I spend my dGays writing letteDrs
I spend my evEmenings singing soCngs
The last five yGears have gone so quDickly
Someday Emsoon my time will be dCone
And I Gused to walk in New York CDity
But watch the suEmnrise east of Tompkins SqCuare
Since I've been gGone, does the city mDiss me?
I woEmnder if she hears mCy call
Chorus:
Though I am Gfar away and I am Dall alone
There are pEmarts of me that still are hColding on
To moments lGong since passed, and secrets DI recall
And friends I uEmsed to have who I dCon't know anymore
I watch the sGky in each new ciDty
It's not so diEmfferent, I see more stCars
Now I'm counting cloGuds to calm my feeDlings
Which tend to Emrace away in the daCrk
Chorus 
I don't wanna Gbe or seem like I don't cDare
It just gets hEmard on me out thCere
But when I drGeam I'm not in MemDphis
I'm on my waEmy home on that trCain
And I don't Gfeel so lost and diffDerent
Lord, the Emmiles, how they cut me dCeep
Chorus

Chords in this song · guitar

G D

I spend my days writing letters

Em C

I spend my evenings singing songs

G D

The last five years have gone so quickly

Em C

Someday soon my time will be done

G D

And I used to walk in New York City

Em C

But watch the sunrise east of Tompkins Square

G D

Since I've been gone, does the city miss me?

Em C

I wonder if she hears my call

Chorus:

G D

Though I am far away and I am all alone

Em C

There are parts of me that still are holding on

G D

To moments long since passed, and secrets I recall

Em C

And friends I used to have who I don't know anymore

G D

I watch the sky in each new city

Em C

It's not so different, I see more stars

G D

Now I'm counting clouds to calm my feelings

Em C

Which tend to race away in the dark

Chorus

G D

I don't wanna be or seem like I don't care

Em C

It just gets hard on me out there

G D

But when I dream I'm not in Memphis

Em C

I'm on my way home on that train

G D

And I don't feel so lost and different

Em C

Lord, the miles, how they cut me deep

Chorus
