Pulled my jacket tight around, watched the grass turn the straw
C G Em
March came like an avalanche, and I watched it all come down

You came a long way, didn't you, just to say you're going back
C Em C C
And I'm standing by the car alone and I'm fumbling with my road map
C Em
Oh, and everything that weighs us down, and all the things we won't let go
C Em C C
When we try to throw them out to sea we learn they're heavier than we ever knew
C D Em
Oh, and darling, you will never know
C Em
C Em C C
There's not a thing to do, no no no no, to make the time go by
C Em C D Em
And I just wanna be moving on, oh and here I am, broken down on the roadside
C D Em Am C D
Oh, and darling, you will never know, and they say it's just as well, uh-huh, oh
Em C G G/F#
Go on, just take it all and throw it to the wind
Em C G G/F#
Darling, what does it take for it to come to this
Em C G G/F#
Oh, and every sweet memory brings us miles and miles
C Em
From where we wanna be
God bless the autumn breeze, finally colder than the likes of me
Cause you know I take it hard
C D C D C D Em
And then I carry it, oh, then I carry it, oh, then I carry it along
Oh, and darling, you will never know, and they say it's for the best, huh-huh, oh
Go on, just take it all and throw it to the wind
Darling, what does it take for it to come to this
Oh, and every sweet memory brings us miles and miles
Oh, and every sweet memory brings us miles and miles
Oh, and every sweet memory brings us miles and miles
From where we wanna be
