D (riff 1)
A ballerina in Phoenix
D (riff 2)
The pines up north
D (riff 1)
The sunrise from a highway
G D
That was not there before
D G D
If I can place it all together
D G D
Make out the nature of the call
D G D
I start to feel the love and the silence
D G D
That was always at the root of it all
Em/G D
And in my constant quest for truth
Em/G D
I am condemned to facts alone
G /F# Em
And though my dreams all lead me nowhere
Em/G (G?) A D
I wont forget my way back home
From the corner of a coffee shop
Or from the center of a stage
From the words used in a love note
Or from an empty page
While I struggle with these beauties
And my renditions end up dry
Im like a bird that crashes into the window
That was drawn to the reflection of the sky
And the more I try to speak
The more I lose that earthly tone
And before heaven proves me hopeless
I wont forget my way back home
D Am G D
Ooh Oooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh.....
G D
I admit that these answers that I seek
C D
Are all to questions Ive never known
G Em G Em
But I pray to keep on looking for as long as I can roam
G Em
And when the world finally fulfills me
A D
I will not forget my way back home
