Space City Chords & Lyrics - Drive-by Truckers

Tuning Down One Step (key of C)

Intro: [D] , [G] , [A] , [G] , [D]

[D]If I could have one wish right [G]now
[A]I'd be about as half as tough as I [G]pretend I [D]am
[D]Then I wouldn't care how empty this old [G]house feels
[A]I could take her things and take them far [G]away from [D]here

I could make sure no dirt ever got on her name
Cause looking at that stone wouldn't bring me so much pain
I could go into town wearing my finest clothes
I could turn these tears into blood and make it run ice cold

[G]Space City's [A]one hour up the [Bm]road from me [A]
[G] [A] [Bm]
One hour away fro[G]m as close to the moon as anybody down here is ever gonna be
[A] [Bm] [A]
And so[G]mewhere beyond that big white light is where my heart is gone
And somewhere she's [A]wondering what's taking [D]me so long

My hands are as good to me as they've ever been
And I ain't ashamed of anything my hands ever did
But sometimes the words I used were as hard as my fist
She had the strength of a man and the heart of a child I guess
