A                              Am 
Down the street the dogs are barkin' 
         G                 A 
And the day is a-gettin' dark 
As the night comes in a-fallin' 
      D                   E 
The dogs will lose their bark 
          A  
And the silent night will shatter 
           G                A 
From the sounds inside my mind 
As I'm one too many mornings 
                       D 
And a thousand miles behind 
 A 
From the crossroads of my doorstep 
    G              A 
My eyes start to fade 
As I turn my head back to the room 
D                         E 
Where my love and I have laid 
    A 
I gaze back to the street 
          G               A 
To the sidewalk and the sign 
And I'm one too many mornings 
                       D 
And a thousand miles behind 
A 
It's a restless hungry feelin' 
         G                   A 
And it does mean no one no good 
When everythin' I'm a-sayin' 
     D                   E 
You can say it just as good 
         A 
You're right from your side 
     G          A 
I'm right from mine 
A 
We're both just one too many mornings 
                        D 
And a thousand miles behind 
A 
We're both just one too many mornings 
                        D 
And a thousand miles behind
