[Verso 1]
Fmaj7
Lake effect rolling in from the north
Am
I was wishing that I brought a coat to the porch
D Fmaj7 G
As the last of the smoke from my torch floated away
Fmaj7 Am
Fade to black and I'm back in the place where I grew
D
All the love, all the lack, all the strings coming loose
Fmaj7
All the ghosts that I knew come out to play
Am G Fmaj7
Like circling birds of prey
{Solo}
Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G
[Verso 2]
Fmaj7 Am
Overslept, underkept all my life in a pile
D
They reflect off the wall, stretching outward for miles
Fmaj7 G
And I smile as I fall back in a dream
Fmaj7 Am
You and I take a ride and it's all like it was before the light
D Fmaj7
All the night from the sky drops and a trust was as easy as learning to breathe
[Refrão]
Am G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
Nothing but the summer breeze on the highway in the dark
Am G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
Nothing but the whispering leaves the old town park
Am G Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7
Everything would ever be another thousand miles ahead
Am G Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7
Everything would ever mean didn't know it yet
G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G
Didn't know it yet
