[Intro]

[Verse]

Saw my life this morning

Lying at the bottom of a drawer

All this stuff I'm saving

God knows what this junk is for

Em Am

And whatever I believed in

This is all I have to show

Em Am

What the hell were all the reasons?

For holding on for such dear life

Here's where I let go

[Chorus]

I'm not running

I'm not hiding

I'm not reaching

I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

Gonna pull my soul in

Em D/F# G

And I'm al - most home

[Bridge]

And I saw you this morning

You were staring back at me

>From an ancient photograph

Em C G

Stuck between some letters and some keys

Em Am

And I was lost for a moment

D G

In the ache of old good-byes

Em Am

Sometimes all that we can know is

There's no such thing as no regrets, and baby it's alright

I'm not running

I'm not hiding

I'm not reaching

I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

Gonna pull my soul in
