Intro: D ? G ? D ? G
DGD
You're a star, he says, you've bottled your grace
GD
It's a laugh to watch you try to keep pace
GDG
With the steps we made together one night with beer
DAGD
And you called me? Johnny Sunrise
DGD
Johnny Sunrise walks away from me?
GD
Takes his time and he takes me too seriously
GD
Locks his thoughts away in a box he built
GDAGD
While I was gone? Johnny Sunrise
CHORUS
BmF#mGD
But remember the bite of those November nights when we rode out
Em D Asus4?A
To fight for the light of our lives to be turned on?
BmF#m
Sweat and perfume and new bread as the moon faded
G D C (hold?) D (hold?)
Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn't forget in a hurry
C (hold?) D (hold?)
But then we weren't in a hurry?
V2
DGD
Our faces are mirrors lines and scars that we've earned
GD
All the classes we missed all the lessons we learned
GD
All the roads that we took that took us apart
GDAGD
Now you're sitting there saying, "Let's go back to the start."
DGD
And he says, "Lose that luggage let it all go??
GD
Job you got job you lost what it cost all the things you now know
GD
All the girls you once had and the man that you are
GD
Let's climb off this world again
AGD
And climb into my car
AGD
Let's climb into my car
A G D (keep strumming?D?)
Drive away in my car
CHORUS

And remember the bite of those November nights when we rode out

Sweat and perfume and new bread as the moon faded

Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn't forget in a million

years, but then, we didn't have a million years, million years,
million years?
BmF#m
Sweat and perfume and new bread as the moon faded

Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn't forget in a hurry
