[Intro]
| Dsus2 D | Dsus4 D | A G | Em G |
[Verse 1]
Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Wheat like waves, Canadian plains A G Em G Were an ocean wide, flowing to the sky Dsus2 D Dsus4 D With Prefab Sprout echoing out A G Em G Of your 90's accord with the mismatched doors Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Away from the wives for just a few days A G Em G Traveling 'cross the divide my delusions ablaze Dsus2 D Dsus4 D But a homesteader's life at 45 A G Em G Was just a fleeting dream, there's no way I'd survive
[Bridge]
G Dsus2 D Dsus4 D The winters in Saskatchewan are so cold
[Instrumental]
| A G | Em G |
[Verse 2]
Dsus2 D Dsus4 D You talked of your kid how frightened you'd been A G Em G When she almost died with tears in your eyes Dsus2 D Dsus4 D But I could not pretеnd to comprehend A G Em G The dеpths of that kind of love as a childless man Dsus2 D G D And there's so little time, so many miles to drive A G Em G Before the endless sleep eventually arrives Dsus2 D G D But I never would've thought that life was so long A G Em G That we'd be growing old with stories untold
[Chorus]
G A You were kindled by the dials on the dashboard G D/F# D Your tattoos like the stamps upon your passport G A Speeding like we thought we were escaping G D/F# D From everything we feared that we were breaking Em By trying to hold them in our hands
[Instrumental]
| Dsus2 D | Dsus4 D | A G | Em G |
| Dsus2 D | G D | A G | Em G |
[Chorus]
G A You were kindled by the dials on the dashboard G D/F# D Your tattoos like the stamps upon your passport G A Speeding like we thought we were escaping G D/F# D From everything we feared that we were breaking Em By trying to hold them in our hands
[Outro]
