The Blue Distance (Lyric Video) - Mary Chapin Carpenter - Mary Chapin Carpenter Chords

[Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _
[Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [C] Across the [F] railroad tracks, [Bb] down the [F] gravel road,
old [C] lights [Dm] throw in [C]
[Bb] on the way back home.
[C] Lie [F] down, lie down, [Bb] listen [F] wide awake to [C] the trains [F] that roll,
[Bb] to the sound time makes.
[C] It passes through [F] the air [Bb] like a summer [F] storm,
[C] catching on my [Dm] sleeve [C]
[Bb] like a rose's thorn.
[C] Sometimes [F] it whispers, [Bb] sometimes [F] it roars,
[C] flies [F] like the wind, [Bb] waits by the door.
And I know [F] you know, [Dm] and that's all [F] I need,
when [Bb] the [F] light of day looks [Am] like night to me.
When [Bb] you're far [F] away [Dm] and I'm [F] all alone,
_ [Bb] [F] can't explain, [C] I know [F] you know.
[Bb] It [F] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[C] fills up [F] my chest, [Bb] it fills up [F] my eyes,
[C] like an old [Dm] glass jar [C] filled [Bb] with fireflies. _
[C] Sometimes [F] I'm still, [Bb] sometimes [F] I sigh,
[C] sometimes [F] I'm lost [Bb] and I don't know why.
But I [F] know you know, and [Dm] that's [F] all I need,
[Bb] when the light [F] of day looks [Am] like night to me.
When [Bb] you're far [F] away [Dm] and I'm [F] all alone,
[Bb] can't [F] explain, [C] I know [F] you know.
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _
[F] _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] In the morning [F] light, before [Bb] the heat [F] sets in,
[C] call the [Dm] dogs to run [F] where the [Bb] shade has been.
[C] Across the [F] railroad tracks, [C] lay [Bb] your [F] silver down,
[C] find it [F] smooth and flat, [Bb] stars call your crown.
[C] In the blue [F] distance, where [Bb] our [F] lives unfurl,
the [C] edges [Dm] of the sky, [C] the [Bb] beauty of the world.
I [F] know you know, and [Dm] that's [F] all I need,
[Bb] when the [F] light of day looks [Am] like night to me.
When [Bb] we're [F] far away [Dm] and we're [C] all [F] alone,
_ [Bb] [F] can't explain, [C] I [F] know you know.
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
[C] _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
