[Intro]
B  E  B5  F#
B  E  B5  F#
B  E  B5  F#
B  E  B5  F#
[Verse 1]
B                  E
   Behind the wheel, against the road
B              E
   Next to you, the central coast
B                     E
   The central thought within my mind
B                E
   Is how to stay within these lines
C#m               F#
   But still be free
B                E
   Beneath the ground the giants sleep
B               F#
   And maybe we're just in their dreams
B                 E
   The setting sun with every turn
B                  F#
   Above the ground the oak trees burn
                    B   E   B5
And they weep for rain
[Chorus]
              F#            B      E   B5
And for this endless conversation
      F#           B
Instigated by the stars
[Interlude]
B  E  B  F#
[Verse 2]
B                E
   A pocket knife, an old guitar
B            F#
   Coffee cup, a deck of cards
B             E
   Corre corre dashboard feet
B                  F#
   Flashlight children by the stream
B                E
   A box of books, a book of rocks
B                   F#
   One for the birds, one for the knots
B                   E
   That I will learn how to tie
B                 F#
   Around this day, to keep my life
               B   E   B5
From sliding away
[Chorus]
           F#            B     E   B5
From this endless conversation
      F#            B    E   B5
Instigated by the stars
         F#               B      E   B5
A little wood to keep it burning
      F#          E
Fascinated by it all
[Interlude]
B  E  B5  F#
B  E  B5  F#
B  E  G#m F#
B  E  G#m F#
[Verse 3]
B                 E
   The first awake will stoke the coals
B                   F#
   The early morning river rolls
B                 E
   The last one in the swing will break
B                   F#
   Stones will stack, the kids will make
Those lines
B             E
   Rocks a-boxing by the creek
B             F#
   And the lines begin to speak
B                E           B
   Words are broken smoke signals
            F#
That will lead us into the light
                   B    E   B5
Into it all and always
[Chorus]
        F#            B     E   B5
Always endless conversation
      F#            B    E   B5
Implicated by the stars
          F#              B      E   B5
A little wood to keep it burning
      F#          E
Fascinated by it all
       B
And always
