[Intro]
D G A 4X
D G A
Stepped off the train, looked into the sky
D G A
It was deepening blue as the moon was rising
D G A
Had time to kill, and a letter to send her
D G A D G A
One lonely boy on my first night in Denver
D G A
I hit the sidewalks and kept moving
D G A
Through late night streets, filled with music
D G A
From dusk til dawn, tryin to forget her
D G A D
A man with a mission on my first night in Denver
G A Bm
This heartbreak might take awhile for me to shake
D A D
But I?ve got forever
G A Bm
The world spins, Amen, the sun comes up again
G Em Em/F# G
It was my turn, a lesson I learned
A D
On my first night in Denver
D G A
In a diner, I met a soldier
D G A
Just left his wife and kids back in Boulder
D G A
The facts of life for a young defender
D G A D
He showed me their pictures on my first night in Denver
G A Bm
This heartbreak might take awhile for me to shake
D A D
But I?ve got forever
G A Bm
The world spins, Amen, the sun comes up again
G Em Em/F# G
It was my turn, a lesson I learned
A D G A D G A
On my first night in Denver
D G A
Back on the train, headed westbound
D G A
To new horizons, with what I know now
D G A
The sun came up, I sent the letter
D G A D
And wished her a good life, from my first night in Denver
G A Bm
This heartbreak might take awhile for me to shake
D A D
But I?ve got forever
G A Bm
The world spins, Amen, the sun comes up again
G Em Em/F# G
It was my turn, a lesson I learned
A D
On my first night in Denver
