This is a beautiful song, I can't find it anywhere
on the internet, so I had to do my best to transcribe at
least the chords. -Dray
 
Capo 1
------
 
E5 E(no5) C#m7(add5) E/B |Chord Forms are at
The open road for traveler's souls |The Bottom. This is probably
F#m Bsus4 |Not the Way Josh Plays it
They once were lost |But I figured it out today
Emaj7 Asus4/2 |With the capo (it's really
But now they're gone |in "F" major). There's like
F#m Bsus4 E5 |five different ways to play
A long, long time ago |E, but if you follow, then
E5 E(no5) C#m7(add5) E5/B |the bass notes should
A neighbor's love So fit the mold |come out right. The ringing
F#m Bsus4 |pedal tones make it really
They once were young |pretty. - Dray
Emaj7 Asus4/2
But now they're old
F#m Bsus4 E5
It's not yet time to go
 
[Refrão] Gsus4/2 A E5
And it's the way that we will forgive ourselves
Gsus4/2 A E5
And it's the way that we will for no one else
Gsus4/2 A E5 Asus4/2
And it's the way that we will put pressure on our bones
G Asus4/2
That we never leave alone
E5
Amen
 
E5 E(no5) C#m7(add5) E/B
Maybe it's time to grab the past
F#m Bsus4 Emaj7 Asus4/2
And make it last all through the year
F#m Bsus4 E5
To keep our lives afloat
E5 E(no5) C#m7(add5) E/B
The system has changed from far to planes
F#m Bsus4
I once was wild
Emaj7 Asus4/2
But now I'm tame
F#m Bsus4 E5
I hate to fly alone
 
[Refrão]F#m A F#m
And lately it's a song
A B --> (solo maybe i'll include this in another post)
And so maybe I am wrong for now (if I ever figure it out)
