(A pretty good outline of the song, tough to tell without the other instruments but 
N.C.
It's a good starting point)
[Verse 1]
GOne day you’re gonna find me
Hangin’ my coat upon your wall, Dmy dear
GI’ve walked these snowy sidewalks
Felt the rain come pourin’ Emdown Don Gme
Like canvas wears color
Without you near I am an empty frame
GI hope you’re waiting for me
I long to hear your past and Emspeak Dyour Gname
[Chorus]
GSo I’m running homeward
GDrifting upward
EmWill you meet me with TGhe Tide?
[Verse 2]
GI’m breakin’ all these tethered lines
Midnight driving those New England Dshores
GAcross the bridge, my thoughts and I
Wander with the highway leading Emto Dyour dGoor
[Chorus]
GSo I’m running homeward
Drifting upward
Will you keep me Gby your side?
GOpen highways
Vacant skyways
EmWill you meet me wiGth The Tide?
[Verse 3]
GThough many years have passed
I’ve not forgotten why you pusheDd away
GBut as sure as night will turn to day
So my love will beEm, keepDing Gme
[Outro]
GRunning homeward
Drifting upward
Will you meet me with The Tide?

[Verse 1]

One day you’re gonna find me

Hangin’ my coat upon your wall, my dear

I’ve walked these snowy sidewalks

Em D G

Felt the rain come pourin’ down on me

Like canvas wears color

Without you near I am an empty frame

I hope you’re waiting for me

Em D G

I long to hear your past and speak your name

[Chorus]

So I’m running homeward

Drifting upward

Em G

Will you meet me with The Tide?

I’m breakin’ all these tethered lines

Midnight driving those New England shores

Across the bridge, my thoughts and I

Em D G

Wander with the highway leading to your door

[Chorus]

So I’m running homeward

Drifting upward

Will you keep me by your side?

Open highways

Vacant skyways

Em G

Will you meet me with The Tide?

[Verse 3]

Though many years have passed

I’ve not forgotten why you pushed away

But as sure as night will turn to day

Em D G

So my love will be, keeping me

[Outro]

Running homeward

Drifting upward

Will you meet me with The Tide?
