[Verse 1]
N.C.
We are traveling daily by the hour
N.C.
Moods clouding mountains, ideas like towers
N.C.
Choosing sides, digging in, then changing
Hearts and mind are chafing from all the rearranging (HOLD)
[Chorus]
C G
So much better that we're not together
G Am
Cause I will not lose you
C/G
Or be the blues to you

[Verse 2]
N.C.
I wish the sun would come through the walls
N.C.
And find you wherever when you call
N.C.
Give you the time and the will that you want
When you finally learn you can't always get what you haunt (HOLD)
