Verse 1:
        D             A        G
Did you hear the one about the girl
      G     D      Em     D
Who'd never seen a cactus tree?
       D                  A         G
In her mind she traveled around the world
          G     D       Em  D
But never saw a plane until seventeen
      F#m
White knuckling the armrest
     Em
Only bound for Idaho
F#m
Hoping for the best
              G                    A
But you don't know what you don't know

Chorus:
        D            A      G
That it only takes a window seat
                     Em         Bm  A G
To see the world was underwater too
      D           A       G
And I only had to lose my way
      A        D   A G
To be found by you
               D   A G
To be found by you


Verse 2:
   D                        A          G
He went out the window on a New Year's Day
    G             D         Em       D
And shattered his body on a downtown street
            D                 A      G
Yeah, we're all just a broken heart away
     G                D          Em        D
From making a promise that we're forced to keep
      F#m           Em
Doing 90 in a 45 on Ambien and Jack
    F#m
The spinning wheel makes a ticking sound
        G                 A
And sometimes it lands on black


Chorus:
D                 A       G
Some kids make it home at night
    Em              Bm A G
And some kids never do
  D             A       G
I almost had to lose my mind
      A        D   A G
To be found by you
               D   A G
To be found by you


Verse 3:
          D                      A         G
There's a picture of you on your grandma's wall
G            D        Em           D
You and your hair are straight and light
             D                     A         G
It's just an awkward moment that's locked in time
          G    D     Em      D
But I can see Elijah in your eyes
F#m                              Em
What I wouldn't give to hold you in those days and still
F#m                          G                  A
What if we had broke up over Jagged Little Pill?


Chorus:
         D                A        G
We don't curse the broken miles of age
        Em                Bm A G
That it takes to see this through
        D               A          G
Yeah, I probably had to lose those years
      A        D
To be found by you
  D              A      G
I know I had to lose my way
      A        Bm A E
To be found by you


Bridge:
     F#m                     Bm     A E G
In a moment everything could change
            Bm      A G D A
Anything can  change


Outro:
       Bm
Let it go
        A
Keep it light
       G
Let it snow
        D       A        Bm
Let the wind blow all night
          A          G
It's only life after all
       D      A     Bm
It's a blink of an eye
                A
It's a long goodbye
                E
It's a long goodbye
           G
It's a long

Goodbye
