AmC
I want to live where soul meets body
AmC
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
AmC
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
GAm
And feel, feel what its like to be new
C
Cause in my head there's a greyhound station
AmC
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
AmC
So they may have a chance of finding a place
G
where they're far more suited than here
AmCG
I do believe it's true
AmCG
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
AmC
If the silence takes you
G
Then I hope it takes me too

AmC
I cannot guess what we'll discover
AmC
We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
AmC
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another's
G
And not one speck will remain
AmCG
I do believe it's true
AmCG
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
AmC
If the silence takes you
G
Then I hope it takes me too
