     C                   G
Some mornings I pray for evening,

        D         Cmaj7
For the day to be done.

     C             G
Some summer days I hide away

    D                Em
And wait for rain to come.

   C                   G 
It turns out hell will not be found

    D                   Cmaj7
Within the fires below,

       C             G
But in making do and muddling through

            D                    Em
When you've nowhere else to go.

             C  G   D
But then I remember you,

        C                  G                D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.

             C  G     D
And if you remembered me,

          C                G             D
You could save me from the way I tend to be.

     C              G
Some days I wake up dazed my dear,

      D                  Cmaj7
And I don't know where I am.

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

        D             Em
I've forgotten how to stand.

  C              G
I stand alone in airport bars 

    D                  Cmaj7
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.

             C  G   D
But then I remember you,

        C                  G                D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.

             C  G     D
And if you remembered me,

          C                G             D
You could save me from the way I tend to be.

         Am         G        C       D              Em7         D/F#      G
Because I've said I love you so many times that the words kinda die in my mouth.

      Am            G              C         D         Em7        D/F#        G
And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but somehow it never works out.

Am         G       C            D              Em7           D/F#          G
You stood apart in my calloused heart, and you taught me and here's what I learned:

      Am      G        C           D        Em7      D/F#        G
That love is about the changes you make and not just three small words.

           C     G    D
And then I catch my - self

C             G                D
Catching your scent on someone else

     C   G   D
In a crowded space

       C                  G              D
And it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place.

             C  G   D
But then I remember you,

        C                  G                D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.

             C  G     D
And if you remembered me,

          C                G             D
You could save me from the way I tend to be, the way I tend to be

G    D    C
            The way I tend to be

G    D    C
            The way I tend to be
