Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: B
B E B F# B E B F#
B E B F#
B E B F#
B E
Behind the wheel against the road
F# B
Next to you is central coast
E F#
The central thought within my mind
C#m F#
Is how to stay within these lines, but still be free
B E B F#m B
Beneath the ground the giants sleep and maybe we're just in their dreams
E B
The setting sun with every turn
F#
Above the ground the oak trees burn
F# B E
And they weep, for rain
B F# B E
And for this endless conversation
B F# B E B
Instigated by the stars
E B
A pocket knife and no guitar
F# B
Coffee cup a deck of cards
E B
Corre corre dashboard feet
F# B
Flashlight children by the streem
B E
A box of books
B
A book of rocks
F#
One for the birds
B
One for the knots
E B F# C#m
That I will learn how to tie around this day to keep my life
F# B E B
From sliding away
F# B E
From this endless conversation
B F# B E
Instigated by the stars
B F# B
A little wood to keep it burning
E B F# E
Facinated by it all
B E B
B E B F# B
E B
The first awake will stoke the coals
F# B
The early morning river rose
E B
The last one in, the swing will break
F# C#m F#
Stones will stack, the kids will make those lines
B E B
Rocks are boxing by the creek
F# B
Again the lines begin to speak
E B F#
Words are broken smoke signals will lead us into the light
B E B
Into it all and
F# B E
Always endless conversation
B F# B E
Implicated by the stars
B F# B
A little wood to keep it burning
E B F# E
Facinated by it all
B
And always

The first awake will stoke the coals
B F#
The early morning river rolls
B E
The last one in the swing will break

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
