Intro
C#
[Verse 1]
C# A#m
Down the streets the dogs are barkin'
F# C#
And the day is a-gettin' dark
C# A#m
As the night comes in a-fallin
F# G#
The dogs'll lose their bark
C# A#m
And the silent night will shatter
F# C#
From the sounds inside my mind
C# A#m
For I'm one too many mornings
F# G# C#
And a thousand miles behind
[Verse 2]
C# A#m
From the crossroads of my doorstep,
F# C#
My eyes they start to fade,
C# A#m
As I turn my head back to the room
F# G#
Where my love and I have laid.
C# A#m
An' I gaze back to the street,
F# C#
The sidewalk and the sign,
C# A#m
And I'm one too many mornings
F# G# C#
An' a thousand miles behind.
[Verse 3]
C# A#m
It's a restless hungry feeling
F# C#
That don't mean no one no good,
C# A#m
When ev'rything I'm a-sayin'
F# G#
You can say it just as good.
C# A#m
You're right from your side,
F# C#
I'm right from mine.
C# A#m
We're both just too many mornings
F# G# C#
An' a thousand miles behind.
