[Verse 1]
Old [G]friend,
it's been a while
[D]And I ain't [A]spoke to you in [Bm]years
And of[G]tentimes, boys from [D]this town
Will pull [A]wheels down and disap[Bm]pear
Miss [G]Cole asked about you
just three [D]days back
[A]I had no answer to g[Bm]ive her
I [G]told her that you moved [D]way out west
To write some [A]songs
and grow a little more bitter
[Bm]Kids tal[G]k about you around[D] here
Like you're [A]some kind of [Bm]legend
I [G]wonder if they know
a thousand sun[D]rises ago
You were [A]eager just like [Bm]them
If you [G]ever decide to bring
your [D]pain and your pride
Back [A]to this side of Oklahoma
[Bm]City
There'll be a [G]porch light on
from the [D]coast you lean on
You [A]wound up on the wrong side [Bm]of pity
And of[G]tentimes I pray for you
And often[D]times I don't
Is it the [A]goodbyes that haunt you?
The [Bm]fear of new hellos
You [G]won't stay for long
Cause you [D]won't stop your running
[A]Wait for tomorrow
Till to[Bm]morrow's not coming
[G][D][A]
[Bm][G][D][A]
[Bm]
I heard you [G]landed in Tulsa
where [D]he slipped away
Is that the [A]reason you're fleeing
the [Bm]fields we hauled?
can you [G]heat this July
or the [D]dark last December?
[A]Look in my eyes and you
[Bm]might remember
[G]Weed out the norm in the [D]Stillwater Strip
[A]Run far enough, boy,
and [Bm]you're bound to trip
If you [G]ever decide to bring
your [D]pain and your pride
Back [A]to this side of Oklahoma [Bm]City
Be a [G]porch light on
from the [D]post you lean on
For you [A]wound up on the
wrong side [Bm]of pity
And [G]of tentimes I pray for you
and of[D]tentimes I don't
Is it the [A]goodbyes that haunt you?
A [Bm]few new hellos
You [G]won't stay for long
Cause you [D]won't stop your running
[A]Wait for tomorrow
Till to[Bm]morrow's not [G]coming[D][A][Bm]
[G][D][A]

[Bm][G][D][A]
[Bm]
If you [G]ever decide to bring
your [D]pain and your pride
Back [A]to this side of Oklahoma [Bm]City
Be a [G]porch light on
from the [D]post you leaned on
Before you [A]wound up on
the wrong side [Bm]of
And of[G]tentimes I pray for you
and of[D]tentimes I don't
Is it [A]the goodbyes that haunt you?
[Bm]Fear of new hellos
You [G]won't stay for long
Cause you [D]won't stop your running
[A]Wait for tomorrow
Till to[Bm]morrow's not coming
