Intro: Em C G D 

Em 
Hey Jack it's me, 
      C                           G                  D         
I don't mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind. 
       Em                    C                          G 
At the end of this road that climbs the horizon will be reached in a matter  
       D 
of miles. 
             Em                       C                              G 
And when the wheels cease to spin the walls and the fences will grow higher  
               D              
than redwood trees. 
      E  
And I know your demise. 
       C                              G                          D  
And I fear what will happen when the road fails to flow under me. 
              Em  
To flow under me 

(repeat intro) Em C G D 

Em                  C                              G 
 Oh Jack you see, I felt like your mirror with the wind whipping through my  
D 
hair. 
         Em                          C                              G 
When the wheels ceased to spin and I cased my surroundings, I realized I  
                 D 
hadn't gone anywhere. 

         Em                     C                        G    
When the problems I'd left with couches in alleys, where no one would ever  
    D 
claim. 
        Em                C                                G      
And the hardest part was sifting through the pieces of the rain soaked and  
              D            Em    
rotten remains when I got home. 


Em C G D 

Em 
Hey Jack its me  
    C                         G                      D 
I dont mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind (x3) 

Em C G D
