[Verse 1]
B E
Behind the wheel, against the road
B E
Next to you, the central coast
B E
The central thought within my mind
B E
Is how to stay within these lines
C#m F#
But still be free
B E
Beneath the ground the giants sleep
B F#
And maybe we're just in their dreams
B E
The setting sun with every turn
B F#
Above the ground the oak trees burn
B E B5
And they weep for rain
[Chorus]
F# B E B5
And for this endless conversation
F# B
Instigated by the stars
[Interlude]
B E B F#
[Verse 2]
B E
A pocket knife, an old guitar
B F#
Coffee cup, a deck of cards
B E
Corre corre dashboard feet
B F#
Flashlight children by the stream
B E
A box of books, a book of rocks
B F#
One for the birds, one for the knots
B E
That I will learn how to tie
B F#
Around this day, to keep my life
B E B5
From sliding away
[Chorus]
F# B E B5
From this endless conversation
F# B E B5
Instigated by the stars
F# B E B5
A little wood to keep it burning
F# E
Fascinated by it all
[Interlude]
B E B5 F#
B E B5 F#

[Verse 3]
B E
The first awake will stoke the coals
B F#
The early morning river rolls
B E
The last one in the swing will break
B F#
Stones will stack, the kids will make
Those lines
B E
Rocks a-boxing by the creek
B F#
And the lines begin to speak
B E B
Words are broken smoke signals
F#
That will lead us into the light
B E B5
Into it all and always
[Chorus]
F# B E B5
Always endless conversation
F# B E B5
Implicated by the stars
F# B E B5
A little wood to keep it burning
F# E
Fascinated by it all
B
And always
