G Em Bm G Em Bm
On the way back home, how long did it seem?
G Em Bm G Em Bm
Three days or four, snow glazed all the trees
G Em Bm C
My mother held me like a motorcycle
Am Em
So warm, we sang melody
C G
Oh-Ahhh
G Em Bm G Em Bm
Campin' out all night, slow moves with the light
G Em Bm
Of all the things which you've seen
C
Was the motorcycle
Am Em
So warm, you sang melody
C G
Oh-Ahhh
G C G
At that moment I'd know
G D G
Just how close we could be
G C G
And though it always was mine
G D G
It always seemed new to me
G C G
Ten thousand colors in all
G D G
Eyes like caves on my cheeks
G C G
To all the people I've loved
G D G
Don't think poor of me
G C G
It was until I woke up
G C D G
That I could hold down a joke or a job or a dream
G C D G
But then all three are one in the same
G C D G
Yeah, all then are one in the same
G C D G
And all then are one in the same
