Intro:
G D Cmaj7

Verse:
C                          G
Some mornings I pray for evening,
D                   Cmaj7
For the day to be done.
C                        G
Some summer days I hide away
D                      Cmaj7
And wait for rain to come.
C                               G
It turns out hell will not be found
D                   Cmaj7
Within the fires below,
C                              G
But in making do and muddling through
D                            Cmaj7
When you've nowhere else to go.
Chorus:
      C      G       D
But then I remember you,
         C                  G               D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
           C    G     D
And if you remembered me,
           C              G            D
You could save me from the way I tend to be.

Interlude:
G D Cmaj7

Verse:
C                              G
Some days I wake up dazed my dear,
D                       Cmaj7
And I don't know where I am.
C                                   G
I've been running now so long I'm scared
D                       Cmaj7
I've forgotten how to stand.
C                         G
I stand alone in airport bars
D                         Cmaj7
And gather thoughts to think:
C                                G
That if all I had was one long road
D                         Cmaj7
It could drive a man to drink.

Chorus:
      C      G       D
But then I remember you,
         C                  G               D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
           C    G     D
And if you remembered me,
           C              G            D
You could save me from the way I tend to be.

Bridge:
         Am            G     C         D              A        Em         G
Because I've said I love you so many times that the words kinda die in my mouth.
         Am            G            C         D          A        Em          G
And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but somehow it never works out.
Am       G         C           D                 A        Em                G
You stood apart in my calloused heart, and you taught me and here's what I learned:
      Am      G     C         D              A        Em         G
That love is about the changes you make and not just three small words.

Bridge:
           C      G   D
And then I catch myself
  C            G                D
Catching your scent on someone else
      C   G   D
In a crowded space
        C                 G               D
And it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place.

Chorus:
      C      G       D
But then I remember you,
         C                  G               D
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
           C    G     D
And if you remembered me,
           C              G            D
