*I put a "No Chord" in this section because that's what he does in
concert/acoustic.
Feel free to implant chords here, but it somewhat adds a "dramatic" or "artistic"
effect.

So in the meantime
You'll be resting on my mind
For the last time
I will leave myself behind
In the evening
Raise a glass and tell some lies
Make a pass, impress another girl,
She was easy on the eyes
She was easy
And so was I
My reflection
In the window when I ride for Chicago
She is on the other side
Take a picture
Write a letter to my love
Well I was almost honest
I was almost honest
Been a long time
Since I've lay with you in bed
Conversations, full of words you never said
I got your message
But I didn't hear the ringing bell
I gave into the loneliness
But I didn't give them nothing else
Which direction
Down this highway that I ride to Atlanta
She is on the other side
Take a picture
Write a letter to my love
I was almost honest
Well, I was almost honest
Yeah, Oh oh oh Hmmmmm
My reflection
In the window when I ride
Could not save us
But I swear to God I tried
Take a picture
Write a letter to my love
I was almost honest
But I was almost honest
Cause I was almost honest
