Hey Jack it's me,

      F                           C                  G        
I don't mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind.

       Am                    F                          C
At the end of this road that climbs the horizon will be reached in a matter 

       G
of miles.

             Am                       F                              C
And when the wheels cease to spin the walls and the fences will grow higher 

               G             
than redwood trees.

      A 
And I know your demise.

       F                              C                          G 
And I fear what will happen when the road fails to flow under me.

              Am 
To flow under me
(repeat intro) Am F C G
Am                  F                              C
 Oh Jack you see, I felt like your mirror with the wind whipping through my 

G
hair.

         Am                          F                              C
When the wheels ceased to spin and I cased my surroundings, I realized I 

                 G
hadn't gone anywhere.

         Am                     F                        C   
When the problems I'd left with couches in alleys, where no one would ever 

    G
claim.

        Am                F                                C     
And the hardest part was sifting through the pieces of the rain soaked and 

              G            Am   
rotten remains when I got home.
Am F C G
Am
Hey Jack its me 

    F                         C                      G
I dont mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind (x3)
Am F C G end on Em
