[Bb]
[F] [Bb] I don't wanna hear a love song
I [Gm]
got on [Eb] this airplane just [Bb] to fly
And [F] I know there's [Dm] life [Eb] below [F] me
But all that you can show me
Is [Bb] the prairie and the sky
And [F] [Bb]
I don't wanna hear a sad story
[Gm] Full of [Eb] heartache [Bb] and desire
The [F] last time I felt like this
I was in the wilderness
[Bb] And the canyon was on fire
I laughed [Gm]
and I stood on the mountain
[C]
[Gm] [Eb] In the night I [Bb] watched it burn
I [F] watched it [Bb] burn
I watched it burn
I would wrap [Eb] my soul
In the [Bb] bosom of Abraham
I would hold [F] my life
In his [Bb] saving grace
I would walk [Eb] away
From [Bb] Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought [F] I could see
I could [Bb] see your face
[F] [G] Will you really [Bb] guide me this time?
[Gm] And the hardest part [Eb] is not [Bb] surviving
I've [F] come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down [Bb] the fire
And
[Gm] pretend that it's [C] the ocean
Coming [Eb]
down [Bb] to clean
To [E] wash [F] me clean
Baby, do you know [Bb] what I mean?
I would wrap [Eb] my soul
In the [Bb] bosom of Abraham
I would [F] hold my life
In his [Bb] saving grace
I would walk [Eb] away
From [Bb] Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I [F] could see
I could [Bb] see your face
If I thought I [F] could see
I could see [Bb] your face
[F] [Bb]
