Wild Sage

G                                 
I leave the house as soon as it 
   A7            C
gets light outside
                G
Like a prisoner breaking out of jail
                             A7    
And I steal down to Business 15-501
   C

                    G
Like I had a bounty hunter on my 
tail
             A7
And somebody stops to pick me up
       C
But he drops me off just down the 
block
              G    Em         
And along the highway where the 
  C             G
empty spirits breathe
          D7             G
Wild sage growing in the weeds


[Verse 2]
G                                 
Walked down the soft shoulder and 
  A7             C
I count my steps

                          G
Heading vaguely eastward, sun in my 
eyes
                            A7     
And I lose my footing and I skin my
                         C
 hands, breaking my fall
                      G
And I laugh to myself and look up at
 the skies
                        A7
And then I think I hear angels in my
 ears
     C
Like marbles being thrown against a 
mirror
              G    Em          C 
And along the highway, where 
               G
unlucky stray dogs bleed
          D7             G
Wild sage growing in the weeds


[Bridge]
F               C             G 
And some days I don't miss my 
       F   C
family
                G
And some days I do
F        C                  
And some days I think I'd feel 
   G                 Em     C
better if I tried harder
                          D7
Most days I know it's not true


[Verse 3]
G                              A7
I lay down right where I fell, 
                   C
cold grass in my face
                       G
And I hear the traffic like the 
rhythm of the tides
                          A7
And I stare at the scrape on the 
heel of my hand
        C                     G
'Til it doesn't sting so much and 
until the blood's dried
                  D               
And when somebody asks if I'm ok, I 
C
don't know what to say
              G    Em     
And along the highway, from 
  C                     G
cast-off, innumerable seeds
          D7             G     C  
Wild sage growing in the weeds
 G   F   G
