[Intro]
Em D C  Em D C

[Verse 1]
Em  D
Out here when you light
         C            Em
a smoke on the porch
        D              C
You can hear the paper burning
Em  D                C
The moon is the only light
       Em
In the silence you can
          D      C
hear it turning

[Verse 2]
Em   D              C
Down over the ridge by
the highway
                Em
You'll hear the cars,
       D           C
 they come and fade
Em        D
It's like that out here
        C
You can hear things for
           Em    D
miles else, and miles
       C  Em D C  Em D C
 away

[Verse 3]
Em         D             C
Out here I make the only human
lights
Em       D          C
I am the only human sound
Em      D
It's my privilige to lie
  C
awake at night
                         Em
And think of what I have lost,
           D                 C
and hope for what might be found

[Verse 4]
Em  D                    C
Out here you'll find out who
 your friends are
         Em
When the darkness comes and
       D       C
 kills the day
Em         D             C
There's an ache in every corner
 of the heart
             Em             D   C
For the ones who are miles away

[Solo]
Em D C  Em D C
Em D C  Em D C

[Verse 5]
Em  D
Out here there's always
            C
work to be done
Em    D            C
And I do what I can
Em   D         C
Came down to a choice
        Em    D    C
Love or run...I ran
