Am                   C
I want to live where soul meets body
Am                       C
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
Am                         C
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
    G                              Am
And feel, feel what its like to be new

                           C
Cause in my head there?s a greyhound station
Am                          C
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
Am                           C
So they may have a chance of finding a place
              G
where they?re far more suited than here


Am   C            G
I do believe it?s true
               Am            C           G
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
       Am            C
If the silence takes you
       G
Then I hope it takes me too

   Am           C        G
So brown eyes I hold you near
                 Am          C       G
Cause you?re the only song I want to hear
       Am       C       G
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Am                  C
I cannot guess what we'll discover
Am                        C
We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
      Am                       C
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another?s
    G
And not one speck will remain

Am   C            G
I do believe it?s true
               Am            C           G
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
       Am            C
If the silence takes you
       G
Then I hope it takes me too
