Capo 2nd

D     C9     G       D     C9      G       D     C9     G       D (HOLD)

Em9                                        C9          G/B
Little roadside restaurant we artfully complain 
Em9                                              C9               G/B
Groovy tells the waitress that his chicken died in vain 
Em9                                        C9          G/B
Most every day goes by according to design 
Em9                          D/F#               G                    A
I live this dream and still it seems I have you on my mind 

[Chorus:]
           G             D
From the bottom of my heart 
          A            D
Off the coast of Carolina 
        G                 D
After one or two false starts 
    Bm                    A
I believe we found our stride 
          G                     D
And the walls that won't come down 
         A               D
We can decorate or climb 
             G               D
Or find some way to get around 
           Bm                   Em
Cause I'm still on your side 
             G           D
From the bottom of my heart. 

D     C9     G       D     C9      G       D     C9     G       D (HOLD)

Em9                                        C9          G/B
I can't see the future but I know it's coming fast

Em9                                        C9          G/B
It's not that hard to wind up knee-deep in the past 

Em9                                                    C9                       G/B
There come alot of Mondays since that phone booth that first night 

Em9                          D/F#               G                    A
Tears and miles and years and smiles I wanna get it right

[Music Bridge]


Em9                                        C9                    G/B
These days I get up about the time I used to go to bed 
Em9                                              C9                    G/B
Living large was once the deal now I watch the stars instead
Em9                                                     C9                   G/B
They're timeless and predictable unlike most things that I do
  Em9                          D/F#               G                    A
I tell the wind and my old friend I'm headed home to you.


             G                    D
From the bottom of my heart 
             A                D
Off the coast of Carolina
          G                       D
After one or two false starts 
    Bm                          A
I believe we found our stride 
              G                              D
And the walls that won't come down 
             A                   D
We can decorate or climb 
                   G                  D
Or find some way to get around 
           Bm                   Em
Cause I'm still on your side 
                    G              D
From the bottom of my heart.
