♫ Chorus 1:
C majorC G+G    FF
So far, so good
           C majorC      G+G     FF
You're coming to the bend at the end of the road
     C majorC      G+G      FF
You put a hand to the belly that's foreign more
      C majorC      G+G    FF
With every day like an oversize load

♫ Verse 1:
      C majorC       G+G     FF
And you're thinking about clouds the color of fire
    C majorC      G+G   FF
And the scent of an orange peel
       C majorC     G+G     FF
The way Mount Shasta explodes into windshield view
     C majorC      G+G   FF
And your hands steady on the wheel

♫ Chorus 2:
C majorC G+G    FF
So far, so good
C majorC      G+G          FF
Coffee motel coffee diner coffee, go on
C majorC      G+G        FF
Styrofoam is drying like the tears that once did flow
     C majorC       G+G     FF
Starting 10 o'clock and ending at dawn

♫ Verse 2:
    A minorAm            E minorEm
And you can't go back but you're going back
DmDm    C majorC           G+G
And you don't know what you'll say
A minorAm
You've got half-formed sentences
E minorEm      DmDm           G+G
Explanations for a life half-broken away
G+G
And they just may
G+G
They'll take you in their arms and then take out their knives
    FF
So you drive on thinking

♫ Chorus 3:
C majorC G+G    FF
So far, so good
    C majorC        G+G      FF
But you can't go on much longer like this you know
      C majorC       G+G    FF
You're all alone in this world no that's not true
     C majorC       G+G    FF
The nice Christian lady told you so

♫ Verse 3:
C majorC          G+G        FF
She was handing out pamphlets by the clinic door
    C majorC         G+G      FF
Saying, "Jesus knows what you've been through
     C majorC   G+G     FF
Take the Savior into your heart my child
     C majorC      G+G    FF
There's love waiting for the both of you"

♫ Verse 4:
A minorAm               E minorEm
Well, you don't believe but you have to believe
DmDm     C majorC              G+G
It's still crumpled there in your back seat
A minorAm                   E minorEm
Were you the hero or the worst kind of coward back there
DmDm   G+G
Putting pavement back under your feet
G+G
Couldn't stand the heat
G+G
Couldn't stand the thought of ghosts with a negative age
G+G       FF
Turn the page, ok

♫ Chorus 4:
C majorC G+G    FF
So far, so good
        C majorC      G+G   FF
You try to sing along to the radio-o
C majorC         G+G     FF
But it's not your language, not your song
C majorC          G+G   FF
It's from some other time ago

♫ Verse 5:
C majorC             G+G      FF
And you're thinking about how someone died that day
  C majorC        G+G     FF
The you that was so carefully planned
     C majorC        G+G       FF
But then again maybe this life is like a sleeping mountain
C majorC      G+G     FF
Waking up to shape the land

♫ Verse 6:
C majorC   G+G   FF      C majorC      G+G    FF
Calm, calm, let it come, let it come back to you
C majorC   G+G   FF        C majorC         G+G    FF
Calm, calm, breathe on out, you know you know what to do
C majorC   G+G   FF      C majorC      G+G    FF
Calm, calm, let it come, let it come back to you
