Tom: Bm
D F#m G G G F#m D
The heat coming off of the highway
D F#m G G F#m
makes the mountains out in the distance
Em D F#m
look like they're shuddering;
G F#m
look like they lost themselves in a moment
D F#m
they hate remembering.
G F#m
I know the feeling.
[Prechorus]
Em G
I want you to know (I want you to know)
Em G
I don't feel so alone (I don't feel so alone)
[Chorus]
D G
I'm slow dancing with San Andreas,
Bm A G
scared to death I won't walk these streets again.
D G
If we fail are we collateral damage?
Bm A G
Did any of this make a difference?
D F#m G G A F#m G G
[Verse]
D G
These snow drifts haunt the Dakotas
D G
like they're ghosts crawling on the freeway
D
Looking for a resting place.
G D
Looking for roadside memorials, crosses and roses, a makeshift grave
G G F#m
A place they could fade away.
[Prechorus]
Em G
I want you to know (I want you to know)
Em G
I don't feel so alone (I don't feel so alone)
[Chorus]
D G
I'm slow dancing with San Andreas,
Bm A G
scared to death I won't walk these streets again.
D G
If we fail are we collateral damage?
Bm A G
Did any of this make a difference?
Bm G
I'm drowning in shallow water.
Bm G
I'm singing through the lump in my throat again.
D G
If I'm given a voice but I don't say a thing,
Bm A G
is that blood on my hands?
[Bridge]
Em G
My grandfather drove a city bus
A
so maybe all this wandering in circles
D
comes from somewhere in my blood.
Em G
My grandfather drove a city bus
A
so maybe all this restlessness,
G F# Bm G
this discontent, this constant search for progress is in my blood
[Chorus]
D G
I'm slow dancing with San Andreas,
Bm A G
scared to death I won't walk these streets again.
D G
If we fail are we collateral damage?
Bm A G
Did any of this make a difference?
Bm G
I'm drowning in shallow water.
Bm G
I'm singing through the lump in my throat again.
D G
If I'm given a voice but I don't say a thing,
Bm A G
is that blood on my hands?
