Saving Grace by Tom Petty
Saving Grace
intro: E
E
I™m passing sleeping cities
Fading by degrees
Not believing all I see to be so
E
I™m fly™in over backyards
Country homes and ranches
Watching life between the branches below
A
And it™s hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
E
Don™t you baby?
G
You keep running for another place
D E E
To find that saving grace
E
I™m moving on alone
over ground that no one owns
Past statues that atone for my sins
There™s a guard on every door
And a drink on every floor
Overflowing with a thousand amens
A
And it™s hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
E
Don™t you baby?
G
You keep running for another place
D E
To find that saving grace
E
Don™t you baby?
Riff:
E B A G E B A G E B A G A
Oh,
E B A G E B A G E B A G A B
E
You™re rolling up the carpet
Of your fathers two-room mansion
No headroom for expansion no more
And there™s a corner of the floor
They™re telling you is yours
You™re confident but not really sure
A
And it™s hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
E
Don™t you baby?
G
You keep running for another place
D E E
To find that saving grace
Don™t you baby?
G
You keep running for another place
D E E
To find that saving grace
Don™t you baby?
E B A G E B A G E B A G E¦¦.
Every E chord is played with hand muffled.
All others are played with easy strum.

I™m passing sleeping cities; fading by degrees.
Not believing all I see to be so.
I™m flyin' over backyards; country homes and ranches.
Watching life between the branches below.
