Verse:
F Am
The last time I took this ride
F Bb
We made great plans, we felt alive
F Am Dm
Heading South from countryside
Bb F
Into a city of hopes and dreams
F Am
How our young hearts laughed and cried
F Bb
How we stood strong, side by side
F Am-Dm (Play Am quickly on the change)
Never thought we'd say goodbye
Bb C
To anything but you
Chorus
Bb F
I remember everything
Bb Dm
Fighting darkness, chasing rain
Am Bb
I guess that was yesterday
F C
But it feels so long ago
Bb F
Whispered songs on radio
Bb Dm
Take me back to what I know
Am Bb F C
It all seemed so beautiful to me---
Bb C F Am F Am
The journey's end is here
Verse (same chords):
Faces line these old town roads
Soft guitars, piano notes
Linger in the air like ghosts
With nothing left to say
Shadowed seasons brought you home
Brighter days have come and gone
Someone somewhere called you on
We could not follow you
Chorus (same chords except where noted):
I think I spoke the faithful line
That things don't leave or break or die
We'll raise your body to the sky
Before we lay it down
Now it seems the only path
Is the one we traveled fast
Destinations cut like glass
Into our history
Bb C Dm
The journey's end is here
Bridge:
Bb
I see an unclosed door
Bb
Where duty used to stand
Bb
I'm going South once more
Bb F Am F Am
To make it on those plans
Verse (same chords):
Every station fades from view
Like the years bestowed on you
But years can be like diamonds too
They sparkle and they shine
But when at last we meet again
I'll shake your hand
I'll call you friend
Sometimes one journey has to end
Bb C F Am-Dm Bb C F
To let another start
