G                C                   G 
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham  
                 D                 G 
I would hold my life in his saving grace 
              C                          G 
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham  
                     D                        G       D 
If I thought I could see, if I could see your face 

verse 1:  
N.C.                      G          ~ Em 
I don't want to hear your love song  
               C                 G 
I got on this airplane just to fly  
      D 
And I know there's life below me 
                       C  
But all that you can show me  
     ~       ~       G   C G C 
Is a prairie and the sky  

N.C.                           G      ~ Em 
And I don't want to hear a sad story  
        C                 G 
Full of heartbreak and desire  
         D 
The last time I felt like this  
                   C  
I was in the wilderness 
        ~       ~       G   C G C 
And the canyon was on fire  

Pre-Chorus 
    Em                 A     D C 
And I stood on the mountain 
                              G 
In the night and I watched it burn  
             D     
I watched it burn 
             G 
I watched it burn 

                C                    G 
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham  
               D                  G 
I would hold my life in his saving grace 
              C                          G 
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham  
                     D                        G      D 
If I thought I could see, if I could see your face 
 
N.C.                    G          ~ 
Well, you really got me this time  
        Em                C             G 
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive 
               D 
I have come to listen for the sound  
                           C  
Of the trucks as they roll down  
       ~      ~   G   C G C 
Out on ninety-five__ 

Pre-Chorus 
     Em                  A      D C 
I pretend that it's the ocean  
                       G 
Coming down to wash me clean 
             D     
To wash me clean  
                         G 
Baby, do you know what I mean  

                C                    G 
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham  
               D                  G 
I would hold my life in his saving grace 
              C                          G 
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham  
                     D                        G     D 
If I thought I could see, if I could see your face
