Good Night Amelia

G                   D
I was wasting the afternoon
F             C
Waiting on a plane
G             D
I woke up in pieces and Amelia
    F              C
Had disappeared again
G                  D
I wish you were next to me
F                   C
I hope that you're okay
G                    D
I hope you're resting quietly
F                 C
I just wanted to say
G         D
Good, goodnight Amelia
F                     C
Goodnight Amelia, goodnight
(repeat)

We couldn't stay married So one of us had to go
And like a dancer on the Midway I roam from town to town
I hope that everybody can find a little flame                                 
Me, I say my prayers, then I just light myself on fire
And I walk out on the wire once again
And I say


Good, goodnight Amelia
Goodnight Amelia, goodnightX2





I guess its chrismas coming down I don't wanna go back home
if can't be with you and samI'd  rather be alone​

So screw this  christmas coming downIt's not christmas without you
Christmas away from you and sam Ain't Christmas anyway

I will wait for you in baton rouge Ill miss you down in new orleans
Ill think of you as I'm slipping by And Ill miss you when I'm in between
If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain
And if youre the queen of Kansas CityBaby I am the king of the rain
And I say

Good, goodnight Amelia
Goodnight Amelia, goodnight
Good, goodnight Amelia
The sky's the limit for you, yeah
Don't you fall down on me now Don't you fall down on me
Please don't fall down On me now Don't you fall down on me
'Cause I'm all alone And I ain't comin' home So we settle down, down, down into bone
I said I'm all alone And I ain't comin' home So we settle down, down, down into bone

I guess its christmas coming down I don't wanna go back home
if I can't be with you and sam I'd rather be a lone​

Solo: (Note: I'm not sure if the soloing guitar is actually capoed, but it
doesn't really matter. Notes posted here are again relative to the capo
so in actuality everything is up two frets)

Look Up

G             C                    F
Look up , Let your gaze rise.
G             C                    F
Look up, See with His eyes.

It's so dark when our eyes are closed.
We always lose our way.
We get lost gazing at ourselves
and forget our faith.

G             C                    F
Look up , Let your gaze rise.
G             C                    F
Look up, See with His eyes.

G                      D                            F  
When we can't see we think we're alone.
G                D           Cm
Even with angels there.
G                      D                               F
Looking down we keep stepping on toes.
G                     D           C
People don't think we care.

G             C                    F
Look up , Let your gaze rise.
G             C                    F
Look up, See with His eyes.

See all the beautiful souls,
headed to eternity.
See all the God breathed miracles,
yearning to be free.

G             C                    F
Look up , Let your gaze rise.
G             C                    F
Look up, See with His eyes.
