Am C
I want to live where soul meets body
Am C
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
Am C
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
G Am
And feel, feel what its like to be new
C
Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Am C
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
Am C
So they may have a chance of finding a place
G
where they’re far more suited than here
Am C G
I do believe it’s true
Am C G
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
Am C
If the silence takes you
G
Then I hope it takes me too

Am C
I cannot guess what we'll discover
Am C
We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
Am C
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another’s
G
And not one speck will remain
Am C G
I do believe it’s true
Am C G
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
Am C
If the silence takes you
G
Then I hope it takes me too
