[Intro] G D Am7 C G D Am7 G D Am7 C G D Am7 C [Verse]
G             D           Am7          C
  Six hundred miles to go across New Mexico

G               D              Am7
 Might make the state line by dawn

G           D          Am7           C
 Cans and bottle tops piling up since our last stop

G             D               Am7
 You've been quiet all night long

D                              Am7
 Close your eyes and you start cursing at the rain

D                                Am7           C
 It's harder to leave sometimes than it is to stay
[Chorus]
              G             D          Am7      C
And you said, you've been driving since Santa Fe

   G           D         Am7     C
We smoked our last joint yesterday

   G        D      Am7       C
A thousand things I want to say

      Am7                           C     (G)
But a friend like you could be the end of me
[Instrumental] G D Am7 C G D Am7 C [Verse]
G                D
  You rolled the window down

Am7                      C
  Let the wind blow your hair around

G            D                 Am7
  Ran your fingers through the air

G                   D
  Stared into the orange sky

Am7               C
  Laid your hand over mine

G                D                Am7
  You said, I'm never going back there

D                               Am7
 Close your eyes and you start talking in your sleep

D                   Am7       C
 I know you've got secrets to keep
[Chorus]
G           D            Am7     C
You've been dreaming since Abilene

G         D                   Am7       C
  Why the hell do you have to be so sweet?

  G       D      Am7     C
I want to say a thousand things

      Am7                          C      (G)
But a friend like you could be the end of me
[Instrumental] G D Am7 C G D Am7 G D Am7 C G D Am7 C [Verse]
G                 D              Am7     C
  You said you've got a friend in Colorado Springs

G             D              Am7   C
  You could get back on your feet

G               D
  Rocky Mountain skies

Am7                              C
 Now I'm going to miss you the rest of my life

G        D            Am7
  Did we ever say goodbye?

D                           Am7
  Close my eyes and I start speeding away

D                              Am7            C
  It's harder to leave someone than it is to stay
[Chorus]
G          D            Am7   C
I've been driving since Santa Fe

   G        D           Am7   C
I smoked my last joint yesterday

  G        D        Am7      C
A thousand things I want to say

      G         D              Am7   C
Yeah, I've been dreaming since Abilene

G         D                  Am7      C
 Why the hell do you have to be so sweet

  G       D     Am7       C
I want to say a thousand things

      Am7                           C     (G)
But a friend like you could be the end of me
