[Intro]
D | D | D | D |
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7
I thought that all I needed was some freedom
Bm
To ride the range beneath these western skies
D
To lose myself in ever open country
A
To roam until the mountains start to rise
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7
I had a love at home without an equal
Bm
And I told them that I needed to be free
D
They said they'd never been a fan of fences
A
They told me to go see what I could see
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 Bm A
I've been lost without love for so long
Em Bm D A
Double crossed by my blood and some goddamn country song
[Verse 3]
Gmaj7
When all my thought was bent on the horizon
Bm
I never grasped how much I had to lose
D
I'm thinking back on all my bad decisions
A
I see now that I never had to choose
[Verse 4]
Gmaj7
Now tossing down another empty bottle
Bm
Stumbling beneath these western skies
D
This view from Angel's Landing must be lovely
A
I can't see through all these tears that fill my eyes
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 Bm A
I've been lost without love for so long
Em Bm D A
Double crossed by my blood and some goddamn country song
[Bridge]
Em Bm
These open expanses
D A
Seem desolate now
Em Bm
The band on my stetson
A
Like thorns on my brow
Em Bm
I'm haunted and harrowed
D A
By what could have been
Em Bm
I'm chilled to the marrow
A
There's ghosts on the wind
[Outro]
Gmaj7 Bm A
I've been lost without love for so long
Em Bm A
Double crossed by my blood and a song
