A ballerina in Phoenix

The pines up north
D (riff 1)
The sunrise from a highway
That was Gnot there beforDe
DIf I can plaGce it all togDether
DMake out the Gnature of the Dcall
DI start to feel the loGve and the siDlence
DThat was always at tGhe root of it Dall
Em/GAnd in my constant quest for trDuth
Em/GI am condemned to facts aDlone

And though my dreams all lead me nowhere
 Em/G(G?)                   A  D  
I wont forget my way back home
From the corner of a coffee shop
Or from the center of a stage
From the words used in a love note
Or from an empty page
While I struggle with these beauties
And my renditions end up dry
Im like a bird that crashes into the window
That was drawn to the reflection of the sky
And the more I try to speak
The more I lose that earthly tone
And before heaven proves me hopeless
I wont forget my way back home
DOoh Oooh OoAmh Ooh OGoh Ooh...D..
GI admit that these answers tDhat I seek
CAre all to questions Ive neveDr known
GBut I pray to keep on looEmking fGor as long as I can roEmam
GAnd when the world finally fuEmlfills me
I will not forgAet my way back Dhome
