[Verse]
C G3 Am Am7/G F
Well, it's 3 a.m. again, like it always seems to be
G1 G2 Am Am/G F
Driving northbound, driving homeward, driving wind is driving me.
G1 G2 Am Am7/G F
It just seems so funny how I always end up here
G1 G2 Am Am/G F
walking outside in a storm while looking way up past the treeline.
G1 G2 G3 G4
It's been some time.
[Chorus]
Am F G5 G5
Give me darkness when I'm dreaming, give me moonlight when I'm leaving,
Am F G5 G5
Give me shoes that weren't made for standing.
Am F G5 G5
Give me treeline, give me big sky, give me snowbound, give me rainclouds,
Am G1 G2 G3 G4
give me bedtime just sometimes.
[Verse]
C G3 Am Am7/G F
Now you're talking in my room, there ain't nobody here,
G1 G2 Am Am/G F
Cause I've been driving like a trucker, I've been wearing through the gears
G1 G2 Am Am/G F
I've been training like a soldier, I've been burning through this sorrow
G1 G2 Am Am/G F G1 G2 G3 G4
The only talking lately is a background radio
Dm F G5 G5
You are my friend and I was a saint
Dm F G5 G5
And riding that hope was like catching some train
Dm F G5 G5
Now I just walk, but I don't mind the rain
Dm F G5 G5
Singing so much softer than I did back then
[Interlude]
C2 G2 Am Am F2 C2 G1 C2
G1 G2 G3 G4
[Verse]
C G Am Am7/G F
Well the night I think is darker, than we can really say,
G1 G2 Am Am/G F
God's been living in that ocean, sending us all the big waves
Am F G5 G5
And I wish I was a sailor so I could know just how to trust
Am F G5 G5
Maybe I could bring some grace back home to dry land for each of us
Dm F G5 G5
Say what you see, you say it so well
Dm F G5 G5
Just say you will wait like snow on the rail
Dm F G5 G5
Combing that train yard for some kind of saint
Dm F G5 G5
Even my own self, it just don't seem mine
[Chorus]
Am F G5 G5
Give me darkness when I'm dreaming, give me moonlight when I'm leaving
Am F G5 G5
Give me mustang horse and muscle, oh, I won't be going gentle
Am F G5 G5
Give me slandered looks when I'm lying, give me fingers when I'm crying
Am F G5 G5
I ain't out there to cheat you, see I killed that damn coyote in me
