Capo 7th fret
[Verse 1]
G
Woke up in a parking lot
C
Air-mattresses gone flat
Em D/F# G C
The sun selecting targets for the shadows to attack
G
So make a visor with your hand
C
And squint at where you're from
Em D/F# G Asus2
A lonely line of buildings you can block out with your thumb
[Refrain 1]
G G/F# G G/F# Em
Salute the ways

[Verse 2]
G
And no one knows we're anywhere
C
We're not supposed to be
Em D/F# G C
So stay a while and watch the wind throw patterns on a field
G
This crop withstood the months of snow
C
The scavengers and blight
Em D/F# G Asus2
Tuned every ear towards a tiny lengthening of light
[Refrain 2]
G D/F# G D/F# Em
And found a way
Asus2 G D/F#
To rise
C C/B Am7 C/B

[Bridge]
Em D/F# G C
We know this world is good enough
Em D/F# G C
Because it has to be
Em D/F# G C
Allow the hope that we will meet
C G
Again out in the winter wheat
[Interlude]
Em D/F# G C
Em D/F# G C
Em D/F# G C
C G
Find me in the winter wheat
