Saving Grace-   Tom Petty
 E E E E| E E E/G E/G  (…hit on Hi-Hat stand) E E E E| E E E/G E/G

I’m passing sleeping cities;  fading by degrees.
Not believing all I see to be so. 
I’m flyin' over backyards;  country homes and ranches.
Watching life between the branches below. 


           A        Asus4                  A         Asus4
And it’s hard to say;   Who you are these days.
         A                            Asus4                E    
But you run on anyway;    Don’t you baby? 
                 G                     D            Dsus4-D-Dsus2                    
You keep runnin’ for another place;   To find that saving grace. 
 

E 
I’m moving on alone; over ground that no one owns.
Past statues that atone for my sins.  
There’s a guard on every door; and a drink on every floor.
Over flowin’ with a thousand amens.  

 ... Don’t you baby?    Oh!

E  Bb  A  G      E  Bb  A  G      E  Bb  A  G     A
E  Bb  A  G      E  Bb  A  G      E  Bb  A  G     A        B

           E 
You’re rollin’ up the carpet; of your fathers two-room mansion. 
No headroom for expansion no more.  
And there’s a corner of the floor; They’re telling you is yours.
You’re confident but not really sure.  
 ... Don’t you baby?


                G                            D                                  E    E
You keep runnin’ for another place, to find that saving grace.
Asus4               E    
Don’t you baby?          E Bb A G    E Bb A G    E Bb A G   E.......
