CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: C
Listen baby, I won't leave no trace
Gonna light out of here for some cleaner place
I'll be[D] sitting in the backseat with my hair in my face
Gone fast, as freedom on good [G]wind
CHORUS:
N.C. F ~ G
If I got my hopes too high
This is no [C]easy kind of [F]life
~ Dm F G
Here in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
N.C. C
I can't keep from trying
No place to run for a girl like me
Whole lot of used to's and supposed to be's
I want to[D] burn like August, shine like gold dust
Where everyday living can't hold[G] me
CHORUS:
N.C. F ~ G
If I got my hopes too high
This is no [C]easy kind of [F]life
~ Dm F G
See in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
N.C. C
I can't keep from trying
INSTRUMENTAL: Dm Em Dm Am Dm Em F G
N.C. C
So when I reach for you from some way down place
Don't be a stranger who won't show his face
I[D] got no promise, but these words I say
I carry you, you carry [G]me
CHORUS:
N.C. F ~ G
If I got my hopes too high
This is no [C]easy kind of [F]life
~ Dm F G
See in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
I can't keep fr[C]om trying
I see it in my [Dm]mind's eye, [F]touch me real as [G]daytime
N.C. C
I can't keep from trying
