Snowy night, [D#m] I'm heading home, [B] an airport [D#m] bomb, there [C#] you sat all [F#] alone.
I said, hello, [D#m] how you been?
[B] God girl, [F#] [C#] it's sure good to see you [F#] again.
Remember, [D#m] our Panama City, [B] you were balling out drunk,
but [C#] you still were looking pretty.
[F#] We made love all night on [D#m] the beach that September.
[B] Told my friends it was great, but [C#] you still can't remember [F#] well.
Fabric sand, [C#] this is now.
[D#m] Looking back, I [B] would change it anyhow.
[F#] This is now, [C#] fabric sand.
[B] Life rolls on, we're still riding against the [F#] wind.
[C#] [D#m]
[B] Ask [F#] me, my life's [D#m] been up and down, [B] playing night to night,
[C#] moving town to town.
You [F#] say you had a daughter, I got her to my own.
[B] Death and love of my life, [C#] they sure helped me grow up.
[F#] I seen a few things, played [D#m] for the troops in Iraq.
[B] I made a few friends [G#] that didn't make it back.
[F#] Yeah, I danced with the devil [D#m] and cried with the saints.
[B] I put it in words [C#] so it isn't all in [F#] vain.
Fabric sand, [C#] this is now.
[D#m] Looking back, I [B] would change it [F#] anyhow.
This is now, [C#] fabric sand.
[B] Life rolls on, we're still riding against the [F#] wind.

[B] [F#]
[G#] [C#] [B]
[F#] Some days I'm smiling, [C#] some days I'm sad.
[F#] Some days I still wake up fighting mad.
Yeah, there's a part of [C#] me that wants to go back.
[F#] Then I remember, I'm good right where I'm at.
It's getting late, baby, [C#] so let's raise a glass.
[F#] Wonder the future and wonder the past.
Those photographs, [C#] pictures of [F#] the friends we lost.
And here's to the walls of love.
Fabric sand, [C#] this is now.
[D#m] Looking back, I [B] would change it anyhow.
[F#]
This is now, [C#] fabric sand.
[F#] Life rolls on, we're still riding against the wind.
It's alright, [C#] it's okay.
[B]
Yesterday's gone, [F#] I'm living for today.
It's [C#] okay, it's alright.
[B]
We [G#] all made it through [F#] the night.
Life rolls [C#] on, baby, [D#] and it's rolling.
[B] We're still riding against [F#] the wind.
It's alright, [C#] it's [D#m] okay.
I [B] wouldn't change it anyway.
