Note2: Use Thumb for Fsus2
For the C6 on the bridge, I play a G6/11 (as shown on my tab) but the app wouldn't
accept the chord
(Either one will work.)
For beginniers, don't let the weird chord names confuse you, they are actually
easier than the standard chords beacuse you are only changing a few strings.

Fsus2
 
[Verse 1]
C Gadd11
Was it the voice I've known
Am7 Fsus2
or your Appaloosa bones
C Gadd11 Fsus2
that carried me home across the plains
C Gadd11
It's like you say all the time
Bbsus2 Fsus2
the world has lost it's mind
C Gadd11 Fsus2
Between you and I know that I've lost mine.
 
[Chorus]
E7 Am
Was I that gone
Fsus2 C
Man I hope not
E7 Am
Glad you found me
Fsus2
/ / / when you

[Verse 2]
C Gadd11
Well there ain't no words
Am7 Fsus2
just Pennsylvania birds
C Gadd11 Fsus2
I heard they're nesting on the city
C Gadd11
And the tv's on
Bb Fsus2
from every window every window
C Gadd11 Fsus2
Evenings fall and flicker thru the gloom
 
[Chorus]
E7 Am
Was I that gone
Fsus2 C
Man I hope not
E7 Am
Glad you found me
Fsus2
/ / / when you

[Verse 3]
C Gadd11
We've got a windowsill
Am7 Fsus2
but they haven't made no pill
C Gadd11 Fsus2
to get us 'cross the wintertime
C Gadd11
Tell the time by the walls
Bbsus2 Fsus2
watch the shadows fall
C
in the pages slow
Gadd11 Fsus2
in the room I called your name
C
in the pages slow
Gadd11 Fsus2
in the room I called your name
