Tom : G
G
The phone rings
C
And I don't care who it is that is calling
D7
You moved our things from ours to his
G
While outside the snow is falling
G7
The wedding band that meant so much
C
Signified our blessed vow
D7
Like coffee spills and unpaid bills and all my pills
G
It's in a dusty dresser drawer now
I watched these trees from green to brown
C
Suddenly this small town has gotten smaller
D7
The arctic breeze it sings to me, and says now look
G
Any fool can go out and walk on water
G7
I shoulda known that time alone
C
Would only serve to break you down
D7
Don't know why I sit and stare at that damn thing sitting there
G
In a dusty dresser drawer now
C
Snow has turned to water
To please the trees
G
And cheer up that late bloomer
D7
While I'm sipping on a beer counting down another year
G
Couldn't come a second sooner
C
I wonder how easily that ring it slid off of your finger
D7
Did you stop for a moment
G
Let the memory of us linger
G7
Or was it just an afterthought
C
Like casting water from a bow
D7
I'm past the point of crying
For a love that lies there dying
G
In a dusty dresser drawer now
D7
It's such a goddamn shame
Right next to your picture frame
G
In a dusty dresser drawer now
D7
If anybody asks me what I think, that love is for now, I'll tell them
G
Look in a dusty dresser drawer now
