Chords

[Intro] G C Em C [Verse]
D
Saw my life this morning

                           G
Lying at the bottom of a drawer

D
All this stuff I'm saving

Em          C                G
God knows what this junk is for

        Em         Am
And whatever I believed in

         D              G
This is all I have to show

          Em                  Am
What the hell were all the reasons?

       C
For holding on for such dear life

                   C
Here's where I let go
[Chorus]
            G
I'm not running

          C
I'm not hiding

           G
I'm not reaching

            D                                   G
I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

               C
Gonna pull my soul in

        Em   D/F#  G
And I'm al - most home  
[Bridge] G C Em C [Verse]
D
And I saw you this morning

                          G
You were staring back at me

D
>From an ancient photograph

 Em                  C               G
Stuck between some letters and some keys

           Em         Am
And I was lost for a moment

        D                G
In the ache of old good-byes

          Em               Am
Sometimes all that we can know is

                                                       C 
There's no such thing as no regrets, and baby it's alright
[Chorus]
            G
I'm not running

          C
I'm not hiding

           G
I'm not reaching

            D                                   G
I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

               C
Gonna pull my soul in

        Em   D/F#  G
And I'm al - most home  
[Solo] Em C D G Em C
                                                      C 
There's no such thing as no regrets, and baby it's alright
[Chorus]
           G
I'm not running

          C
I'm not hiding

            G
I'm not reaching

            D                                   Em
I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

               C
Gonna pull my soul in

        Em   D/F#
And I'm al - most -

           G
I'm not running now

          C
I'm not hiding out

            G
I'm not reaching here

            D                                   G
I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

               C
Gonna pull my soul in

        Em   D/F#  G   C
And I'm al - most home

        Em   D/F#   G   C
And I'm al - most home

        Em    D/F#  G
And I'm al - most home
G C Em C - fade out
