Your love is my rest
written by John Hiatt
[Intro]
E C#m G#m B
E C#m G#m B
[Verse]
E C#m G#m B
These are the words that cry out of me in the night
E C#m G#m G#
Like a buffalo herd from a shotgun blast scattered in flight
[Pre-Chorus]
A
I got a one track mind
E
Going down a one train line
B
Living on dreams half the time
E E7
Going west
[Chorus]
A
I gotta pick up speed
E
Just to get what I need
B
The end of the line guaranteed
E B
Your love is my rest
[Verse]
E C#m G#m B
The coal catches fire and Im down the wire in a flash ---
E C#m G#m G#
That big old smokestack is belching out black smoke and ash
[Pre-Chorus]
A
So sad to think of
E
Hurting the one you love
B
But surely thats what leaving does
E E7
You would know best
[Chorus]
A
I gotta pick up speed
E
Just to get what I need
B
The end of the line guaranteed
E
Your love is my rest
B E
Your love is my rest
[Solo]
E C#m G#m B
E C#m G#m G#
A E B E E7
A E B E B
[Verse]
E C#m G#m B
I stand in the land of Custers last stand and I grin ---
E C#m G#m G#
So this is where old yellow-hairs ghost-dance begins
[Pre-Chorus]
A
I got the blood on my hands
E
Cant even live where I stand
B
Im just a travelling man
E E7
Cursed or blessed
[Chorus]
A
I gotta pick up speed
E
Just to get what I need
B
The end of the line guaranteed
E B
Your love is my rest
[Chorus]
A
I gotta pick up speed
E
Just to get what I need
B
The end of the line guaranteed
E B
Your love is my rest
[Outro]
E
Your love is my rest
B E
Your love is my rest
