Cody Johnson - Jesse's Name: chords

      D                 D/F#       G
In a tattoo shop at the end of Main
D              D/F#       G
Two lovers set out with no restraint
Em                                A
He swore she was the one from day one
Em                         A
She swore he made her complete
      D                 D/F#       G
In a tattoo shop at the end of Main
 Em                   A              D
Above his heart they carved Jesse's name

The years flew by so fast underneath their feet
Bills to pay just tryin' to make ends meet
A buddy asked him why he chose the road that
he was on
Asked him how he kept form goin' insane
And in a little bar at the end of Main
He pulled off his shirt and he showed 'em
Jesse's name

      C
'Til late one night came a phone call
                 G
That said, "You gotta come home from work
            Em             A              D
'Cause the baby says it's time for me to go
        C                          G
And I know it's a little early and I thought
I could wait
     Em            A
But baby I can't stand the pain"

And in a hospital room at the corner of 5th
and Main
They gave their little miracle Jesse's name

Seventy years, gray haired and still in love
Holding' hands like they were still 18
They both knew Jesse's time was growin' short
Somehow they both chose not to believe
And in a hospital room at the corner of 5th and Main
Oh he cried the last time Jesse said his name

And in a field lined with daisies
They laid her in the ground
As their daughter held the man that they both loved
And as the preacher said his words
And the choir began to sing
Oh he felt the pain
Underneath Jesse's name
Underneath Jesse's name

In a tattoo shop at the end of Main
He remembers the day they carved Jesse's name
