Intro: D  D/F#  G  Asus  A 

D             D/F#             G 
I guess she caught that plane early this morning 
         Bm                 A               G 
'cause her I've-decided-to-stay call never came 
D               D/F#       G 
and right about now lord she's nearly back to Asheville 
Em                                  Asus  A 
I'm staring out at a south Georgia rain 
          G                       Asus  A 
wondering if I'll ever touch her again 


[Refrão]

               Bm          A 
If there were only miles between us 
        G 
I'd be there in a good day's drive 
         Bm          A 
but the last time I held her 
          G               Asus  A 
I saw the distance in her eyes 
          G                     A 
she once crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains 
    Bm         A          G 
and swore that she'd be mine 
D/F#   G                             Asus A           D  D/F#  G  Asus  A 
but she never brought her heart across the Carolina line 


She always said this place felt just like home 
but there were memories she never did unpack 
and even in my arms holding me close 
she never let go of the past 
or the one who kept calling her back 


Chorus: 
If there were only miles between us 
I'd be there in a good day's drive 
but the last time I held her 
I saw the distance in her eyes 
she must've missed those Blue Ridge Mountains 
or someone she left behind                       
'cause I never got her heart across the Carolina line 


Instrumental 


When she crossed the Blue Ridge mountains 
and left me here behind 
Lord knows she took my heart across that Carolina line
