The lyrics might be off, and I tabbed this based on this video: http://vimeo.com/24655104,
so it might vary a tiny bit from the album version.
I put two options for each chord. In the video he uses the chords on the left, I like to
use the open chords on the right (fretting 3 on the high E string is optional).
Also, for the lines "fifteen countries long" and "that was not enough" the chords refer
to the bass note that you should hit.
Capo 1
G 35540x or 32000(3)
A 50540x or x0200(3)
C 53540x or x3200(3)
Intro:
G A C C
G A C
well i keep trying to tell you that i feel like i am losing my mind
G A C
that man you always wanted i should tell you that i left him behind
G A C
when i wake up in the morning there are strangers i have yet to become
G A C
and lie down in the evening it is spinning from the things that i've done
G
you could have been right
A
i could have been wrong
C
and here i am lost on the highway
C B A E G
fifteen countries long
G
you could have been mine
A
sure it's been tough
C
i could have been holding you tightly
C B A E G
but that was not enough
A C C
G A C
and they keep trying to tell me that it's best i take some time and slow down
G A C
that fires they burn brightest in the mornings just before they burn out
G A C
and here i'm getting used to all these strangers and the things that they do
G A C
and every time you call me i am further from the man that you knew
G
you could have been right
A
i could have been wrong
C
and here i am lost on the highway
C B A E G
fifteen countries long
G
you could have been mine

i could have been holding you tightly
C B A E G
but that was not enough

that was not enough

floorboards call on you again

loneliness and some new friend
G C
i'm counting down the days that i have left

i wish you'd never think of me
G C
i honestly believe that would be best
G
you could have been right
A
i could have been wrong
C
and here i am lost on the highway
C B A E G
fifteen countries long
G
you could have been mine
A

i could have been holding you tightly
C B A E G
but that was not enough

that was not enough
C B A E G
that was not enough
