PM):

[G]books of Emerson books of Thoreau
But [Am]all I read was maps of the road
I was [C]3,000 miles away from you and
[G]All the while I was 22

[G]What do you do to know who you are
The [Am]best way for me was to drop out on tour
You [C]went to upstate New York to go to school
To se[G]cure your roll with your parents

But [G]I got a [Am]new pers[C]pective of [G]you
[G]All the [Am]good and bad that [C]we went [G]through
I know you [G]better than[Am]    [C]you know [G]you
Because [Am]I got a [C]new perspective of [G]you

I [G]never needed much I never liked to loom
But a [Am]gesture can get me from across the room
The first [C]night we talked while the sun caught up
Trans[G]parent people melting around us

You [G]left on a plane I left in a van
Played [Am]nightclubs house parties and auditoriums
Saw [C]Germany and Englany with my band
I [G]know you better girl than your new friends

But [G]I got a [Am]new pers[C]pective of [G]you
[G]All the [Am]good and bad that [C]we went [G]through
I know you [G]better than[Am]    [C]you know [G]you
Because [Am]I got a [C]new perspective of [G]you

[G]Ford Econoline sept 93
[Am]Driving 10 hours till my eyes get blurry
3 [C]packs of Winstons and a bag of seeds
[G]Tapes of "X" and a thermos of coffee

[G]6 weeks on and 10 days off
Then [Am]back on the road for another show
[C]This is all I've ever done
[G]girl I'vve got nothing else to fall back on
