Verse 1:
G D
I knew you before we met
Em7 Cadd9
We don't need all the answers yet
G D
I'm sure time will change me some
Em7 Cadd9
You see what I could become
Verse 2:
G D
So much left to figure out
Em7 Cadd9
I never took the easy route
G D
I was born with my boots on
Em7 Cadd9 G Am7
You take 'em off me when I'm gone?
Chorus:
C
I love you like the morning loves the afternoon
G Dsus2
Like the prairies love the plains
Am7 C
If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
G Dsus2
I'll be the wind behind the rain
Verse 3:
G D
I wanna see you smiling when you're ninety
Em7 Cadd9
And I'll always see you like you are right now
G D
All my wild beginnings are behind me
Em7 Cadd9
And I know that we can stick it out somehow
Verse 4:
G D
Oh, I wanted you the first time that I saw you
Em7 Cadd9
In that bar where all my friends left me behind
G Dsus2
I wasn't even fishing when I caught you
Em7 Cadd9 G Am
But I always had your picture in my mind
Chorus:
C
I love you like the morning loves the afternoon
G Dsus2
Like the prairies love the plains
Am7 C
If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
G Dsus2
I'll be the wind behind the rain
Interlude:
G D Em C
G D Em C G Am
Chorus:
C
I love you like the ocean loves the silver moon

Like Frank and Jesse loved the train

If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
G Dsus2
I'll be the wind behind the rain
