Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Cmaj7

Chorus:
          Cmaj7
Prettiest thing
           B7
I ever did see
    F                  C/E      Dmin
Was lightning from the top of a cloud
G
Moving through the dark million miles an hour
         F        C
With somewhere to be

Verse 1:
               Cmaj7
So why does it seem
       B7
Like a picture
   F             C/E            Dmin
Is hangin' up on someone else's wall
G
Lately I just haven't been myself at all
           F     C
It's heavy on my mind

Bridge:
        Amin  Bb    F
And I'm drea..min' again
Amin        Bb     F
  Like I've always been
Amin  Bb   F
  Way down low
Amin  G/B
  I still know

Chorus:
                   Cmaj7
That the prettiest thing
           B7
I ever did see
    F            C/E           Dmin
Was dusty as the handle on the door
G
Rusty as a nail stuck in the ol' pine floor
           F       C
Looks like home to me

Bridge:
        Amin  Bb   F
Now I'm drea..min' again
Amin        Bb     F
  Like I've always been
Amin  Bb   F
  Way down low
Amin  G/B
  Thinkin'

Outro:
                 Cmaj7   B7
of the prettiest thing

Cmaj7  B7
