Intro:A 

verse 1 

A 
Rows after rows of passenger planes 
G                D 
Headed out again running all in vain 
A 
Motel blues, only bad news 
G                             D 
I'm never looking for ya, you find me all the same 

PreChorus 

C                      Em           D 
I lie awake at night, envisioning a trace from the past 
C                           Em             D 
This heavy heart of mine it never fails to bring me right back 



C 
Now I see us walking down Cedar Lane 
G                      D 
Slow in the sunshine, fast in the rain 
C 
Time moved so swiftly all of those days 
G                    D 
I still remember how you used to say 
C                                G         D 
"Something good will come out of this." 


verse 2 

A 
Coast after coast, cities and states 
G                            D 
My world's an empty map and nothing remains 
A 
The place we belonged has quietly gone 
G                              D 
While we were making plans, it drifted away 


PreChorus 

C                      Em           D 
I lie awake at night, envisioning a trace from the past 
C                           Em             D 
This heavy heart of mine it never fails to bring me right back 



C 
Now I see us walking down Cedar Lane 
G                      D 
Slow in the sunshine, fast in the rain 
C 
Time moved so swiftly all of those days 
G                    D 
I still remember how you used to say 
C                                G         D 
"Something good will come out of this." 
C                                G         D 
"Something good will come out of this."   

A, G, D
