[Intro ]- E - Esus4 = 4x's
E Esus4 E
I'm on a white line runnin' down the interstate
C#m
Tryin' to wipe away the rain that's runnin' down my face
F#m
Going any old where, any old place
A B
Just some place else
C#m G#m
By now you know that I'm not there
A
And if you don't know why
C#m
Well can't you see
G#m A B
The tears it took for me to say good-bye
(Chorus)
E E/G#
Yeah I left a few on your old sweater
A E/G#
I watched them fall over lovesick letters
F#m
And I cried a river
E/G#
Cried a mile wide one
A B
I even cried some crocodile ones
E E/G#
From out here you can't hear me callin'
A E/G#
You won't see me when I start crawlin'
F#m
Cause this time
E/G# A
Baby, the next time that I do
B E - Esus4 - E - Esus4
I'll be a far cry from you
E
In a moment of truth, it's a matter of fact
C#m
There's only one way to go, and it ain't goin' back
F#m
So I ain't stopped since I stopped for gas
A B C#m
A hundred miles ago, right now I'm caught
G#m A
Somewhere between gone and gone for good
C#m
And these tears will dry
G#m A B
But there've been times I wondered if they would
(Chorus)
E E/G#
Yeah I left a few on your old sweater
A E/G#
I watched them fall over lovesick letters
F#m
And I cried a river
E/G#
Cried a mile wide one
A B
I even cried some crocodile ones
E E/G#
From out here you can't hear me callin'
A E/G#
You won't see me when I start crawlin'
F#m
Cause this time
E/G# A
Baby, the next time that I do
B
I'll be a far cry from you
(lead - A - E/G# - F#m - B

Yea From out here you can't hear me callin'
