[Verse 1]
E
That punk with a mustache who brought us our breakfast
A E
Never came back with the check
E
On our third day of driving with no expectations
A E
Except some vague sense of The West
[Chorus]
E C#m A E
Our silence was stretched between nerves and the knowledge
A C#m
The ring that she wore wasn't mine
E C#m A E
Because people get tired and they turn on each other
A C#m
And the rivers run from the divides
E C#m A
That night we drove into Grand Junction
E B C#m
The lights were weeping and deep and divine
E C#m A E
She said I trust that we'll get somewhere safe by the storm
A
But I'm scared of the size of this sky
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
E
Janie, I fear that our love from last year
A E
Was a tenor that's hard to maintain
E
Lost half what we had through a hole in the bag
A E
And the cellophane won't take the blame
[Chorus]
E C#m A E
If we stretch out our funds we can get through the month
A C#m
But at some point there must come a time
E C#m A E
That we sell something shipped from the wishes you list
A C#m
For the guys that you talk with online
E C#m A E
She said mister if you're thinking that far ahead
B E D A F#
Can you see where we live when we get to the end of this?
B E D A F#
Besides you don't like when I lean on those kinds of friends
[Bridge]
B C
It hurts being human
C#m D A
But our instincts will keep us alive
(E)
We do what we do to survive
[Instrumental]
E | E | E | E |

[Chorus]
E C#m A E
On the next day of driving with no real direction
A C#m
Except for the sunset out west
E C#m A E
She said I like having friends who check out and check in
A C#m
So what if they send me some gifts?
E C#m A E
In Grand Junction it seemed all the mountains were mocking
B C#m
Our own little pitiful lives
E C#m A E
On the side of the road with her arms in the air
A
Amazed by the size of the sky
