ball fields
Watch the cars go 'round
the court[C]house
[G]See [Am]the sun go down
[G]Where the street lam[F]ps glow
On those checkerboard roads
Wishing [C]I could f[G]ly like a c[Am]ut-string kite
[G]kite
[F]Tapping on the floor of [G]heaven
[F]Is anybody listening[G]?

[Verse 3]
Half Mile [C]Hill, [G]sevent[C]een
Tailing the summer, Angie [G]and me
[C]Kicking [F]beer cans off the side
[C]One [G]last [C]time
She was wildcat tough, I was scarecrow thin
[G]We were thick as[C][G]
theives 'til the [C]bitter [F]end
Trying to make time stand still
Up on [C]Half Mile Hill

[Verse 4]
You can see [F]the ball fields
Watch the cars go 'round
the court[C]house
See [Am]the sun [C]go down
[G]Where the street lam[F]ps glow
On those checkerboard roads
Wishing [C]I could f[G]ly like a c[Am]ut-string kite
[G]kite
[F]Tapping on the floor of heav[G]en[F]
Is anybody listen[G]ing?

[Verse 5]
Hey all, you [F]lovers and leavers
Stuck in-betweeners
[G]Loners and stoners
Old drunks and dreamers
[F]Rumbling and stumbling
Always looking for something
[G]Past that no trespassing sign

[Verse 6]
You can see [F]the ball fields
Watch the cars go 'round
the court[C]house
[G]See [Am]the sun go down
[G]Where the Street lam[F]ps glow
On those checkerboard roads
Wishing [C]I could f[G]ly like a c[Am]ut-string kite
[G]kite
[F]Tapping on the floor of [G]heaven
[F]Tapping on the floor of heaven[G]

[Verse 7]
[F]Is anybody lis[G]tening?
(Is anybody listening?)
Up on Half [F]Mile [G]Hill
[F]Is anybody listening?

[Outro 1]
(Is anybody listening?)
