Jars Of Clay


Tom: G

                G
Don’t turn your back on me
   G
Or read in between my words
              C
I’m trying to drag this out
           G
Taking the scenic route
  Em                           D                   G
I know we could get there much faster if we wanted to
    Em                      D              G
But that isn’t what you and I came here to do


[Verse 2]
   G
No nails to untie the knots
   G
No veins left to take the shots
   C
No touch to end a fight
   G
Or letting who’s wrong be right
           Em
We’re just sitting like novels
      D                        G
We’ve picked up but never read through
Em            D                              G
You think you know my ending, I think I know yours, too
         Em               G         D                         G
You see, nowhere in these old conversations is there anything new


[Bridge]
Em             A7                D
Even though we know the sun will rise
Em           A7                   D
Every ray of light still takes us by, by surprise

[Bridge 2]
                   C
Baby, leave it all behind
            D
Miss a road sign
Em                       G
I don’t want to get home soon
          C   D                      Em
Drive the car all the way around the moon
G                  C
Baby, we could get lost
   D                     Em
We have another state to cross
         G               C         
We could find each other out
         D                     Em     G C
Tell our secrets on the scenic route
D                        Em   G
I don’t want to get home soon
C         D              Em   G  C
Drive the car around the moon
                D            Em
I don’t want to crush you or rush you
    G                       C      D           Em         G         
I’m not going faster if you want to and if you want to
C               D           Em
I don’t want to rush you or crush you
      G                     C       D Em
But I won’t go faster if you want to
G                     C       D Em
It’s not what we came here to do
               C D Em G
I just want to drive
               C D Em G
I just want to drive
