(verse 1) 
E5                   A5  
I don't want to hear a love song 
      G5            D5      A5  
I got on this airplane just to fly 
      E5 
And I know there's life below 
 
But all that it can show me 
       A5  
Is the prairie and the sky 
 
(verse 2) 
E5                            A5  
And I don't want to hear a sad story 
G5        D5              A5  
Full of heartbreak and desire 
         E5 
The last time I felt like this 
                                       A5  
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire 
    G5               C5          D5                              A5  
And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn 
           E5                A5  
I watched it burn, I watched it burn. 
 

              Eb5                  A5  
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham 
            E5               A5  
I would hold my life in his saving grace. 
                   D5                    A5  
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 
                 E5                      A5  
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.  
 
(verse 3) 
E5                        A5  
Well you really got me this time 
        F#5             D5            A5  
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive. 
               E5 
I have come to listen for the sound 
 
Of the trucks as they move down 
              A5  
Out on ninety five 
    F#5                   B5 
And pretend that it's the ocean 
D5                      A5                 E5 
coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean 
E5                      A5  
Baby do you know what I mean 
 
(chorus) 
            Eb5                    A5  
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham 
            E5               A5  
I would hold my life in his saving grace. 
                   D5                         A5  
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 
                 E5                     A5  
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
