Intro: Am F C G (2x)
Am F C G
I'm packing up to sing my songs, all these towns blend into one,
Am F C G
I'm somewhere in Madrid.
Am F C G
I got here on crowded trains with old guitars and a famous name,
Am F C G Am F C G
Running like a kid, I'm running like a kid.
Am F C G
I carry 'round this old backpack full of CD's and Kerouac,
Am F C G
Living on the road.
Am F C G
I left my heart on the coast of Wales with the boy I met at The Last Hotel
Am F C G
But I had to let him go.
Am F C G
And that's when I was searching, I'm not searching anymore
Am F C G
And that's when I was learning about the things worth living for
Am F C G F G
Before I was open, before I knew I couldn't live a day
Am F C G
Without you
Am F C G
Without you
Am F C G
So I moved out west where the starlets play on the boulevards of West LA
Am F C G
And I tried to make a name.
Am F C G
But it never felt like home to me so I drove three days back to Tennessee
Am F C G
In a slow and steady rain.
Am F C G
And that's when I was searching, I'm not searching anymore
Am F C G
And that's when I was learning about the things worth living for
Am F C G F G
Before I was open, before I knew I couldn't live a day
Am F C G
Without you
Am F C G
Without you
Am F C G
Without you in the morning, to love me another day
Am F C G
Without you in the evening, when the colors start to fade
Am F C G
Without you on the plane ride to hold my hand and pray
Am F C G
Without you standing here when you could've walked away
Am F C G
And now I'm not searching, I'm not searching anymore
Am F C G
And now I'm still learning about the things worth living for
Am F C G F G
I am here, I am open, and now I know I couldn't live a day
Am F C G
Without you
Am F C G
Without you
Am F C G
I'm packing up to sing my songs, all these towns blend into one
