INTRO:
G* D* Em* C* Cmaj C* x4
VERSE 1:
Some moCmajrnings I pray for Gmajevening, for the Dday to be Cmajdone.
Some suCmajmmer days I Gmajhide away, and wDait for rain to come.
Cos' it Cmajturned out hell will Gmajnot be found, DWithin the fires Cmajbelow.
But in Cmajmaking do and Gmajmuddling through, When you've Dnowhere else to go.
CHORUS:
C** G** D**
But then I remem ------ ber you,
C** Cadd9* D**
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
C** G** D**
And if you remem ------ bered me,
C** Cadd9* D**
You could save me from the way I tend to be,
The way I tend to be.

VERSE 2:
Some days I wake up dazed my dear, and I don't know where I am.
I've been running now so long I'm scared, I've forgotten how to stand.
And I stand around in airport bars, and gather thoughts to think:
That if all I had was one long road, it could drive a man to drink.
CHORUS:
But then I remem ------ ber you,
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
And if you remem ------ bered me,
You could save me from the way I tend to be.
BRIDGE:
Am G Cmaj Dsus2 Em A* Gmaj
Because I've said I love you so many times that the words kinda die in my mouth.
Am G Cmaj Dsus2 Em A* Gmaj
And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but somehow it never works out.
Am G Cmaj Dsus2 Em A* Gmaj
But you stood apart in my calloused heart, and you taught me and here's what I learned:
Am G Cmaj Dsus2 Em A* Gmaj
That love is about all the changes you make and not just three small words.
PRE-CHORUS:
C**~ G**~ D**~
And then I catch my ------ self,
C**~ Cadd9*~ D**
Catching your scent on someone else,
C**~ G**~ D**~
In a crowd ------ ed space,
C** Cadd9* D**
And it takes me somewhere I cannot qui --- te place.
CHORUS:
But then I remem ------ ber you,
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
And if you remem ------ bered me,
You could save me from the way I tend to be,
The way I tend to be.
