[Intro]
 
G*    D*   E*   C*  x4
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
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.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             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.
 
 
[Break]
 
G*    D*   E*   C*  x2
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     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.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             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.
 
 
[Bridge 1]
 
        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
 
 
[Bridge 2]
 
           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.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             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.
