[Intro] (Pluck E string on 5th fret, hammer on A string on 4th fret) (Normal groove, DDUDU x2 per chord, G - Em - Cmaj7 - D) [Verse 1] (Normal groove, DDUDU x2 per chord, final D is DDUDU x4)
                      G
I spent years in the dust

           Em
Kickin’ up my name

                Cmaj7
Chasin’ all the wrong stars

                 D
Never felt the same

              G
Every road I took

           Em
It turned back to dirt

               Cmaj7
The kind that clings to boots

                   D 
and a heart that hurts
[Chorus] (Normal groove, DDUDU x2 per chord, final D is DDUDU x4)
                        G
But I found you in the quiet

                    Em
Where the stillness stays

              Cmaj7
Like a front porch swing

                   D
at the end of the day

                G
Didn’t need no map

               Em
No compass to prove

                     Cmaj7
The only thing I was missin’

     D 
was you
[Verse 2] (Normal groove, DDUDU x2 per chord, final D is DDUDU x4)
                          G
There’s a lesson in the miles

               Em
Written on my face

                Cmaj7
Every broken promise

                  D
left a little trace

                   G
But your voice is soft

                Em
Like a Sunday hymn

                  Cmaj7
Taught me how to stop

                  D 
Let the good sink in
[Chorus] (Normal groove, DDUDU x2 per chord, final D is DDUDU x4)
                        G
But I found you in the quiet

                     Em
Where the stillness stays

              Cmaj7
Like a front porch swing

                   D
at the end of the day

                G
Didn’t need no map

               Em
No compass to prove

                    Cmaj7
The only thing I was missin’

     D 
was you
[Breakdown] (Slower tempo, one strong downstrum per chord)
                - G -
Time’s a cruel teacher

                 - Em -
And I’ve been the fool

                   - Cmaj7 -
But it led me to the moment

                   - D -
I was meant to find you

           - G -
A thousand wrong turns

           - Em -
I don’t regret

              - Cmaj7 -
They all led me here

                        - D -
And I ain’t lookin’ back yet
[Final chorus] (Back to full, regular strumming pattern)
                        G
But I found you in the quiet

                       Em
Where the stillness stays

             Cmaj7
Like a front porch swing

                   D
at the end of the day

               G
Didn’t need no map

               Em
No compass to prove

                     Cmaj7
The only thing I was missin’

     D 
was you
[Outro] (One hard strum, let ring till end of song)
   - G -
Was you
