Intro: C Am F G 


verse 1 
       C                   Am 
Up the street the dogs are barkin' 
    F              C 
The day is gettin' dark 
       C             Am 
As the night comes a fallin' 
    F               G  
The dogs lose their bark 
    C               Am 
The silent night is shattered 
       F                C 
By the sounds inside my mind 
    C            Am 
I'm one too many mornings  
      F        G     C 
And a thousand miles behind 


verse 2 
  C            Am 
I gaze from my doorstep 
   F             C 
My eyes start to fade 
C           Am 
Back to the room  
         F               G 
Where my love and I have laid 
  C                Am 
I gaze back to the sidewalk 
    F                 C 
The lamp post and the sign 
    C            Am 
I'm one too many mornings 
      F        G     C 
An' a thousand miles behind 


verse 3 
            C               Am 
It's just a restless hungry feeling 
     F                         C 
That just don't mean no one no good 
C               Am 
Every thing I'm feeling 
    F                 G 
Why I never thought I would 
     C                     Am 
And you're right from your side 
F                  C 
I'll be right from mine 
      C                 Am 
We're both one too many mornings 
      F        G     C 
An' a thousand miles behind 


verse 4 
       C                   Am  
Up the street the dogs are barkin' 
       F               C 
An' the day is gettin' light 
C            Am 
I just spent another 
F                      G 
Lonely lonely restless night 
C                      Am 
You're right from your side 
    F              C 
An' I'm right from mine 
     C            Am 
Both one too many mornings 
      F        G     C   Am  F  G 
An' a thousand miles behind
