  			verse 1 
       Dm                              Bb              F 
I wish I could leave my skin behind in this old rented room 
      C                                 Bb 
Float my way cross the great divide and be buried in you 
Dm                              Bb           F 
I been looking far and wide for what I gotta prove 
C                            Bb 
And putting peaks in my rear view 
          Dm                           Bb                 F 
Well it's colder here than anyone told me the south could get 
      C                                Bb 
And I took to staying up real late and smoking cigarettes 
Dm                               Bb                F 
Cheap tobacco burns the way that bridge between us did 
C                                   Bb 
And I'm left looking at the glowing ends 


Chorus 
C          F         Bb 
  But am I too far gone 
C       F       Bb 
  To be running home 
          Gm  Dm    Am Bb 
Cause I'm longing tonight 
      F          C                  Dm    Am Bb F C Bb 
To be somewhere 'cross that great divide 


verse 2 
       Dm                                 Bb             F 
I wish I could take the hands of time and turn them in reverse 
    C                                 Bb 
I'd take back every long goodbye with venom in my words 
    Dm                            Bb               F 
The only way to be bein' found is getting lost, at first 
    C                              Bb 
But all I find are more bridges to burn 


Chorus 
C         F         Bb 
  So am I too far gone 
C       F       Bb 
  To be running home 
          Gm  Dm    Am Bb 
Cause I'm longing tonight 
      F          C                  Gm Bb 
To be somewhere 'cross that great divide

verse 3 
         Dm                           Bb              F 
Well the highway has a way of playin' tricks on tired eyes 
C                             Bb 
I swear that I see you ridin' shotgun late at night 
Dm                                    Bb              F 
Seems that you're the only thing that never leaves my mind 
C                            Bb 
The only thing worth getting right 


Chorus 
C         F         Bb 
  So am I too far gone 
C            F       Bb 
  'Cause I'm running home 
   Gm   Dm    Am Bb 
If only in my mind 
     F          C                  Dm   Am Bb F C Bb 
I am somewhere 'cross that great divide
