D C G There's piles of lies, the love gone from her eyes, A D And old moving boxes full of hurt. C G D Pull up a chair by the trouble and care. C G A I got whiskey, you're welcome to some. D C G Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart, A D But I don't reckon you're gonna come. Intro: D C G A D D C G I've tried to fix up the place, I know it's a disgrace, A Bm You get used to it after a while. D C G With the flood and the drought and old pals hanging out A D With their IOU's nad their smiles. C G D Bare naked women keep coming in C G A And they dance like you wouldn't believe. D C G Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart, A D So take a good look - and then leave. Intro: D C G A D D C G Oh Lord, why does the Fall get colder each year? A Bm Lord, why can't I learn to love? D C G Lord, if you made me, it's easy to see A D That you all make mistakes up above. C G D But if I open the door, you will know I'm poor C G A And my secrets are all that I own. D C G Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart A D And I hope that you leave it alone.
