D                                    E
This city's not the same without you but I proud here on my own
D                                                  E
Below this winter sky I ain't counting time but it sure is passing slow
D                                          E
Been sitting up at the overlook the view's best now it's cold
D                                           E
Coal loads go east and empties west and the river's been mighty low

Prechorus
A                             Bm         A
Yeah the mayor's out spinning his on top again
              A               Bm                      A
And the river front's gone to those with most cash in hand

CHORUS
G                 A                  D             G
Oh I know I think too much and spend too much time alone
G                           A                    Bm
But that don't mean I don't miss you when you're gone
           G                  A                      D                    G
Aside from promises and a few friends I made I don't think I'll stay here long
G           A                          Bm             
With ease I leave before my roots have grown

VERSE (SAME PATTERN D&E) 
D                                          E
I wish I could slow you down and shake you sometimes instead I'll listen more
D                                                                     E
To the same old thoughts I've heard a thousand times and hope to hear one thousand more
             D                               E
Like how the city of the future plan blindly preys on the working poor
    D                                        E
All collared blue with eyes bloodshot red on payment plans to keep warm

PDC HORUS
A                            Bm                                 A
Yeah I've learned to stay as far and as close as I can possibly understand
      A                  Bm                      A
But sometimes it gets so heavy lord I can't

CHORUS
G                 A                  D             G
Oh I know I think too much and spend too much time alone
G                           A                    Bm
But that don't mean I don't miss you when you're gone
           G                  A                      D                    G
Aside from promises and a few friends I made I don't think I'll stay here long
G           A                          Bm             
With ease I leave before my roots have grown
            A
But I don't know

BRIDGE
A D E D E

PDC HORUS
A                        Bm                  A
I need you more that you need me in too many ways
A                 Bm                    A
And I can't stand dependence so I can't stay

CHORUS
G                 A                  D             G
Oh I know I think too much and spend too much time alone
G                           A                    Bm
But that don't mean I don't miss you when you're gone
           G                  A                      D                    G
Aside from promises and a few friends I made I don't think I'll stay here long
G           A                          Bm             
With ease I leave before my roots have grown
G          A                     Bm
I'll be gone before you are even home
