Intro:

Am    G  C Cadd9

Verse 1:
Am                        G           C        Cadd9
I'm a new soul workin' my way down an old road
Am                 G     C   Cadd9
  Asphalt churches all around
Am                         G        C     Cadd9
  Roots break through this deep foundation
Am                       G     C     Cadd9
  Can't find my place on solid ground

Pre-Chorus:
       F                C
No one taught me how to let go
     Am                       G
Been hangin' by a thread on a tightrope
        Am                   C
And you can't speak what you don't know
           G
That's for sure

Chorus:
         F           G           Am
So don't wait up for me, I don't need
     C
Your searchlight
      F             G                  Am
While you're fast asleep, I'm runnin' free
           C
Yeah, it's all right
  F                        G
I know you had a plan, but that's not who I am
  Am
I don't know where I'll land
      C
But I don't need
     F              G  N.C. Am   G/B C
Your searchlight to see anymore

Verse 2:
Am                                     G    C    Cadd9
Raindrops fall, and they feel like the open ocean
Am                 G      C    Cadd9
Spiderwebs shimmer in the dark
Am                      G       C      Cadd9
  These movies play out in slow motion
Am               G      C     Cadd9
  Cobwebs linger in the heart

Pre-Chorus:
       Fmaj9            C
No one taught me how to let go
     Am                       G
Been hangin' by a thread on a tightrope
            F                    C
But you can still learn what you don't know
           G
That's for sure

Chorus:
N.C.     F           G            Am
So don't wait up for me, I don't need
     C
Your searchlight
      F             G                 Am
While you're fast asleep, I'm runnin' free
           C
Yeah, it's all right
  F                        G
I know you had a plan, but that's not who I am
  Am
I don't know where I'll land
      C
But I don't need
     F              G      Am   G/B C
Your searchlight to see anymore
