[Verse]
CWell, it's 3 a.G3m. again, like it Amalways seemAm7/Gs to beF  
G1 G2   Am   Am/G  F  
Driving northbound, driving homeward, driving wind is driving me.
G1 G2   Am   Am7/G  F  
It just seems so funny how I always end up here
G1 G2   Am   Am/G  F  
walking outside in a storm while looking way up past the treeline.
G1 G2   G3  G4  
It's been some time.
[Chorus]
Give me Amdarkness when I'Fm dreaming, give G5me moonlight when I'm G5leaving,
AmGive me shoes that werenF't made for stanG5ding.G5  
GAmive me treeline, give mFe big sky, give G5me snowbound, gG5ive me rainclouds,
AmG1 G2   G3  G4  
give me bedtime just sometimes.
[Verse]
Now you're talkiCng in my roG3om, there ainAm't noAm7/Gbody hereF,
G1 G2   Am   Am/G  F  
Cause I've been driving like a trucker, I've been wearing through the gears
G1 G2   Am   Am/G  F  
I've been training like a soldier, I've been burning through this sorrow
G1 G2   Am   Am/G   FG1 G2   G3  G4  
The only talking lately is a background radio
DmYou are my friFend and I was a G5saintG5  
DmAnd riding thaFt hope was like catching some traG5inG5  
DmNow I just walFk, but I don't mind the rainG5  G5  
DmSinging sFo much softer than I did back thenG5  G5

[Verse]
Well the Cnight I think is darkerG, than Amwe can reAm7/Gally sayF,
G1 G2   Am   Am/G  F  
God's been living in that ocean, sending us all the big waves
And I wiAmsh I was a sailoFr so I could knG5ow just how to trustG5  
Maybe I Amcould bring some graFce back home to G5dry land for each of usG5  
DmSay what yoFu see, you say it so G5wellG5  
DmJust say you will waFit like snow on the G5railG5  
DmCombing that tFrain yard for some kind of signG5  G5

[Chorus]
Give me Amdarkness when I'm dreamiFng, give me G5moonlight when I'm G5leaving
