Fsus4                   Bb
I don't want to hear a love song
      Gm		Eb     Bb
I got on this airplane just to fly
      F7
And I know there's life below

But all that it can show me
	 Bb
Is the prairie and the sky
Fsus4   				 Bb
And I don't want to hear a sad story
Gm	  Eb             Bb
Full of heartbreak and desire
         F7
The last time I felt like this
				               Bb
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire
    Gm      	   C7	    Eb        		          Bb
And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn
	     F7  	        Bb
I watched it burn, I watched it burn.
	        Eb 		     Bb
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
		F7		   Bb
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
	             Eb			  Bb
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
		     F7			    Bb
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
Fsus4                        Bb
Well you really got me this time
        Gm              Eb           Bb
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive.
               F7
I have come to listen for the sound

Of the trucks as they move down
              Bb
Out on ninety five
    Gm                    C7
And pretend that it's the ocean
Eb                     Bb                F7
coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
F7                      Bb
Baby do you know what I mean
		Eb 			 Bb
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
		F7		   Bb
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
	             Eb			       Bb
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
		     F7			   Bb
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
