David Allan Coe — Just in Time (to Watch Love Die)
Theres a stack of daily papers on her doorstep
GA
And the grass has grown up more than she'd allow
D
Yes, it seems to me to be a little more like a vacation
GAD
Never knew that I'd miss her until now.
Chorus:
GAD
From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
GAD
Guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
GAD
Looks like Im the one that got caught in the middle
G
Burnt my finger
DCD
I got there Just In Time To Watch Love Die
CDD
Yes, I got there Just In Time To Watch Love Die.
D
There's a change of address blank inside the mailbox
GA
And the key shed usually leave for me not here
D
Yes, its plain to see that she no longer wants an explanation
GAD
Guess I should have known I would not find her here
Chorus2:
GAD
From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
GAD
I Guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
GAD
Looks like Im the one that got caught in the middle
G
Burnt my finger
DCD
I got there Just In Time To Watch Love Die
CDD
But I got there much to late to say goodbye.
