(Inland Territory - 2009)


Intro: D
       D

A
Sun sets in an ocean of brown farmland haze
    F#m
The power lines draped across roads you could drive on for days


          Em
Well it's all too perfect, time to look

Bm
Back at us now
D
Endless and empty like Kansas
              Bm
Our cities of clouds
D
Flat on the table like Kansas


  A
I lay down in sheets, suddenly worn threadbare
     F#m
Every wall I lean on transforms to sliding doors and thin air


       A
Well I hope yours is kinder, let go of this when you find her


          Bm
Bury this hard
D
Down underneath your white canvas
              Bm
Our houses of cards
D
Flat on the table like Kansas


Bm
It's not regret, just an unexpected accounting of debts
A#
Only now called
A#
No it's not regret, just remembrance is all
       Bm
Of how close we had come, the war almost won
      A
But I sent up our flag and moved on


        Bm
You and I
D
Lost to the winter like Kansas
               Bm
And all my goodbyes
D
Flat on the table like Kansas


D
