Temporary Town Chords

[Intro]
G Em C G
 
[Verse 1]
G              Em               C       G
There's a tide turning in this temporary town
G                  D            C               G
Winds of change cut east blowing dust up off the ground
    G        Em       C        G
I’m all burnt out on heartland skies
      G                   D          C              G
And dreams of swinging on our porch ganderin' ridge lines
 
[Verse 2]
G              Em            C           G
There's a mighty mountain of bills on the floor
G              D               C       G
If it builds up any higher they’ll be bursting through the door
    G           Em           C            G
Tear down these walls let me shiver in the wind
G                     D               C         G
I'll take it as a sign well-timed and consider it God-sent
 
[Chorus]
         Em       D        C              G
I could take your hand and leap across the border
 Em          D            C                  G
Give a little gas and ride off towards higher ground
 Bm             D               C             Em
Make a piecе of heaven near somе old forgotten town
             G        D               C            G
And let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around
         G        D              C            G
Let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around
 
 
[Verse 3]
       G        Em           C           G
I can picture it now a white house in a clearing
G                  D                      C         G
Humming a bluebird song til the days we're hard of hearing
    G        Em          C           G
Ancient blue ridges just like big old fences
G                  D            C             G
Shelter from the world keeping senseless at a distance
 
 
[Chorus]
         Em       D        C              G
I could take your hand and leap across the border
 Em          D            C                  G
Give a little gas and ride off towards higher ground
 Bm             D               C             Em
Make a piecе of heaven near somе old forgotten town
             G        D               C            G
And let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around
         G        D              C            G
Let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around
 
 
[Chorus]
         Em       D        C              G
I could take your hand and leap across the border
 Em          D            C                  G
Give a little gas and ride off towards higher ground
 Bm             D               C             Em
Make a piecе of heaven near somе old forgotten town
             G        D               C            G
And let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around
         G        D              C            G
Let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around
         G        D              C            G
Let the world pass by ’til there's no turning around
