Tom: Dm

Am             C
I have paid my debts sometimes
F              Dm
With awkward silences
      Am                C
I was given two ears of corn and the bow
F                 Dm
I ate the one and sowed the other
    Am         C                    F    Dm
And brother, I aim straight for the road
    Am         C                    F    Dm
And brother, I aim straight for the road

[Bridge]
Am C F Dm (x4)

[verse]

        Am                    C
With my wings in one hand and lead in the other
         F          Dm
From the crossroads to the shore
         Am           C
What the horizon only tells to us ghosts
F                  Dm
Is that when it is quiet in our heart

[hook]

   Am                              
We become the diesel
   C
We become the smoke
   F                             
We become the prairie
   Dm
We become the spark
        Am               C              F Dm
And the only song coming in on the radio
Am       C           F     Dm
The only song on the radio 
        Am               C         F     Dm
And the only song comin’ in on the radio


[outro]

         Am                   C                  F                 Dm
Well you take that map of the falling sky and you lay it across your heart
         Am                      C               F     Dm
And the loneliness between us is right where you are
    Am                       C               F    Dm
The loneliness between us is right where you are
