verse 1
C
Lying here in bed
Em
With things we never said
C Em
You?re always the first to sleep
C
I whisper my goodbye
Em
To all the happy lights
Am G
Wrapped around our ugly tree
Pre-Chorus
F
Come sunrise
Dm
Your soft eyes
C Em
Will frown at my footprints in the snow
F
Come New Year
Dm
You?ll know dear
F G
I led you down a short line
C
And I'm so sorry Caroline
G F
The more you became my hope
Em G
The more I was made to let you go
Am G F
We lost our fight for time
G C
And I'm so sorry Caroline
G F
I?ll try not to wake the house
Em G
I wish I could stay and hold you now
Am G F
We lost our fight for time
Dm
For life
F G
And some things that never came true
C
For me and you

This small town

This long ride
