Intro
Dm A#
F A#/F
She went from table manners to tunnel vision to premature farewells
F
With the restlessness reserved for those who believe in themselves
A#/F
She thought the world was hers so she made sure it bent beneath her will
F
She was as new and as ancient as the solar paneled hills
Gm A#/F
She was certain she could take this town by storm
Gm A#/F C
The wonder of sound and light seeking a form
F A#/F Gm A#/F
But somewhere along the way the dots did not all connect the promise became regret
F A#/F Gm A#/F
But somewhere along the way the dreams and the circumstance continue their tortured dance
C Dm
Somewhere along the way
Dm A#
Dm A#
F
She was my lullaby, personified
A#/F
My vision in the mist
F
But her contacts were all promoters and westside therapists
A#/F
The 5 ams, the worried friends, the parting of her lips
F
But I needed to witness someone wrestle with What it means to just exist
Gm A#/F
How her only plan in life was getting lost
Gm A#/F C
How she took me to the edge and made me watch
F A#/F Gm
But somewhere along the way the running had lost its fun
A#/F
It Happens to everyone
F A#/F
somewhere along the way
Gm A#/F
Her trail became to obscure but that was her signature
C
She would talk about letting go
Gm Dm F
I guess I didn’t understand giving over to the current
A#/F
That were there since time began
C Gm
But a long drive from el Paso to the pacific ocean cliffs
Dm F A#/F
I finally felt connected to the continental drift
F A#/F Gm
Somewhere along the way I started to smile again
A#/F
I don’t remember when
F A#/F Gm
Somewhere along the way Things will work out just fine
A#/F
You will see its true this time
F A#/F Gm A#/F
(over and over)
F A#/F Gm A#/F
But somewhere along the way
