Intro – E, A, E x2
E A E
We rushed past totem poles and retired airplanes
A E
Caffeine and nicotine buzzing in my veins
A E
Somewhere near High River, I pulled to the side of the road
A E
So much space and sky and time spent alone
A E
You sleep peacefully in the sun
A
In the middle of Canada
E
The yellow line is pushing me on and on and on
A, E, A, E
A E
These ruined photographs from a snowy day in June
A E
And I don’t want this lonely day to end too soon
A E
We retire to quieter corners so we can hear each other talk
A E
But our silences only grow louder as we cry in the Black Dog.
A E A
You sleep peacefully in the sun in a car across Canada
E
I’m trying to find the words to make you stay
A E
I’m driven by the need to move so fast,
A
but I want to move so slow
E
The yellow line is pushing me on and on and on
B
A E A
You sleep peacefully in the sun in the middle of Canada
E
You’re starting to smile again, or so I’ve heard
A E A
I’m back in the car tonight, I’ll be there before you wake
E
The yellow line is pushing me on and on and on
A, E, A, E
A E
You sleep peacefully in the sun (x4)
A, E, A, E
