[Verse]
 
      C                    G               D         C(D0h2)
Some mornings I pray for evening; for the day to be done
      C             G            D                 Verse Riff 1
Some summer days I hide away and wait for rain to come
           C                  G                D               C(D0h2)
'Cause it turns out Hell will not be found within the fires below
        C             G                           D               Em  Verse Riff 2
But in making do and muddling through when you've nowhere else to go
 
[Chorus]
 
             C**  G**  D**           C**                      G/E           D**
But then I remem---ber  you, and the way you shine like truth in all you do
             C**  G**  D**            C**                  G/E          D**
And if you remem---bered me you could save me from the way I tend to be
The way I tend to be
 
Intro Riff x 2
 
[Verse]
 
     C               G                 D                 C(D0h2)
Some days I wake up dazed, my dear; I don't know where I am
           C               G                      D            Verse Riff 1
I've been running for so long I'm scared I've forgotten how to stand
       C              G                D                  C(D0h2)
And I stand alone in airport bars and gather thoughts to think
        C             G                       D             Em  Verse Riff 2
That if all I had was one long road it could drive a man to drink
 
[Chorus]
 
             C**  G**  D**           C**                      G/E           D**
But then I remem---ber  you, and the way you shine like truth in all you do
             C**  G**  D**            C**                  G/E          D**
And if you remem---bered me you could save me from the way I tend to be
 
[Bridge]
 
        Am          G/B       C        D              Em           Cadd9/F#  G(A0h2)
'Cause I've said 'I love you' so many times that the words kind of die in my mouth
       Am            G/B           C          D          Em         Cadd9/F#    G(A0h2)
And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but, somehow, it never works out
    Am         G/B     C             D             Em           Cadd9/F#       G(A0h2)
And you stood apart in my calloused heart and you taught me and here's what I learned
      Am      G/B           C           D       Em        Cadd9/F#   G
That love is about all the changes you make and not just three small words
 
           C**~ G**~ D**~ C**~           G/E~            D**~
And then I catch my---self catching your scent on someone else
     C**~ G**~ D**~          C**                G/E            D**
In a crow--ded  space and it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place
 
[Chorus]
 
             C    G   D11/A         C                  G/E              D11/A
But then I remem---ber you, and the way you shine like truth in all you do
             C    G   D11/A           C                G/E          D11/A
And if you remem---bered me you could save me from the way I tend to be
The way I tend to be
 
[Outro]
 
Intro Riff x4
 
The way I tend to be
The way I tend to be
