Verse 

D                                                  G 
I was dreaming of outpost towns halfway up thirty-four 
D                                                          G 
I was driving like someone else, like someone you loved before 
Bm            F#m                   G 
I took half a lifetime to sleep it off 
      Bm              F#m             G 
But I always wound up back where I began 
Bm         F#m                G 
I awoke to your ghost in the threshold 
     Bm        F#m        G 
So I ran and I ran and I ran 


     D                      Em     F#m       G 
And you were mine, we fell asleep above the timberline 
      D                      Em     F#m       G 
Just give it time, I’ve got another hopeless song to write 
     Bm                  G                    D 
When I finally get this right, it’s all yours

Bridge 

D                                       F#m  G 
Sometimes I think I just might call you 
                                  F#m  D 
So I can tell you how I’ve been 
                                  F#m  G 
Sometimes I picture you a siren 
G 
Smiling as you invite me in 
    Bm        F#m                G 
But I can’t remember where I’ve been 
    Bm        F#m               G 
And I can't remember where I'm going 
    Bm        F#m            G 
And I can't remember how it starts 
Bm            F#m                 G 
But the story ends with me still rowing 
Bm         F#m                 G 
The story ends with me still rowing

     D                      Em     F#m       G 
And you were mine, we fell asleep above the timberline 
      D                      Em     F#m       G 
Just give it time, I’ve got another hopeless song to write 
     Bm                  G                    D 
When I finally get this right, it’s all yours
