Buttons of your skin - Jo Carol Pierce
G Em
Rockin and rollin on my hometown dance floor
G Em
I didn’t know I was watching the door
C D
Till you blew in like a hurricane of my
G D Em
most insane dreams
C D
I knew it was you by the way that they
G D Em
Started coming true
C D G
And to this day, wish I could say what that means
B7 Em
That I thought I knew just what to do with you
Am F
To undo the buttons of your skin
B7 Em
And climb right in there with you
B7 Em
I didn’t know what I was getting into
Am F
I might have crawled right under my tombstone
B C
I might have missed you my friend
D B7 Em
Who would I be now without you then?
G Em
I remember you one stormy afternoon
G Em
Best western hotel room
C
You looked in the mirror
D G D
Said no one ever told me I was beautiful before
Em D
And I didn’t understand the circles you’d been
G D Em
Moving in
C D G
You were beautiful forever right then
B7 Em
And I thought I knew just what to do with you
Am F
To undo the buttons of your skin
B7 Em
And climb right in there with you
B7 Em
I didn’t know what I was getting into
Am F
I might have crawled right under my tombstone
B7 C
I might have missed you my friend
D B7 Em
You were beautiful forever right then
G Em
You said if we decided not to be together
G Em
In that moment we’d get suddenly older
C
And that’s what we did
D G Em
But in my dreams we get younger and younger
C
Don’t mind them wrinkles most days
D G B Em
I never got over your Best Western ways
C
No this ache remains
D G
It’s the thing that makes us stronger
B7 Em
And I never knew just what to do with you
Am F
What it came down to was I could not undo
B7 Em
The buttons of my skin and let you in
B7 Em
I thought I knew what I what I was getting into
Am
A fight for my life
F
I’d have to win
B7 C
While you fill my cup again and again
D B7 Em
My cup is still full of you my friend
G Em
It’s 4 in the morning and I just got off the phone
G Em
Your call as usual was hit and run
C Em
Just like this song
D
Like your patron saint
G F# Em
Who still comes and waits at my door
C
We didn’t know what to do
D
You said what we did
G F# Em
Was the absolute truth
C
And though we know a lot
D G
These angels they know more
B7 Em
And I never knew just what to do with you
Am F
So crazy without you that angel knew
B Em
That I’d do anything you told me to
Em
I didn’t know what I was getting into
Am F
You said you’d cross that threshold too
B7 C
A place where I can never lose you
D B Em
Angel we have been so true to
D B7
He was the gift by which
Em
I knew you
