[Verse 1]
Bm A
No, I wasn't looking for a door into the morning again
Bm A
No, I wasn't thinking you would ever be more than a friend
G Cadd9 Bm F#m
The years I've seen that fell between my date of birth and yours
Em7 Cadd9 D A
Fade before the altered shore of a river changing course
[Verse 2]
Bm A
No, I didn't think that I would ever feel this way again
Bm A
No, not with a story this long and this close to the end
G Cadd9 Bm F#m
And though I try to fathom why home feels strange to me
Em7 Cadd9 D A
More and more the other shore is what I need to see
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D Cadd9 D
Minutes slip away, minutes become days
Cadd9 F#m Em7 A
Minutes to downtown, minutes to the Coast Highway
Gmaj7 F#7 Dsus2 E7
Forever on this freeway dreaming of my getaway
Em7 A Cadd9 D Cadd9 D
Don't know how I'm still in A

[Verse 3]
Bm A
Now, there may be nothing left for us but what pleasure can teach
Bm A
Now, deep in the moment with the future so out of reach
G Cadd9 Bm F#m
I see that smile and even while it breaks my heart I laugh
Em7 Cadd9 D A
That's because this heart was already torn in half
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D Cadd9 D
Minutes slip away, minutes become days
Cadd9 F#m Em7 A
Minutes to downtown, minutes to the Coast Highway
Gmaj7 F#7 Dsus2 E7
And I'm out on this freeway, still plotting my getaway
Em7 A Cadd9 D Cadd9 D
Don't know how I'm still in A
