Intro:
D A G D
Verse:
D
It’s been a long time since I’ve remembered
A
There’s been some hard times I choose to forget
G
It’s been a long ride
D D
Just want to be back home
D
Woke up one morning
Tried to catch my breath
A
Never saw the sunrise
Never could be my best
G
'Cause it’s cold inside
D D
Cold like a winter's breeze
Pre-Chorus:
D
But I grew up in Texas
Where the hot winds roamed
A
Yeah, I dreamed of flying
Wherever that may go
G
So I stole a bag of wishes
D D
Rolled some dice and carried on my way
Chorus:
Bm
Oh daylight saves
A
It dawns upon
G
The shell of a man
Who’s always on the run
Bm
And dare I say
A
It’s his guiding light
G
It always treats him right
Keeps the heartstrings in line
Bm
When he’s gone
D
Gone out west
F#m
Living on less
A
Ohhhh oh
Bm D
And I’ve tried to live a life
F#m
It’s hard to live and breathe
A A
When you've seen the other side
Verse:
D
So I’ll contest
All my aches and pains
A
Count all my blessings
See what remains
G
And I’ll find a field of fire
D D
I’ll catch my flame
D
Yeah, I could’ve done better
But I could have done worse
A
World keeps on spinning
For what it's worth
G
And I’ll hold the line
D D
Till dusk turn to dawn
Chorus:
Bm
'Cause daylight saves
A
It dawns upon
G
The shell of a man
Who is always on the run
Bm
And dare I say
A
It’s his guiding light
G
It always treats him right
Keeps the heartstrings in line
Bm
When he is gone
D
Gone out west
F#m
Living on less
A
Ohhhh oh
Bm D
And I’ve tried to live a life
F#m
It’s hard to live and breathe
A A
When you've seen the other side
