Intro 1
(A major) (G major) (E minor) (G major) (D major) (A major)
(E minor) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
You looked small (A major) in your coat,
one hand up on the (E minor) window
So (G major) long now (D major) you'd been
lost in (A major) thought
(E minor)
Verse 2
No snow (A major) on the road we'd been lucky
And it (E minor) looked like we would
be (G major) well (D major) past Orleans
(A major) (E minor) And (A major) past Montmagny,
the road giving way (E minor) to river
The frozen (G major) Saint (D major) Lawrence
white and (A major) blue
We went out on the ice,
and I turned back to you, a (E minor) figure
(G major) Distant and small (D major) in the long (A major) view
Verse 3
Was it a look (G major) in your eye? (D major) I wasn't sure (A major)
The way it (G major) is and the way it
(D major) could be both (A major) are
We got back in the (E minor) car
Interlude 1
(E minor) (G major) (D major) (A major) (E minor) (G major)
(D major) You always
Verse 4
(A major) tell me the truth
Even when it hurts me
(E minor) or it hurts you
Could you (G major) go a little (D major) easy
(D minor) would it (A major) kill you?
Living out the dream,
out on the road now (E minor) for a couple weeks
So (G major) intimate with (D major) all that we had (A major) wanted
All that we (G major) hoped for and
(D major) all that we (A major) dreamed
The way it (G major) is and the way (D major) it could (A major) be
Verse 5
But (A major) (D major) (E minor) (G major) (D major) (G major) how long
is it going to go (E minor) on?
I'm gonna count on,
(D major) I'm gonna hold out for nothing (A major) much
(G major) A little kindness,
(E minor) a little praise some days (D major)
I get so close, but I don't (A major) really touch
(G major) What I get, (D major) or what I (A major) need
The way it (G major) is and the way
(D major) it could (A major) be
Interlude 2
(A major) (E minor) (G major) (D major)
Verse 6
(D major) Two (A major) brown dogs came out (D major) running
cross (A major) the (E minor) highway
(G major) Panting and (D major) low to the ground (A major)
And then they were gone
For a moment, I had (E minor) run them down
I (G major) closed and (D major) opened my (A major) eyes
They were (G major) running up the hill
on (D major) the other side (A major)
The way it (G major) is and the way (D major) it could (A major) be,
Outro 1
both are
(E minor) (G major) (D major) (A major) (E minor) (G major) (D major)
