D (riff 1)
A ballerina in Phoenix
D (riff 2)
The pines up north
D (riff 1)
The sunrise from a highway
         G              D
That was not there before

D           G            D
If I can place it all together
D            G            D
Make out the nature of the call
D                     G            D
I start to feel the love and the silence
D                   G            D
That was always at the root of it all

Em/G                           D
And in my constant quest for truth
Em/G                     D
I am condemned to facts alone
G                     /F#      Em                    
And though my dreams all lead me nowhere
Em/G (G?)       A            D
I wont forget my way back home

From the corner of a coffee shop
Or from the center of a stage
From the words used in a love note
Or from an empty page

While I struggle with these beauties
And my renditions end up dry
Im like a bird that crashes into the window
That was drawn to the reflection of the sky

And the more I try to speak
The more I lose that earthly tone
And before heaven proves me hopeless
I wont forget my way back home

D          Am     G        D
Ooh Oooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh.....

G                           D
I admit that these answers that I seek
C                            D
Are all to questions Ive never known
G                        Em    G                     Em
But I pray to keep on looking for as long as I can roam
G                            Em
And when the world finally fulfills me
               A              D
I will not forget my way back home
