Intro:
Em C
Em C
G
From table manners to tunnel vision
C/G
To typical farewells
G
With the recklessness of men who believe in themselves
C/G
When the world was ours and we made sure it pathed beneath our wills
G
We were as …. as ancient as a soul of …… hills
Am C/G
We were certain we could take this town by storm
Am C/G D
The wonder of sound and light seeking a form
G C/G Am
But somewhere along the way the dots did not all connect
C/G
Potential became regret
G C/G Am C/G
But somewhere along the way the dreams and the circumstance continue their torture dance
D Em
Somewhere along the way
Em C
Em C
G
She was my lullaby, personified
C/G
My vision in the mist
G
But her contacts were all promoters and unscattered therapists
C/G
The 5 ams, the worried friends, the parting of her lips
I needed to witness someone wrestle with
G
What it means to just exist
Am C/G
How her only plan in life was getting lost
Am C/G D
How she took me to the edge and made me watch
G C/G Am
But somewhere along the way the running had lost its fun
C/G
It Happens to everyone
G C/G
somewhere along the way
Am C/G
Her trail became to obscure but now was a signature
D
She would talk about letting go
Am Em G
I guess I didn’t understand give it over to the current
C/G
That were there since time began
D Am
But a long drive from el Paso to the pacific ocean cliffs
Em G C/G
I finally felt connected to the continental drift
G C/G
Somewhere along the way I started to smile again
Am
I don’t remember when
G C/G
Somewhere along the way Things will work out just fine
Am
You will see its true this time
