Intro
Cm G#
D# G#/D#
She went from table manners to tunnel vision to premature farewells
D#
With the restlessness reserved for those who believe in themselves
G#/D#
She thought the world was hers so she made sure it bent beneath her will
D#
She was as new and as ancient as the solar paneled hills
Fm G#/D#
She was certain she could take this town by storm
Fm G#/D# A#
The wonder of sound and light seeking a form
D# G#/D# Fm G#/D#
But somewhere along the way the dots did not all connect the promise became regret
D# G#/D# Fm G#/D#
But somewhere along the way the dreams and the circumstance continue their tortured dance
A# Cm
Somewhere along the way

D#
She was my lullaby, personified
G#/D#
My vision in the mist
D#
But her contacts were all promoters and westside therapists
G#/D#
The 5 ams, the worried friends, the parting of her lips
D#
But I needed to witness someone wrestle with What it means to just exist
Fm G#/D#
How her only plan in life was getting lost
Fm G#/D# A#
How she took me to the edge and made me watch
D# G#/D# Fm
But somewhere along the way the running had lost its fun
G#/D#
It Happens to everyone
D# G#/D#
somewhere along the way
Fm G#/D#
Her trail became to obscure but that was her signature
A#
She would talk about letting go
Fm Cm D#
I guess I didn’t understand giving over to the current
G#/D#
That were there since time began
A# Fm
But a long drive from el Paso to the pacific ocean cliffs
Cm D# G#/D#
I finally felt connected to the continental drift
D# G#/D# Fm
Somewhere along the way I started to smile again
G#/D#
I don’t remember when
D# G#/D# Fm
Somewhere along the way Things will work out just fine
G#/D#
You will see its true this time
D# G#/D# Fm G#/D#
(over and over)
D# G#/D# Fm G#/D#
But somewhere along the way
