My days they are the highway kind, [D] they [F#m] only come to leave
[D] [F#m] But the leaving I don't mind, [D] it's the coming [F#m] that I crave
[E] Pull the [F#m] sun upon the ground
[E] [D] Stand to throw [F#m] a shadow
[E] Watch it [F#m] grow into the night [A] and fill the [F#m] spinning sky

[E]
Sometimes [F#m] I believe me
[E]
[D] Sometimes I [A] don't hear
[E]
Sometimes [F#m] the shape I'm in

Won't let [F#m] me go
Now I don't know too much the truth
[D] My heart [F#m] knows how to pound
[D] My legs know [F#m] how to love [D] someone
My [F#m] voice knows how to sound
[E] It's a [F#m] shame that it's not enough.
