Gbooks of Emerson books of Thoreau
But Amall I read was maps of the road
I was C3,000 miles away from you and
GAll the while I was 22

The Ambest way for me was to drop out on tour
You Cwent to upstate New York to go to school
To seGcure your roll with your parents
CHORUS
But GI got a Amnew persCpective of Gyou
GAll the Amgood and bad that Cwe went Gthrough
I know you Gbetter than    Am  Cyou know Gyou
Because AmI got a Cnew perspective of Gyou
VERSE
I Gnever needed much I never liked to loom
But a Amgesture can get me from across the room
The first Cnight we talked while the sun caught up
TransGparent people melting around us
You Gleft on a plane I left in a van
Played Amnightclubs house parties and auditoriums
Saw CGermany and Englany with my band
I Gknow you better girl than your new friends

Then Amback on the road for another show
CThis is all I've ever done
Ggirl I'vve got nothing else to fall back on

VERSE (PM):

books of Emerson books of Thoreau

But all I read was maps of the road

I was 3,000 miles away from you and

All the while I was 22

What do you do to know who you are

The best way for me was to drop out on tour

You went to upstate New York to go to school

To secure your roll with your parents

CHORUS

G Am C G

But I got a new perspective of you

G Am C G

All the good and bad that we went through

G Am C G

I know you better than you know you

Am C G

Because I got a new perspective of you

VERSE

I never needed much I never liked to loom

But a gesture can get me from across the room

The first night we talked while the sun caught up

Transparent people melting around us

You left on a plane I left in a van

Played nightclubs house parties and auditoriums

Saw Germany and Englany with my band

I know you better girl than your new friends

CHORUS

Then back on the road for another show

This is all I've ever done

girl I'vve got nothing else to fall back on
