[Intro]
Em
[Verse]
C
Dust settles after a hit and run
Em C
Bewildered by the damage done
G C
I don't know why we choose the roads we travel
G C Em C
Or how a life could get so unravelled
[Chorus]
Em C G D
We live our lives from then until now
Em C G D
By the mercies received or the mark upon our brow
Em C G D
To my heart I'll collect what the four winds will scatter
Em C G C Em C
And frame my life by before and after
[Verse]
Em C
Once a trick of light made me believe
Em C
A red fire was blazing from every tree
G C
We held hands as the evening gathered
G C Em C
I forgave myself for what I didn't ask her
[Verse]
Em C
Once I saw the sky filled with falling stars
Em C
Bumped my head in the dark and it left a scar
G C
Held on too tight before I let it go
G C Em C
Then forgave myself for what I didn't know
[Chorus]
Em C G D
We live our lives from then until now
Em C G D
By the mercies received or the mark upon our brow
Em C G D
To my heart I'll collect what the four winds will scatter
Em C G C Em C
And frame my life by before and after
[Bridge]
G
I've stretched my soul over fifty states
Am G
I have lived on fumes and religious cornflakes
C G
And once I dreamt my shoes had grown thin and battered
Am C N.C.
And forgave myself for what didn't matter
[Verse]
