[Verse 1]
Em G
Look upon a mountain, waitin' on a train.
D Cadd9
Baby I know what's wrong, and it's still happening.
Em G D Cadd9
Waiting on my... destiny, learning from my abilities.
Em G
Who was wrong and who was right and
Cadd9 D
do we even know why we are fighting?
Em G D
So take your eyes off of me
Cadd9
and look upon the churning sea.
[Chorus]
Em G D
Driving towards the daylight, running from the midnight,
Cadd9
trying to get my way home.
Em G D
Running from the spotlight, trying to find the daylight,
Cadd9
trying to get back home.
[Verse 2]
Em G D Cadd9
Rusty strings on my old guitar, speaks volumes of who you are.
Em G D Cadd9
So never did I think it was you, It was me, one of the chosen few
Em G D Cadd9
Who will it be, oh the next time? Hopefully one with more sense of mind.
Em G
So where did you go? Always will see,
D Cadd9
it's a story of you and me.
[Chorus 2]
Em G D
Driving towards the daylight, running from the midnight,
Cadd9
trying to get my way home.
Em G D
Running from the spotlight, trying to find the daylight,
Cadd9
trying to get back home.
[Solo]
This is the minor lick i play,
anything in the E minor pentatonic will work.
