Coyote

Intro: Em 


 
        Em                      G 
I saw a coyote running down the highway last night 
       C                              Am 
And it made me think of you, yeah, it made me think of you 
      Em                         G 
For a second as my headlights reflected in his eyes 
   C                                Am 
It looked like he'd been crying, it looked like he'd been crying 
          G                D                      Em 
Trying to find somebody or some place he's always looking for 
 

 
 C                                Am 
Pretty things that can't be held, can't return the love they felt 
       G                        D 
You're only gonna hurt yourself holding out your hand 
    C                                       Am 
But I still think of you sometimes and the flash of fear in your eyes 
  G                             D                 Am   Em 
I got too close and now I understand, now I understand 
 

 
                 Em                              G 
He said, "Hey, I know it's been a minute, hope I didn't wake you up 
      Cmaj7                         Am 
But I just got back in town and I'm over by your house 
          Em                            G 
I can't defend the way I've been or the shadows where I hide 
     Cmaj7                  Am 
But, baby, let me in and at least just let me try 
       G             D                           Em 
Try to find a way to change your mind before the light comes in" 
 

 
 C                                Am 
Pretty things that can't be held, can't return the love they felt 
       G                        D 
You're only gonna hurt yourself holding out your hand 
    C                                       Am 
But I still think of you sometimes and the flash of fear in your eyes 
  G                             D                 Am     Em 
I got too close and now I understand, now I understand

And it made me think of you, yeah, it made me think of you
