Fsus Bb
I don't want to hear a love song
GmEb Bb
I got on this airplane just to fly
F7
And I know there's life below
But all that it can show me
Bb
Is the prairie and the sky
Fsus Bb
And I don't want to hear a sad story
Gm Eb Bb
Full of heartbreak and desire
F7
The last time I felt like this
Bb
It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire
Gm C7 Eb Bb
And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn
F7 Bb
I watched it burn, I watched it burn.
Eb Bb
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
F7 Bb
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
Eb Bb
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
F7 Bb
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
Fsus Bb
Well you really got me this time
Gm Eb Bb
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive.
F7
I have come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down
Bb
Out on ninety five
Gm C7
And pretend that it's the ocean
Eb Bb F7
coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
F7 Bb
Baby do you know what I mean
Eb Bb
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
F7 Bb
I would hold my life in his saving grace.
Eb Bb
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
F7 Bb
If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
