Version 1Song is mainly fingerpicked, in bluegrass style alternating from the root note. Lyrics are in a conversational type cadence not necessarily [Intro] D G Bm A D [Verse 1] D It was days on end in a minivan G It was lookin' for an X on the map D Long nights shakin' in a stranger's house G With a bottle in my lap D A7 Runnin' from the deafening sound D G Of a future with no one around Bm A7 D From Barcelona to Vestal's Gap [Chorus 1] G A And I spent countless hours walkin' D G I never did like single file Bm A Prayin' to some vague set of eyes D G That it's only for a while D A Now I kneel before the only things I know D G This set of keys and I told-you-so's Bm A D Someday, it'll be worth the miles [Instrumental] D G Bm A D [Verse 2] D It was cigarettes outside an empty bar G On a dark December morning D Months of bad food and a pauper's guitar G Never heedin' any warning D A I've had friends and I've let my friends down D G Lookin' for my heart in the lost and found Bm A D Bare hands, tryin' to stop the rain from pourin' [Chorus 2] G A And I been gainin' on the crack of dawn D G With glass eyes and a smile Bm A Prayin' Saint Faustina please D G Let me go out in style D A7 And I'll never know how far it goes D G 'Til the Devil reaps what I have sown Bm A D 'Til then, I'm going to feel every mile [Outro] D G Bm A D
