Intro:  G   C  Em  C 
 
D 
Saw my life this morning  
                           G 
Lying at the bottom of a drawer 
D 
All this stuff I'm saving  
 
Em          C                G 
God knows what this junk is for 
        Em         Am 
And whatever I believed in  
         D              G 
This is all I have to show 
          Em                  Am 
What the hell were all the reasons? 
       C 
For holding on for such dear life  
                   C 
Here's where I let go 
            G 
I'm not running  
          C 
I'm not hiding  
           G 
I'm not reaching  
            D                                   G 
I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open  
               C 
Gonna pull my soul in  
        Em   D/F#  G  
And I'm al - most home   - Repeat Intro 
 
 
D 
And I saw you this morning  
                          G 
You were staring back at me 
D 
>From an ancient photograph 
 Em                  C               G 
Stuck between some letters and some keys 
           Em         Am 
And I was lost for a moment  
        D                G 
In the ache of old good-byes  
          Em               Am 
Sometimes all that we can know is  
                                                                               
                                                                               
                                                       C -   
There's no such thing as no regrets, and baby it's alright 
 
Chorus 
 
Solo -   Em  C  D  G  Em C   
                                                      C -  
There's no such thing as no regrets, and baby it's alright 
 
           G 
I'm not running  
          C 
I'm not hiding  
            G 
I'm not reaching  
            D                                   Em 
I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open  
               C 
Gonna pull my soul in  
        Em   D/F# 
And I'm al - most -  
           G 
I'm not running now  
          C 
I'm not hiding out 
            G 
I'm not reaching here  
            D                                   G 
I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open  
               C 
Gonna pull my soul in 
        Em   D/F#  G   C 
And I'm al - most home 
        Em   D/F#   G   C 
And I'm al - most home 
        Em    D/F#  G    
And I'm al - most home 
 
G  C  Em  C - fade out
