Verse 1:
Em
Turned into a sad, sad song before I knew it well
G
Shouldn't put that record on
Em
But I don't mind the hell I feel while dancin' with your memory
All alone and I can't sleep
G D C
Nothing left for me except grab my keys and go
Chorus 1:
C
They don't know what they don't know
But they tell me it gets better
Em
I've been waitin' on the sun
D
Staying stuck in stormy weather
C
Keep on searching for some water
While I'm wandering the desert
Em D C
White knucklin' the hand that I can't hold
D C
Gas pedal on back roads
D C
And dust settles but hearts don't
Verse 2:
Em
Met a drifter on the state line, said he came from east El Paso
G
Said he seen that running in my eyes
If he was me, he'd go on home
Em
To the lonely I've been running from
All the nights that I've spent drunk
G D C
Sent him on his way but he still didn't change my mind
Chorus 2:
C
They don't know what they don't know
But they tell me it gets better
Em
I've been waitin' on the sun
D
Staying stuck in stormy weather
C
Keep on searching for some water
While I'm wandering the desert
Em D C
White knucklin' the hand that I can't hold
D C
Gas pedal on back roads
D C
And dust settles but hearts don't
Em D
Hearts don't
Bridge:
D C
Highways searching for a sign
Am
There ain't none in sight
Chorus 3:
C
They don't know what they don't know
But they tell me it gets better
Em
I've been waitin' on the sun
D
Staying stuck in stormy weather
C
Keep on searching for some water
While I'm wandering the desert
Em D C
White knucklin' the hand that I can't hold
D C
Gas pedal on back roads
D C
And dust settles but hearts don't
Em D
Hearts don't
C Em
hearts don't, hearts don't
D C
Mmm Mmm
