C                       G
Some mornings I pray for evening,

D                 C
For the day to be done.

C                  G
Some summer days I hide away

D                    Em   D
And pray for rain to come.

C                      G
It turns out hell will not be found

D                C
Within the fires below,

C                     G
But in making do and muddling through

D                           Em
When you've nowhere else to go.

             Cadd9   G   D
But then I remem   - ber you,

        Cadd9              Em7              D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.

             Cadd9   G     D
And if you remem  -  bered me,

          Cadd9            Em7           D
You could save me from the way I tend to be.

     C              G
Some days I wake up dazed my dear,

      D                  C
And I don't know where I am.

          C              G
I've been running now so long I'm scared

        D             Em   D
I've forgotten how to stand.

  C              G
I stand alone in airport bars

    D                  C
And gather thoughts to think

        C             G
That if all I had was one long road

         D              Em
It could drive a man to drink.

             Cadd9   G   D
But then I remem   - ber you,

        Cadd9              Em7              D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.

             Cadd9   G     D
And if you remem  -  bered me,

          Cadd9            Em7           D
You could save me from the way I tend to be.

        Am          G/B      C       D              C/E         D/F#      G
Because I've said I love you so many times that the words kinda die in my mouth

      Am            G/B            C         D         C/E        D/F#        G
And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but somehow it never works out

Am        G/B         C         D              C/E           D/F#          G
You stood apart in my calloused heart, and you taught me and here's what I learned

     Am      G/B               C           D        C/E      D/F#        G
That love is about the all the changes you make and not just three small words

           Cadd9  Em7    D
And then I catch  my  -  self

Cadd9                Em7         D
   Catching your scent on someone else

     Cadd9    Em7    D
In a crowd  - ed      space

       Cadd9              Em7            D
And it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place.

             Cadd9   G   D
But then I remem   - ber you,

        Cadd9              Em7              D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.

             Cadd9   G     D
And if you remem  -  bered me,

          Cadd9            Em7           D
You could save me from the way I tend to be.
