Chords and lyrics for That Western Skyline by Dawes (key of G, capo 3).
Intro
[C] [Em] [G] [C] [C#dim] [G] [Gsus] [G]
Verse 1
[G]Oh, Lou, I'd like to let you know that [C#m7b5]I do not feel [C]welcome.
[G]All the birds, the trees, the falling [C#m7b5]snow, no they were [C]not made for [G]me.
[G]And all this is where her heart [C#m7b5]resides; we [C]met in [G]California.
[G]She saw cities, promise reaching [C#m7b5]through my eyes, and [C]she turned herself [G]away.
Chorus
[C]Well how I curse that western [G]skyline, and yet I thanked it for my [C]start.
[C]Oh Lou, though my dreams did not [Em]come [G]true; no they only came [C]apart.
Verse 2
[G]So I followed her here to [C#m7b5]Birmingham, where the [C]soil is so much [G]richer.
[G]And though my aching pride might [C#m7b5]guide my hand, she did [C]not ask for me to [G]come.
[G]So I wait for her all through the [C#m7b5]day, as if I wait for her [C]surrender.
[G]And every time I get her to [C#m7b5]look my way, she says [C]I'm not where I [G]belong.
Chorus
[C]But I watch her father preach on [G]Sundays, I know the hymnals all by [C]heart.
[C]But oh, Lou, no my dreams did [Em]not come [G]true; no they only came [C]apart.
Interlude
[Bm] [G] [D] [G] [C]
[Bm] [G] [D] [G] [D]
Verse 3
[G]All the snow fall this time of [C#m7b5]year, it's not what Birmingham is [C]used [G]to.
[G]I get the feeling that I brought it [C#m7b5]here, and now I'm taking it [C]away.
Chorus
[C]But let's share one more drink [G]together, before I go reload my [C]car.
[C]Oh, Lou, no my dreams did not [Em]come [G]true; no they only came [C]apart.
