INTRO

G/C (x4)

VERSE (PM):

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

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


CHORUS

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


VERSE

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

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

CHORUS

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

VERSE

G
Ford Econoline sept 93
Am
Driving 10 hours till my eyes get blurry
  C
3 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
     Am
Then 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


CHORUS (w/o guitars until last line):

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