[D]
[G] I don't want to hear a love song
[Em]
I got on [C] this airplane [G] just to fly
[D] And I know there's life below me
But all that it can show me
[G] Is the prairie and the sky
[D] And I don't want to [G] hear a sad story
[Em] [C] Full of heartbreak [G] and desire
[D] Last time I felt like this
It was in [C] the wilderness
[B] And the camp [G] was on fire
[Em] And I stood [A] on that mountain
[C]
And then I [G] watched it burn
[D] I watched it burn
[G] I watched it burn
I [C] would want to hold [G] my boys on my favorite hand
I would hold [D] my life [G] in a saving grace
I [C] would wait in [G] Boulder to Birmingham
If [D] I thought I could see you
I could [G] see your face
[E]
Well you really [A] got me this time
And [F#m]
the hardest [D] part is [A] surviving
And [E] I've come to listen [E] for the sound
Of the trucks, [A] the stable, the high [C#m]
[A]-speed bus
And pretend that [B] it's the ocean
[C#] [D] Coming on to [A] wash me clean
To [E] wash me clean
Baby do you [A] know what I mean?
[D] Oh, and the boys [A] on my favorite hand
I would [E] hold my life in a [A] saving grace
I would [D] wait [A] in Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought [E] I could see you
I could see [A] your face
If I thought I [E] could see you
I could see [A] your face
If I thought I could see you
I could see [D] your face
