Bm A F#m Bm

[Verse 1]
Bm            A               F#m
Caroline we met, in somber silence
                Bm
Oh, but it was over my head at the time
Bm            A                    F#m
Illinois so cold, at this time of year
               Bm
But it’s your home forever

Bm A F#m Bm

[Verse 2]
Bm               A                  F#m
All along this road, I feel your presence
                     Bm
Oh I feel all the repercussions moving on
Bm               A                 F#m
In my home you live, in all the lessons
           Bm
Of a man unbroken

[Pre-Chorus]
          Bm          F#m
And I got no way to convey
                 A
What I’m going through

[Chorus]
Bm         A                F#m
I can’t explain, I can’t explain
         Bm
All the ways that I need you
Bm        A                F#m
I can’t explain, I can’t explain
    Bm
Oh, no

[Verse 2]
Bm A                 F#m
1981, a shift in the tone
                         Bm
A fractured line in the side, near invisible
Bm                A                   F#m
Signifies your touch, and lingers with us
                  Bm
It’s all we have lost and learned from

[Pre-Chorus]
    Bm              F#m
And I got no way to convey
                 A
What I’m going through

[Chorus]
Bm         A                F#m
I can’t explain, I can’t explain
         Bm
All the ways that I need you
Bm        A                F#m
I can’t explain, I can’t explain
    Bm
Oh, no
Bm         A                F#m
I can’t explain, I can’t explain
         Bm
All the ways that I need you
Bm        A                F#m
I can’t explain, I can’t explain
    Bm
Oh, no

Bm A x2

      Bm F#m
As I fade
     Bm F#m
As I fade,
         Bm F#m
Will you save me
      Bm F#m
As I fade
      Bm F#m
As I fade,
          Bm F#m
Will you save me

[Chorus]
Bm       A                  F#m
I can’t explain, I can’t explain
         Bm
All the ways that I need you
Bm       A                 F#m
I can’t explain, I can’t explain
Bm       A                  F#m
I can’t explain, I can’t explain
         Bm
All the ways that I need you
Bm       A                 F#m
I can’t explain, I can’t explain
