Asus2    C#m7    Bsus4     F#11

Well my mind's still limber but my heart's grown old
                E                                       Asus2                   E
From the time I left the only place I know
                C#m7                        Bsus4         E
And it makes me happy we didn't get let go
                E                                               Asus2                   E
I couldn't stand to see our love just decompose
                C#m7                        Bsus4         E

Now I've been walking home nearly every night
                        Asus2            E                 Bsus4
And here's to everyone I ever loved but had to leave behind
                      Asus2          E                           C#m7              Bsus4
For the one thing I can't find though I've been looking half my life
                      Asus2          E                           C#m7              Bsus4
And it's damn hard to explain but I will try it if you like
                      Asus2          E                           C#m7              Bsus4

If you ask me once I'll tell you so
                E                                       Asus2                   E
That the blue between us never felt so cold
                C#m7                        Bsus4        E

And I miss the folk singers from the days of old
When a three chord song could save your soul
And no I'm never on time least that's what I'm told
So why's everything feel like it moves too slow?
And if I were scared I wouldn't let it show
Cause if I die tonight I'm not going home

Why's it seem so wrong to miss the town you love?
                        Asus2            E                 Bsus4
When there's just one state that you cannot stop thinking of
                      Asus2          E                           C#m7              Bsus4
I wouldn't say I'm patriotic, but I think that's what I've become
                      Asus2          E                           C#m7              Bsus4
Sometimes it takes where you are not just to remember where you're from
                      Asus2         E                           C#m7              Bsus4

Was it my fault that I meant, every single word I said?
            Asus2                   E                   Asus2                   E
When it told you it was not the end
             Asus2                     E          Bsus4
And if everything goes wrong, I hope we can get along
            Asus2                      E                     Asus2                E
If I lost you I would lose my best friend
      Asus2                       E                     Bsus4

And now we're weathering the storm, side by side we're looking on
                           C#m7                                    F#11                  Asus2
It takes a certain kind of love to bear this load
                     E                       F#11            Asus2
But it's not the tired romance of the open road
                       C#m7                            Bsus4       E
