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