Em D C 


[Verso 1]
 
G                        C               G 
Never thought much of stillness til I met you 
            Em               D                 C 
I was always moving, always chasing something new 
            G       C                   G 
Ive spent 28 years ramblin' on this big earth 
           Em        D                 C 
tryin to figure out what this life is worth 
 


[Verso 2]
 
      G          C              G 
Ive Woken up in deserts, ive slept beneath the pines 
           Em            D                   C 
Followed rivers down the mountains crooked spine 
G         C                  G 
I got so lonesome where the tall grasses grow 
               Em        D             C 
So i Packed my bags and came home to Ontario 
 


[Refrão]
 
D            C          G 
You got some years on me, my darlin 
 G                             D             C 
But Ive worn some roads a little rough and wide 
                 D                            C         G 
And if we dont lean in close while we're all wanderin 
         Em                 C             D 
All the beauty slips right past our tired eyes 
D                               C 
It dont count the quiet or the view 
     C                          G 
No, time dont measure what is true

[Verso 3]
 
           G              C                  G 
Ive been lost in foreign cities, Ive been found in border towns 
           Em                     D                C 
Drank with saints and slept with sinners, wore my heartbreak like a crown 
G                          C                G 
 i think I've learned the meaning when the whole world's upside down 
           Em      D                 C 
I Found my way by losing everything i thought I'd found
