[Intro]
C Em (x6)
G
[Verse]
G D
Packed up my guitar and tape machine
Em C
Boxed up my books and my magazines
G D
I never thought it be such an easy thing
Bm Em
To write myself out of this scene
G D
And there's a long list in the back of my mind
Em C
Of my sins, mistakes, and petty crimes
G D
And though I know you're the forgiving kind
Bm Em
It's a long, hard climb
[Chorus]
C Em G
But don't you forget where I stand
C Em D
One word away is where I am
[Verse]
G D
And tell me now that you have never tried
Em C
To calm the voices, keep them satisfied
G D
And though we think we waste the tears we cried
Bm Em
It may be enough to fill this divide
G D
Sent you a postcard from a frozen land
Em C
Wrote a few lines I hoped you'd understand
G D
I never could explain how I never planned
Bm Em
For things to get so out of hand
[Chorus]
C Em G
But don't you forget where I stand
C Em D
One word away is where I am
