  			verse 1 
G                      C 
Walking along a broken road, 
G                               C 
which side I'm on, it's hard to know. 
G             G/F#           Am 
Sometimes the wishes that we hold

don't hardly make a sound.

What I'd give to wake up slow, 
G                          C 
nothing to do, no place to go. 
G         G/F#                  Am 
You in my arms, the lights down low 
Em                C 
whispering, we're found.

what to build and what to burn.

When all he wants is to return

to some familiar ground.
