1. Playin' easy somewhere, shade across my mind,

        D

    thoughts that pass I cannot catch, I reach for you and find

                        C

    that I have learned how not to get burned now.

                          D

    Wind in the tree blows, even the sea knows,

                        C

    that I have learned how, think I can see now,

                                 D

    lookin' through dreams is not what it seems.

 

               D

2. They handed me the bottle and said drink it 'til it's gone,

            D

    but now that it's half empty I'm not sure I can go on,

                            C

    thought I had learned how not to get burned now.

                          D

    Wind in the tree blows, even the sea knows

                        C

    that I have learned how, think I can see now,

                                D

    lookin' through dreams.

    rollin' and I can't stop, it's drivin' me out of my mind.

                 Dm

    To the truck stop, to the plane hop,

                                            C

    to the boat dock and I'm so close,
