Chorus: F C And the sky is black and still now F G On the hill where the angels sing F C Aint it funny how an old broken bottle C G C Looks just like a diamond ring F G C But its far, far from me C F Well I leaned on my left leg G In the parking lot dirt F G C And cathy was closing the lights F C A june bug flew from the warmth he once knew D G And I wished for once I werent right F C Why we used to laugh together F G And wed dance to any old song. C F Well ya know she still laughs with me G C But she waits just a second to long. (Repeat chorus) C F Well I started the engine G And I gave it some gas F G C And cathy was closing her purse F C Well we hadnt gone far in my beat old car D G And I was prepared for the worst. F C Will you still see me tomorrow? F G No I got too much to do. C F Well a question aint really a question G C If you know the answer too. (Repeat Chorus)
