[Intro]
G C x4
[Verse 1]
G
Books on Emerson books on Thoreau
Am
But all I read was maps of the road
C
And I was three thousand miles away from you
G
All the while I was twenty-two
G
What do you do, and who you are
Am
The best way for me is to drop out on tour
C
Well, you were Upstate and to go to school
G
To secure the roll with your parents
[Chorus 1]
G Am C G
And I've got a new perspective on you
G Am C G
All the good and bad that we went through
G Am C G
I know you better than you know you
B C G
'Cause I got a new perspective on you
[Interlude]
G C x4
[Verse 2]
G
I never needed much, I never liked to loom
Am
But a gesture can get me from across the room
C
The first night we talked til the sun came up
G
Transparent people melting all around us
G
You left in a plane, I left in a van
Am
We played nightclubs house-parties and auditoriums
C
I saw Germany England Italy with my band
G
I know you girl better than your new friends
[Chorus 2]
G Am C G
And I've got a new perspective on you
G Am C G
All the good and bad that we went through
G Am C G
I know you better than you know you
B C G
'Cause I got a new perspective on you
[Interlude]
G C x4
[Verse 3]
G
Ford Econdline September '93
Am
Driving 10 hours until my eyes get blurry
C
3 packs of Winstons and a bag of seeds
G
Tapes of "x" and a thermos of coffee
G
6 weeks on and 10 days off
Am
Then I go back on the road for another show
C
This is all that I've ever done
G
Girl I got nothing to fall back on
[Chorus 3]
G Am C G
And I've got a new perspective on you
G Am C G
All the good and bad that we went through
G Am C G
I know you better than you know you
B C G
'Cause I got a new perspective on you
