[Capo 2]
[Verse 1]
C C/B Am
Though everyone tried to ignore us
C C/B Am
We'd scared them all off by the chorus
F C
There you stood looking proud
F C G
What was left of the crowd at our show
Am G F
and I was 22 backwoods years old
C C/B Am
You were singing that night by yourself
C C/B Am
And I thought I was the only one left
F C
From an old southern town
F C G
New ideas bouncing round in my head
Am G F
And I thought everyone like me was dead
[Chorus]
Am Am/G# Am/G D
And somehow you put down my fears on a page
C C/B Am
When I still had nothing to say
F C
And how I miss you today
F C G
May you find what you gave, all that hope
Am G F
Somewhere down at the end of your rope
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am
Now I know you'll be fine on your own
C C/B Am
And your families all need you at home
F C
And the dream was just smoke
F C G
At least you all got the joke off the bat
Am G F
And you were alright with that
[Chorus]
Am Am/G# Am/G D
And somehow I'm still out here burning my days
C C/B Am
Your voice makes the miles melt away
F C
I'll be guarding your place
F C G
In the lights on the stage of my heart
Am G F
I guess we're all still finding our part
[Bridge]
Dm G C C/B Am
Dm G C C/B Am
Dm G C C/B Am
Dm G C
[Chorus]
Am Am/G# Am/G D
And somehow I'm still out here seeing your faces
C C/B Am
In likely and unlikely places
F C
Somewhere playing too loud
F C G
Or in what's left of the crowd at our show
Am G F
Hanging out when it's past time to go
Am G F
Hanging out when it's past time to go
Am G F
