VERSE ONE 

Em                    D 
My days, they are the highway kind 
 C           D       Em 
...they only come to leave 
 C         D              Em 
...but the leavin' I don't mind 
 C          D            Em 
...it's the comin' that I crave. 

D            Em 
Pour the sun upon the ground 
 D                  C   Em 
...stand to throw a sha-dow 
 D                 Em 
...watch it grow in-to a night 
    C         D      Em 
and fill the spinnin' sky. 


VERSE TWO 
Em             D 
Time among the pine trees 
 C           D         Em 
...felt like breath of air 
 C           D                Em 
...usually I just walk these streets 
 C      D         Em 
...tell myself to care. 

D           Em 
Sometimes I believe me 
 D             C     Em 
...sometimes I don't hear. 
 D               Em 
...Sometimes the shape I'm in 
C     D     Em 
won't let me go. 


VERSE THREE (Chorded as above) 

Well, I don't know too much for true 
but my heart knows how to pound 
my legs know how to love someone 
my voice knows how to sound. 
Shame that it's not enough 
shame that it is a shame. 
Follow the circle down 
where would you be? 

VERSE FOUR (Chorded As Above) 

You're the only one I want now 
I never heard your name. 
Let's hope we meet some day 
if we don't it's all the same. 
I'll meet the ones between us, 
and be thinkin' 'bout you 
and all the places I have seen 
and why you where not there....end
