(verse 1) 
Esus                   A  
I don't want to hear a love song 
      Gm            D      A  
I got on this airplane just to fly 
      E7 
And I know there's life below 
 
But all that it can show me 
       A  
Is the prairie and the sky 
 
(verse 2) 
Esus                            A  
And I don't want to hear a sad story 
Gm        D              A  
Full of heartbreak and desire 
         E7 
The last time I felt like this 
                                       A  
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire 
    Gm               C7          D                              A  
And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn 
           E7                A  
I watched it burn, I watched it burn. 
 

              Eb                  A  
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham 
            E7               A  
I would hold my life in his saving grace. 
                   D                    A  
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 
                 E7                      A  
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.  
 
(verse 3) 
Esus                        A  
Well you really got me this time 
        F#m             D            A  
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive. 
               E7 
I have come to listen for the sound 
 
Of the trucks as they move down 
              A  
Out on ninety five 
    F#m                   B7 
And pretend that it's the ocean 
D                      A                 E7 
coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean 
E7                      A  
Baby do you know what I mean 
 
(chorus) 
            Eb                    A  
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham 
            E7               A  
I would hold my life in his saving grace. 
                   D                         A  
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 
                 E7                     A  
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
