Tom: G
C
[Verse 1]
C Em
There's a thin white line
C Em
Cutting up the plains
C G
As I travel back in time
D Em
And hours swallow up the days
C Em
Watch the lights come up
C Em
In the city where you are
C G D C
And I close my eyes and feel the warmth of falling in your arms
[Chorus]
A Cmaj7 G Em
Somebody cut me loose today
A C G Cmaj7
But I don't have a use for my wings in a hurricane
A Am7
Unless I'm on my way
[Verse 2]
C Em
I met a girl back east
C Em
Who said 'don't trust the weatherman'
C G D Em
He never know when a sudden storm is gonna consecrate the land
C Em
She said on nights like these
C G
I can hear the monuments
C G D C
Just like us they're drinking poison singing what they can't forget
[Chorus]
A Cmaj7 G Em
Somebody cut me loose today
A C G Cmaj7
But I don't have a use for my wings in a hurricane
A Am7
Unless I'm on my way
[Bridge]
C Em
I felt my heart grow wild
C G
With every valley that I crossed
C Em
Oh I knew nothing of the desert
C G Em
But the fear of being lost and you can't hear me now
C Am Em
But I've been calling out your name
C G D C
When I wake up drenched in nightmares and find I'm alone again
[Chorus]
A Cmaj7 G Em
Somebody cut me loose today
A C G Cmaj7
But I don't have a use for my wings in a hurricane
A Am7
Unless I'm on my way
[Outro]
C Em
And if you're not home
C G
On the day that I get back
C G D C
I will wait up in the kitchen like you did the day I left
