-INTRO-
Intro Riff x4
-VERSE-
C G D C(D0h2)
Some mornings I pray for evening; for the day to be done
C G D Verse Riff 1
Some summer days I hide away and wait for rain to come
C G D C(D0h2)
'Cause it turns out Hell will not be found within the fires below
C G D Em Verse Riff 2
But in making do and muddling through when you've nowhere else to go
-CHORUS-
C** G** D** C** G/E D**
But then I remem---ber you, and the way you shine like truth in all you do
C** G** D** C** G/E D**
And if you remem---bered me you could save me from the way I tend to be
The way I tend to be
Intro Riff x 2
-VERSE-

C G D C(D0h2)
Some days I wake up dazed, my dear; I don't know where I am
C G D Verse Riff 1
I've been running for so long I'm scared I've forgotten how to stand
C G D C(D0h2)
And I stand alone in airport bars and gather thoughts to think
C G D Em Verse Riff 2
That if all I had was one long road it could drive a man to drink
-CHORUS-
C** G** D** C** G/E D**
But then I remem---ber you, and the way you shine like truth in all you do
C** G** D** C** G/E D**
And if you remem---bered me you could save me from the way I tend to be
-BRIDGE-
Am G/B C D Em Cadd9/F# G(A0h2)
'Cause I've said 'I love you' so many times that the words kind of die in my mouth
Am G/B C D Em Cadd9/F# G(A0h2)
And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but, somehow, it never works out
Am G/B C D Em Cadd9/F# G(A0h2)
And you stood apart in my calloused heart and you taught me and here's what I learned
Am G/B C D Em Cadd9/F# G
That love is about all the changes you make and not just three small words
C**~ G**~ D**~ C**~ G/E~ D**~
And then I catch my---self catching your scent on someone else
C**~ G**~ D**~ C** G/E D**
In a crow--ded space and it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place
-CHORUS-
C G D11/A C G/E D11/A
But then I remem---ber you, and the way you shine like truth in all you do
C G D11/A C G/E D11/A
And if you remem---bered me you could save me from the way I tend to be
The way I tend to be
