Chords with lyrics

Intro:

FF | FF | FF | FF |  (x6)


Verse 1:
   FF
That punk with a mustache who brought us our breakfast
 FF               FF
Never came back with the check
     FF
On our third day of driving with no expectations
  FF              FF
Except some vague sense of The West

Chorus:
   FF      F# minorF#m        FF         FF
Our silence was stretched between nerves and the knowledge
   FF            F# minorF#m
The ring that she wore wasn't mine
     FF    F# minorF#m       FF       FF
Because people get tired and they turn on each other
     FF          F# minorF#m
And the rivers run from the divides
   FF       F# minorF#m     FF
That night we drove into Grand Junction
   FF      G+G           F# minorF#m
The lights were weeping and deep and divine
       FF       F# minorF#m      FF      FF
She said I trust that we'll get somewhere safe by the storm
     FF
But I'm scared of the size of this sky


Instrumental:
FF | FF | FF | FF |
FF | FF | FF | FF |
FF | FF | FF | FF |
FF | FF | FF | FF |


Verse 2:
 FF
Janie, I fear that our love from last year
    FF             FF
Was a tenor that's hard to maintain
   FF
Lost half what we had through a hole in the bag
     FF             FF
And the cellophane won't take the blame

Chorus:
     FF      F# minorF#m      FF        FF
If we stretch out our funds we can get through the month
    FF              F# minorF#m
But at some point there must come a time
     FF       F# minorF#m        FF     FF
That we sell something shipped from the wishes you list
     FF            F# minorF#m
For the guys that you talk with online
     FF    F# minorF#m        FF     FF
She said mister if you're thinking that far ahead
     G+G                         FF BB FF C minorCm
Can you see where we live when we get to the end of this?
  G+G                          FF  BB FF C minorCm
Besides you don't like when I lean on those kinds of friends


Bridge:
  G+G      FF
It hurts being human
    F# minorF#m       BB    FF
But our instincts will keep us alive
            (FF)
We Do what we Do to survive


Instrumental:
FF | FF | FF | FF |
FF | FF | FF | FF |
FF | FF | FF | FF |
FF | FF | FF | FF |


Chorus:
    FF       F# minorF#m    FF     FF
On the next day of driving with no real direction
  FF           F# minorF#m
Except for the sunset out west
      FF      F# minorF#m       FF      FF
She said I like having friends who check out and check in
   FF            F# minorF#m
So what if they send me some gifts?
     FF     F# minorF#m       FF       FF
In Grand Junction it seemed all the mountains were mocking
  G+G            F# minorF#m
Our own little pitiful lives
    FF     F# minorF#m      FF      FF
On the side of the road with her arms in the air
 FF
Amazed by the size of the sky
