[VERSE 1]
       Dm                              Bb              F
I wish I could leave my skin behind in this old rented room
      C                                 Bb
Float my way cross the great divide and be buried in you
Dm                              Bb           F
I been looking far and wide for what I gotta prove
C                            Bb
And putting peaks in my rear view
          Dm                           Bb                 F
Well it's colder here than anyone told me the south could get
      C                                Bb
And I took to staying up real late and smoking cigarettes
Dm                               Bb                F
Cheap tobacco burns the way that bridge between us did
C                                   Bb
And I'm left looking at the glowing ends


[CHORUS]
C          F         Bb
  But am I too far gone
C       F       Bb
  To be running home
          Gm  Dm    Am Bb
Cause I'm longing tonight
      F          C                  Dm    Am Bb F C Bb
To be somewhere 'cross that great divide


[VERSE 2]
       Dm                                 Bb             F
I wish I could take the hands of time and turn them in reverse
    C                                 Bb
I'd take back every long goodbye with venom in my words
    Dm                            Bb               F
The only way to be bein' found is getting lost, at first
    C                              Bb
But all I find are more bridges to burn


[CHORUS]
C         F         Bb
  So am I too far gone
C       F       Bb
  To be running home
          Gm  Dm    Am Bb
Cause I'm longing tonight
      F          C                  Gm Bb
To be somewhere 'cross that great divide


[INTERLUDE]
F C Gm Bb F C


[VERSE 3]
         Dm                           Bb              F
Well the highway has a way of playin' tricks on tired eyes
C                             Bb
I swear that I see you ridin' shotgun late at night
Dm                                    Bb              F
Seems that you're the only thing that never leaves my mind
C                            Bb
The only thing worth getting right


[CHORUS]
C         F         Bb
  So am I too far gone
C            F       Bb
  'Cause I'm running home
   Gm   Dm    Am Bb
If only in my mind
     F          C                  Dm   Am Bb F C Bb
I am somewhere 'cross that great divide
