Chords

[intro] Dm [verse]
Dm
I've been driving all night

Dm
On a road to nowhere

Dm
With the devils convoy, black smoke upon my tracks

Dm
Girl, I hardly knew you

Dm
But I could never fool you

Dm
You was always sitting still

Dm
While the world raced to its grave
[chorus]
Dm
When the morning breaks

Dm
I've been driving wide awake

Dm
Cause I've been running so long

Dm
Can't recall what it means to stay

                F              G                      Dm
Cause I let you slip away like water right through my hands

              F                     G                   Dm
Oh baby, your love's like rain in a desert to a thirsty man

Dm
Thirsty man
[verse]
Dm
You know I've seen the mountains

Dm
And the flatlands too

Dm
I've seen all these city streets

Dm
But I still go out searching for you

Dm
Now in the captain's chamber

Dm
There's a ball and chain

Dm
You can run for a million miles but you'll never outrun your name
[chorus]
Dm
When the morning breaks

Dm
I've been driving wide awake

Dm
Cause I've been running so long

Dm
I can't recall what it means to stay

Dm
And all the children sing

Dm
And all the old men sing

Dm
It's better to love and lose

Dm
Than to gain a world on a string

                F
Cause I let you slip away

     G                      Dm
Like water right through my hands

              F                     G                   Dm
Oh baby, your love's like rain in a desert to a thirsty man

Dm
Yeah, thirsty man
[solo] Dm [chorus]
Dm
When the morning breaks

Dm
I've been driving wide awake

Dm
Cause I've been running so long

Dm
Can't recall what it means to stay

                F              G                      Dm
Cause I let you slip away like water right through my hands

               F                     G                   Dm
Oh honey, your love's like rain in a desert to a thirsty man

Dm
Yeah, thirsty man
