Sad Songs and Waltzes

            A                          A7
Well, I'm a-writing a song about you
  D                       A
A true song as real as my tears
           D
But you've no need to fear it,
       A           D 
'cause no one will hear it,
       A                            E            A
'cause sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year

I'll tell all about how you cheated
I'd like all the world to hear
I'd like to get even
With you 'cause you're leavin'
But sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year

  
  






      

                    
Heartland

            
      
          

  
  



There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland,

And the bankers are takin' my home and my land from me.

There's a big achin' hole in my chest now where my heart was,

And a hole in the sky where God used to be.


There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland,
There's a well with water so bitter nobody can drink.
Ain't no way to get high and my mouth is so dry that I can't speak.
Don't they know that I'm dyin', why nobody cryin' for me? 



My American dream
Fell apart at the seams.
You tell me what it means,

  
  





      

                    
Why Do I Have To Choose?

            
      
          

  
  


C   F   C    F    C

                 C      F    C
Why do I have to choose
       F         C      F    C
and see everybody lose?
                         G
Walk around and sing the blues,
                   C
Well, darling, I refuse.

Love is hard to find
Love of any kind
And love like yours and mine
Creates its own design.

Why do I have to choose
and see everybody lose?
Walk around and sing the blues,
Oh, darling, I refuse.

When I think of her,
then I think of you,
The love is not the same,
but either love is true.

Why do I have to choose
see everybody lose
