instrumental: G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C#
G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C# x2
Is it something in the water
That makes you sound like that
Or is it all the cornbread
You’ve had in your time
G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C# x2
Pull me a little bit closer
I want to hold your hand
I won’t mind if this lasts forever
Just you and I
D#, C#, G# x4
And when you wake in the morning
I’ll be there
And if you wake in the evening
I'll be there too
When i’m not beside you
I’m always thinking of you this way
When i’m not beside you
I’m only a phone call away
Instrumental: G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C#
G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C# x2
Is it something in your walking
That makes you look like that
Or your dreams and lost inhibitions
That caught my eye
G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C# x2
Show me what we’re all made of
I want to know my dear
I won’t mind if we talk all night
Just you and I
D#, C#, G# x4
And when you wake in the morning
I’ll be there
And if you wake in the evening
I’ll be there too
When i’m not beside you
I’m always thinking of you this way
When i’m not beside you
I’m only a phone call away
Instrumental: G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C#
G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C# x2
Is it something in the water
That makes you sound like that
Or is it all the cornbread
You’ve had in your time

D#, F A#
I remember growing up
D#, F A#
painting walls and skimming rocks
D#, F, A#, Gm, D#, F, D# F
climbing fences and broken trees, behind the houses where we used to meet
falling down learn how to breathe

Getting up, I’ve got grass stains on my knees
Getting tough now, like you won’t believe

Verse:
D#, F A#
Some days feel like I went astray
D#, F A#
I’m walking roads they’re only getting me half way
D#, F, A#, Gm, D#, F, D# F
I’ll turn around and seize the day, cause what I lost can’t be replaced
I never took the easy way
Chorus:
D#, Gm, Cm, F x4
Getting up, I’ve got grass stains on my knees
Getting tough now, like you won’t believe
Bridge:
D#, Cm, Gm x2
If you could see me now
I’m getting up
If you could see me now
I’m getting tough
Chorus:
D#, Gm, Cm, F x4
Getting up, I’ve got grass stains on my knees
Getting tough now, like you won’t believe

But you wanted more

“Thank you” for what you wrote
F, C x2 C, E7, F, D, C, G, C

When the rhythm of the road can be so hard

Finding a home from town to town
I’ve found where i belong

Face at the glass, looking inside,
Asking me if everything’s alright

The wind blows through open window panes
We watch the sun wash the heat away
Smoke lingers in the air, a trace of love from someone by your side,
I’d like to know what’s going through your mind?
What’s going through your mind?
I’d like to know you more than i
Ever thought i’d know
I couldn't let you pass me by
I had to know your name
The bus drives by in the rain
I look at you and don’t know what to say
Have another, to pass the time
We’re out of water but there’s plenty of wine
I’d like to know, what’s going through your mind?
What’s going through your mind?
I’d like to know you more than i
Ever thought i’d know
I couldn't let you pass me by
I had to know your name
Run empty handed through the streets
I’ll only be here for half of a week
Hop on the train with empty travel cards,
Then talk our way out, it can’t be that hard
I’d like to know, what’s going through your mind?
What’s going through your mind?
I’d like to know you more than i
Ever thought i’d know
I couldn't let you pass me by
I had to know your name
I’d like to know you more than i
Ever thought i’d know
I couldn't let you pass me by
I had to know your name
