INTRO:  A   D   A  D  
there are Atwelve hours
there's a day between uDs
and you Acalled to say you're sorry in your own wDay
there are Aoceans and waves and wires between uDs
and you Acalled to say
you're getting oldDer
and Esometimes planes they Dsmash up in the Asky
and Esometimes lonely Dhearts they just get lAonelier
how dAid you survive all those fires and fDloods?
how dAid you survive your insufferable friDends?
it wAas the plow that broke the western plDains
and its Ajust my heart gets rejected by my vDeins
and sEometimes planes they sDmash up in the sAky
and sEometimes lonely heDarts they just get lAonelier
and lAonelier
and lAonelier
and lAonelier
and lAonelier
and lAonelier
and lAonelier
and lAonelier
     E                     D               A    (strum once for these last 6)
and sometimes planes they smash up in the sky
and sEometimes lonely hDearts they just get lAonelier

INTRO:

there are twelve hours

there's a day between us

A D

and you called to say you're sorry in your own way

A D

there are oceans and waves and wires between us

and you called to say

you're getting older

E D A

and sometimes planes they smash up in the sky

E D A

and sometimes lonely hearts they just get lonelier

A D

how did you survive all those fires and floods?

A D

how did you survive your insufferable friends?

A D

it was the plow that broke the western plains

A D

and its just my heart gets rejected by my veins

E D A

and sometimes planes they smash up in the sky

E D A

and sometimes lonely hearts they just get lonelier

and lonelier

E D A (strum once for these last 6)

and sometimes planes they smash up in the sky

E D A

and sometimes lonely hearts they just get lonelier

A D A D A D A D A D A
