Intro: D G Verse 1: D G Saw the world from up close, it ain't much to look at Compared to you in your work clothes, waving hello from the driveway D G I can't make myself whole, most days I'd be lucky just to get half. But you've seen me in places so low, you can recognize when it's real bad D G When it's real bad Verse 2: D Used to hate the silence, used to make me think about the old days G And all the miles in my legs, the late flights and missed birthdays D Out here I can hear your heartbeat, I can hear the start of a long sigh G I can hear the song of the robin, I haven't wrote my own in a long time Bm G And it's just fine
Chorus: D F#m G 'Cause I don't need my name back, throw my notebook in the basement D F#m G Oh, I love you, and I can't fake that for a moment We go way back, we go way back D F#m G Tell me I don't need options, that I have substance, that I'm important D F#m G If it's only for letting dogs out, sweeping porches, then make me nothing Post-Chorus: Bm A G Take me way back Bm A D G We go way back Verse 3: D The little pebble marks on your car door, the sound of your feet on the gravel G Said, "I'm always tryin' to run from what I'm known for," baby, that's the thing about a shadow D I've never seen the rain fall so hard, honey, we're north of nowhere now G Heaven is a drink in the backyard Bm As we watch the storm touch down G And it's pourin' out Chorus: D F#m And I don't need my name back G Throw my notebook in the basement D F#m Oh, I love you and I can't fake that G For a moment, we go way back, we go way back D F#m Tell me I don't need options G That I have substance, that I'm important D F#m If it's only for lettin' the dogs out G Sweepin' porches won't make me nothin' Post-Chorus: Bm A G Take me way back Bm A G We go way back. Outro: Bm A G Take me way, way back Bm A G We go way back. Bm A G Bm A G Ooh-hm Bm A G Bm A G
