Capo 2

Intro: G Fg Em+ Cg x2

G Fg Em+ Cg

She calls early in the morning

G Fg Em+ Cg....

about money that I might have spent

it's a classic case of

I don't know where it went

and I want this to read like a letter

and I want it to ring like a phrase

somewhere out in the road

as the sky's last light burns away

You call, I write, I may answer

I may never send anything

and you'll leave and you'll go

it's alright if we don't remember

Cg - D - Em D C -

Did I say I'd stay? What if I was wrong?

G Fe Em+ Cg G Fe Em+ Cg

I'll be out in the road before you know that I've gone (x2)

D Cg (hammer-on on 4th string)

And I'm tired, of reflection and warning

D Cg

keeping myself at the centre of it all

D Cg

we lie out of boredom

D G Fe Em+ Cg G Fe Em+ Cg

just to stall the inevitable

You're waking in bed, light a candle

you said you were leaving before the sun

and what does it mean to mean something

and never get anything done

Cg - D - Em D C -

I lie in wait for the better part of the day

G Fe Em+ Cg G Fe Em+ Cg

to be out in the road as the sky's last light burns away (x3)
