NOTE: INTRO and first verse, play the power chords (i.e., G5 and C5)


INTRO: G  C (4x)

G                       C
I remember Houston, the air was too close
    G                           C
And you said "let me outta this cage right now"
G                   C
New Orleans was to be the next stop
G                        C
People are free there to breathe when they want
   G                           C
It turned out the heat was too great there
     G                        C
They wore blue suits and they ate there


INTRO


A U-Haul trailer and a girlfriend
Took you to San Fransisco Bay
For peace, for love, and happiness
But somethin' went wrong in the middle of the night
Who knows what makes a heart race too fast
And who knows what makes it just stop


BRIDGE:
D                       C
Somehow I still feel it was a mistake
    D                C              G
And surely it wasn't just your heartbreak
    D                      C
And maybe the sky was just running out of hope
    D                                C                   
And maybe the Heavens opened up and dropped down a rope...
        G
And you grabbed it


INTRO


Sometimes on clear days I try to find you
But I never see anything but space
Sometimes in the middle of the night
I hear a whisper and sometimes a scream
But I wonder what you're tryin' to say
I think I may know what it is


'Cause I'm still here and I'm tryin' to win
And you're tryin' to tell me that I can't
'Cause there's not enough love to fill me here
My heart races fast just like yours


BRIDGE:
     D                      C
I'll never forget that last look on your face
    D                  C             G
And maybe you were too good for this place
    D                      C 
And maybe the sky was just running out of hope
    D                            C                  
And maybe the Heavens opened and dropped down a rope...
   G       C
My brother
   G       C
My brother
   G       C
My brother
