[Verse 1]
    G
The boss man and the boys
            C             D                G
Down at the job have been lettin' me slide by
             Am
And this old hard hat that I'm wearin'
      D                              G
Can't hide the tears falling from my eyes

[Verse 2]
          G                Am
While I'm hanging steel in Dallas
C               D             G   G
  Forty floors above Park Avenue
        Am
From up here things look just like toys
      D                           G
And I realize how much I meant to you

[Verse 3]
G                        Am
Well I might move out to Denver
  C             D              G   G
A city that's already one mile high
  Am
I lie a lot about leaving
        D                               G
And the boys all know I'm not afraid to climb

[Verse 4]
G                         Am
So I'll just stay here in Dallas
C                D                G    G
  Chained to the place you set me free
      Am
Cause loving you is forever
    D                                     G
But having you is a thing that just can't be

[Chorus]
            C                        G
Your memory climbs high steel in the sky
             A7
These days I just don't care
             Am   D
If I live or die

[Verse 5]
  G
I just threw down a Winston
           C         D             G    D G
Watched it fall 'til it was out of sight
          Am
Then your memory hit me in the chest
      D                             G
And I wondered how it would feel to fly
