 ALL THE WAY (Emily Saliers)

 capo on 4th fret
 
 G           D             C            G 
 I wasn't looking to shift my direction 
 A7                              C 
 My eyes straight ahead hands ten
 D      
 and two
 
 G           D     C                 G 
 The gravity of our first connection 
 A7                  
 Veering off the road
             C D 
 and into you 
 
 Em                  D                    C          G 
 All the people drive by slowly gawking at the scene 
 Em7                     D              C        D 
 Of the smoldering inevitable spark and gasoline 
 
 Em           C 
 All the way I
  G                         D 
 met you head on full speed 
 C           G                     D 
 At the heart the blue flame burns 
 
 All
 the way I took the crash course impact
 
 But have I learned all that I'm
 supposed to learn
 
 
 No amount of playing safe could save me from
 this day
 
 The head seeking path of my trajectory
 
 Didn't we cooly
 divest of predestination
 
 Slamming into futures we can't see
 
 I
 know what can happen when there's more than meets the eye
 
 But there's no
 way to avoid it just get in the car and drive
 
 
 All the way I met
 you head on full speed
 
 At the heart the blue flame burns
 
 All the
 way I took crash course impact
 
 But have I learned all that I'm supposed
 to learn
 
 
 It makes me laugh, we??re talking over tea
 
 When
 I can still smell the smoke on my sleeve
 
 Steaming like gun smoke the
 wreckage of our past
 
 The scene of a crime I still can't leave
 
 Oh
 you and me, we should let well enough be
 
 But each revisitation points to
 clues
 
 There's the oil slick of uncertainty
 
 And warning signs back
 there we didn't use
 
 At least we laugh about it now how we escaped alive
 
 It's remarkable the mess we make and what we can survive
