Verse 1:
Our story began like a bona fied hurricane down in Old Boheme
Like the blast from a barrel shook me down to the marrow
Left me begging you for more of the same
I knew you were moving like the continental drift
and that the wind would soon be blowing your way
So I didn’t let go and I’m still holding on today

Chorus

Verse 2:
Heaven’s up above or falling to the ground and I just try to understand
Every way and anyway to make it home alive and lay still, hand in hand
And in the black where the heart is taxed to the bone, leaving one bare
Don’t let go my dear
Chorus

Intro: Em G D Cadd9


[Cadd9-G]
It seems we’re okay
Through we are medicate
To come down from the pain if it’s save
We all wait for rain when the dustbowl of shame
Feels our lungs with regret that we’ve saved

Chorus:
It seems we’re okay growing old from a miles of
Broken hearted and love songs in shagri-la styles
Burning fumes, alone in rooms
Occasionally high through the wait, lord the weight

Interlude

[Cadd9-G]
Cough it up and sift thought the remnants of old news
And leave it in the gutte to wash
Cause there ain’t no blackwoods or water there run to
Just to burnout the end or the cause

Chorus:
It seems we’re okay growing old from a miles of
Broken hearted and love songs in shagri-la styles
Burning fumes, alone in rooms
Occasionally high through the wait, lord the weight
Trough the wait, lord the weight

Bridge
Let’s get a handle on ourselves again
And hold truth to our love and our friends

Chorus:
It seems we’re okay growing old from a miles of
Broken hearted and love songs in shagri-la styles
Burning fumes, alone in rooms
Occasionally high through the wait, lord the weight
Through the wait, lord the weight
Through the wait, lord the weight

Verse: C, E, F, G

How would we have known we would wash away.
As two solemn searchin’ souls, together to the sea.

Chorus: C, Am, G, F

Oh I must say, my heart’s on fire
since I’ve been away,
since I last saw your face.
Oh Come what may, it’ll all get right
and lonely old nights will be a thing in the past.

Lord I wish you to sleep
as sound as your eyes and as sweet.
I wish you to know I believe
that your company leaves me right as rain.

Oh I must say, my heart’s on fire
but I don’t mind the pain,
you’re far worth the pain.

For now, I wish you to sleep
as sound as your eyes and as sweet.
I wish you to know I believe
that your company leaves me right as rain.
Leaves me right as rain.

(Violin solo) ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘

After all, I wish you would sleep
as sound as your eyes and as sweet.
I wish you to know I believe
that your company leaves me right as rain.
Leaves me right as rain.

Verse:

We come and go to let it bleed
Burning midnight oil and candles at both ends to see
All I’ve known is nothing’s free
and nothing’s easy when you’re sowing busted hearts on sleeves

Chorus:
Oh I gave my hand to take you home
but I had no home to give you

Repeat Intro

Verse:

I can’t say where I’m from
I’ve been moving since my mama gave me to a Texas sun
Some may say I’m a nomad by fate
tempered from the road right after beeing forged in flames

Chorus:

Oh I gave my hand to take you home
but I had no home to give you

Bridge:
Do I take more than give?
It’s all I’ve known
but I don’t want to roam from you for long,
before I find you gone

Chorus:

Oh I gave my hand to take you home
but I have no home to give you

I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
before you’re gone
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
before I’m lost

D (hammer off/on third string, listen to the song)
The tired winds blow and the restless go home
and the haggard lies down to sleep
Where the hours go slow and the beauty we know
is the love, that is the key

Lay awake and breath while the fire overtakes me
Down this lonesome road. Ole diesel, please take me home

When the curtains do close and the night becomes old
and the willing go on their way
No ones in sight so they shut down the lights
Since the bottles all have gone dry

D (lift index finger like intro)

Harp solo in D:
[(A)]

When it rains son it pours heaven opens its doors
to drop hell straight from the sky
The open road’s gone and the darkness is calm
Enough to take your dear life

Stay awake and breathe, and struggle to stay in the lines
Down this lonesome road. Ole diesel, please take me home

When the curtains do close and the night becomes old
and the stragglers all find their way
No ones in sight so they shut down the lights
Since the bottles all have gone dry

Stay awake and breathe, while the fire overtakes me
Down this lonesome road. Ole diesel she brought me home

The tired winds blow and the restless go home
and the haggard lies down to sleep
Where the hours go slow and the beauty we know
is the love, that is the key
