  Intro:     C    G    Am    G    F                x 2


        C                              F
 This steering wheel's freezin', this road gets so lonesome
     G                       C
 And I was just thinking of you and back home
         Am                     Em        G
 I've forgotten my reasons for leavin'

      C                F
 The radio station is fading and cracked
        G                          C
 But I hear every song that makes me want you back
         Am                             Em         G
 Like a tune, I could whistle and with luck undo these years

         F            G
 Got my heart on the wire
            Am                          Em
 Let these broken white lines bring me back to your arms
            F                          G
 But it's still a long way, yeah it's such a long way


      C                      F
 The way you confuse me, I treasure the taste
     Dm                            G
 The way that you love with that smile on your face
        C                         F
 Curled up in your sweater, took your coffee cup
      Dm                  G
 You kiss me awake every time you wake up
            Am           G             F
 There's a piece of my heart that you own, and it may be broken
             C    G    Am    G    F
 Broken but home 
             C    G    Am    G    F
 Broken but home 


     C                    F
 A whisper of you in the cold midnight air
         G                  C
 And the arms of Orion are taking me there
         Am              Em                 G
 Got the windows rolled down, to keep me from sleep

      C                        F
 The salt on the road and the salt in my tears
           G                               C
 Keeps me longing for you, like I've been longing for years
           Am          Em        G
 When I'm gone, you go with me

         F            G
 Got my heart on the wire
            Am                          Em
 Let these broken white lines bring me back to your arms
            F                          G
 But it's still a long way, yeah it's such a long way


      C                      F
 The way you confuse me, I treasure the taste
     Dm                            G
 The way that you love with that smile on your face
        C                         F
 Curled up in your sweater, took your coffee cup
      Dm                  G
 You kiss me awake every time you wake up
            Am           G             F
 There's a piece of my heart that you own, and it may be broken
             C    G    Am    G    F
 Broken but home 
             C    G    Am    G    F
 Broken but home 


      C                      F
 The way you confuse me, I treasure the taste
     Dm                            G
 The way that you love with that smile on your face
        C                         F
 Curled up in your sweater, took your coffee cup
      Dm                  G
 You kiss me awake every time you wake up
            Am           G             F
 There's a piece of my heart that you own
            Am           G             F
 There's a piece of my heart that you own
            Am           G             F
 There's a piece of my heart that you own, and it may be broken
             C    G    Am    G    F
 Broken but home 
             C    G    Am    G    F
 Broken but home
