Am          C
I want to live where soul meets body
Am            C
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
Am             C
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
  G               Am
And feel, feel what its like to be new

              C
Cause in my head there's a greyhound station
Am             C
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
Am              C
So they may have a chance of finding a place
       G
where they're far more suited than here


Am  C      G
I do believe it's true
        Am      C      G
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
    Am      C
If the silence takes you
    G
Then I hope it takes me too

  Am      C    G
So brown eyes I hold you near
         Am     C    G
Cause you're the only song I want to hear
    Am    C    G
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Am         C
I cannot guess what we'll discover
Am            C
We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
   Am            C
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another's
  G
And not one speck will remain

Am  C      G
I do believe it's true
        Am      C      G
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
    Am      C
If the silence takes you
    G
Then I hope it takes me too
