  G 	  	  	       C 	  
We're both the kind who can find peace of mind 
  G 	  	  	     C 	  
In the light of an old fireplace 
  G 	  	  	 C 	  	 D 
Wrapped in a blanket talking the night away 
  G 	  	  	     C 
Watching snow falling, the lone wolf is calling 
     G 	  	  	 C 
Out into the endless space 
  G                       C       D         G 
Cause there aren't many left like us these days 
  Em            G           C 
Down where the city lights burn 
  Em          G       D 
I know we'll never return 

  G                               C                      G 
Listen to the wind blow over the hills, the whispering pines 
  G                                C                 D 
Everything is free and all that we see is yours and mine 
  G                                C                     G 
Just you and me and this old log house is all that we need 
  G                   C      D         G 
That's why they call us the vanishing breed 
 
 
 
  G                         C 
Its good just knowing that our love is growing 
  G                      C 
And we're gonna find a place 
  G            C                 D 
In a life we built with our own hands 
  G                         C 
Like wild horses runnin out under the sun 
  G                    C 
We're gonna find some space 
  G                      C        D         G 
Cause there aren't many left like us these days 
  Em            G              C 
God's greatest gift to you and me 
  Em            G              D 
Is knowing how it feels to be free 
 
(CHORUS)
