Son Volt -- "Hearts and Minds"
From the record 'Honky Tonk'
Words and music by Jay Farrar

***Farrar plays this with capo on 1, as seen in the official video for the song.  
I think it sounds equally good and is much easier to play with capo on 3, so 
that's what I've done below.

But we [D] can?t go right [G] 
Always a [D] common thread [G] bet[C]ween us

[D] Circumstance [G] 
[D] Left to chance [G] 
That?s when the [D] romance [G] fires did [A] burn 
[G] Deal?s gone down so we wait around 
Waiting for two to [D] learn 

Making our [G] days [D] living this way [G] 
So much to [D] gain, [G] so [C] much to lose
