Verse 2

So I wish I had one sure honest line

to say over and over again

Sung in tune and time

to a melody pure

One clear everpresent pulse

in the pocket

And I'm on the radio so you'll

know that I am yours

Verse 3
G 
Listen to the laughter of
the children
C 
She scratched on the back of a bill
As we climbed past the road
G 
to the schoolhouse
D 
On the burnt crust browning pan hill
G 
To where they don't take
sad for an answer,
C 
A place at the corner of your heart,
D 
G 
Where music meets with memories,
C 
So you can recognize the
D 
feeling from the start
