verse 1
Dm Bb F
I wish I could leave my skin behind in this old rented room
C Bb
Float my way cross the great divide and be buried in you
Dm Bb F
I been looking far and wide for what I gotta prove
C Bb
And putting peaks in my rear view
Dm Bb F
Well it's colder here than anyone told me the south could get
C Bb
And I took to staying up real late and smoking cigarettes
Dm Bb F
Cheap tobacco burns the way that bridge between us did
C Bb
And I'm left looking at the glowing ends
[Refrão]
Chorus
C F Bb
But am I too far gone
C F Bb
To be running home
Gm Dm Am Bb
Cause I'm longing tonight
F C Dm Am Bb F C Bb
To be somewhere 'cross that great divide
verse 2
Dm Bb F
I wish I could take the hands of time and turn them in reverse
C Bb
I'd take back every long goodbye with venom in my words
Dm Bb F
The only way to be bein' found is getting lost, at first
C Bb
But all I find are more bridges to burn
[Refrão]Chorus
C F Bb
So am I too far gone
C F Bb
To be running home
Gm Dm Am Bb
Cause I'm longing tonight
F C Gm Bb
To be somewhere 'cross that great divide

Well the highway has a way of playin' tricks on tired eyes

I swear that I see you ridin' shotgun late at night

Seems that you're the only thing that never leaves my mind
C Bb
The only thing worth getting right
[Refrão]

So am I too far gone

'Cause I'm running home

If only in my mind
