Intro: C
Verse 1:
[C]I wandered up to what I thought was your[C/B] door
I'd only been there a thousand time[Am]s before
I gave it my most polite rap and[G] wish
I held my heart loosely in my other[F] fist[G]
Verse 2:
[C]The dead of winter in north Ho[C/B]llywood
The struggling actress and her flash[Am] flood
The smell of perfume cash and[G] love
The sucker punch with a horseshoe in the[F] glove[G]
Chorus:
Sayin[C]' if I held you up would that be [C/B]enough?
If I gave you all that I was capabl[Am]e of
Would that be e[G]nough?
Would that be e[F]nough?[G]
Verse 3:
[C]A trailer park tycoon las[C/B]t June
A telegraph a flash and [Am]a boom
An autumn like there never[G] was
A why? And[F] because[G]
Chorus:
Hopin'[C] if I held you up would that b[C/B]e enough?
If I gave you all that I was capabl[Am]e of
Would that be e[G]nough?
Would that be e[F]nough?[G]
Outro:
[C]The front porch[C/B]
The long road[Am]
A train whistle[G]
There she goes[F]
