[intro]
Dm
[verse]
Dm
I've been driving all night
Dm
On a road to nowhere
Dm
With the devils convoy, black smoke upon my tracks
Dm
Girl, I hardly knew you
Dm
But I could never fool you
Dm
You was always sitting still
Dm
While the world raced to its grave
[chorus]
Dm
When the morning breaks
Dm
I've been driving wide awake
Dm
Cause I've been running so long
Dm
Can't recall what it means to stay
F G Dm
Cause I let you slip away like water right through my hands
F G Dm
Oh baby, your love's like rain in a desert to a thirsty man
Dm
Thirsty man
[verse]
Dm
You know I've seen the mountains
Dm
And the flatlands too
Dm
I've seen all these city streets
Dm
But I still go out searching for you
Dm
Now in the captain's chamber
Dm
There's a ball and chain
Dm
You can run for a million miles but you'll never outrun your name
[chorus]
Dm
When the morning breaks
Dm
I've been driving wide awake
Dm
Cause I've been running so long
Dm
I can't recall what it means to stay
Dm
And all the children sing
Dm
And all the old men sing
Dm
It's better to love and lose
Dm
Than to gain a world on a string
F
Cause I let you slip away
G Dm
Like water right through my hands
F G Dm
Oh baby, your love's like rain in a desert to a thirsty man
Dm
Yeah, thirsty man
[solo]
Dm
[chorus]
Dm
When the morning breaks
Dm
I've been driving wide awake
Dm
Cause I've been running so long
Dm
Can't recall what it means to stay
F G Dm
Cause I let you slip away like water right through my hands
F G Dm
Oh honey, your love's like rain in a desert to a thirsty man
Dm
Yeah, thirsty man
