-INTRO-

E2  Am9/E  E2  Am9/E





-VERSE 1-

E2           Am9/E                E2           Am9/E

SO MANY MILES BEHIND, STILL I DRIVE, PEDAL DOWN

E2               Am9/E                       E2  Am9/E

OFF THE MAP HOURS BACK, IT'S BENEATH THE SEAT, I THINK

E2          Am9/E                              E2             Am9/E

WITH TWO PENNIES AND A MATCH AND SOMETHING ELSE, I CAN'T REMEMBER

E2             Am9/E                          E2             Am9/E

BUT IN THE TIME THAT IT WOULD TAKE TO FISH IT OUT, I'LL BE ANOTHER MILE GONE

C2     G          D C2

AND I FEEL SO WRONG,

G             D     C2

TRYING TO FEEL RIGHT

   G                      D            C2

IN LIGHT OF ALL THE THINGS I'VE PASSED,

        G                      D

YOU'D THINK THAT I HAVE LEARNED





-CHORUS 1-

        E       G        D        A

THIS IS NOT THE LAND WAS PROMISED ME

E       G        D        A

EVEN AS FAR AS MY EYES CAN SEE

    E       G           D        A

I'M SO WOUND UP LORD I CAN'T EVEN BREATH

  E            G    D        A            E G D A

I DON'T WANT WORDS, I JUST WANT SOME PEACE

          E G D A

SOME PEACE,

          E G D A E G D A

SOME PEACE





E2 Am9/E E2 Am9/E





-VERSE 2-

E2                     Am9/E

IT SEEMS I'VE MISPLACED MY FAITH,

                  E2                   Am9/E

IT'S ELEVEN-TWELVE AND NOTHING'S CHANGED

E2                          Am9/E

WELL NOTHING EXCEPT THE CHANNEL I'M AFRAID,

                   E2                 Am9/E

AND THE NUMBER THERE, NO IT'S THE SAME

E2                     Am9/E

OH THIS MUST BE THE SAVIOR OF THE MONTH,

                    E2                 Am9/E

AND WHAT I MUST HAVE, WHERE'S THE NIGHT GONE?

E2                         Am9/E

'CAUSE I'M SO TIRED AND OUT OF SHAPE,

                      E2      Am9/E

YOU'VE GOTTA GET ME UP, BUT I CAN'T GET UP TODAY

C2               G      D C2

'CAUSE IT'S BEEN SO LONG,

G               D    C2

SINCE I'VE FELT RIGHT

G                   D          C2

ALL THE ROTE, REHEARSAL, PROOF

        G                        D

YOU'D THINK THAT I'D HAVE LEARNED





-CHORUS 1-

        E       G        D        A

THIS IS NOT THE LAND WAS PROMISED ME

E       G        D        A

EVEN AS FAR AS MY EYES CAN SEE

    E       G           D        A

I'M SO WOUND UP LORD I CAN'T EVEN BREATH

  E            G    D        A            E G D A

I DON'T WANT WORDS, I JUST WANT SOME PEACE

          E G D A

SOME PEACE,

          E G D A E G D A

SOME PEACE

     D         C2        G         Bb6

BREAK ME, BREAK ME, BREAK ME, BREAK ME, BREAK ME, BREAK ME





-CHORUS 2-

        E       G        D        A

THIS IS NOT THE LAND WAS PROMISED ME

      E          G        D            A

GOTTA GET OUT OF BED, GET SOMETHING TO READ

        E       G        D      A

I GOTTA FEED MY BROTHER, NOT MY EYES

E       G         D      A

IF NOT, THEN I'LL BE ALL I DESPISE
