INTRO: C
Listen baby, I won't leave no trace
Gonna light out of here for some cleaner place
D
I'll be sitting in the backseat with my hair in my face
G
Gone fast, as freedom on good wind
CHORUS:
N.C. F ~ G
If I got my hopes too high
C F
This is no easy kind of life
~ Dm F G
Here in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
N.C. C
I can't keep from trying
No place to run for a girl like me
Whole lot of used to's and supposed to be's
D
I want to burn like August, shine like gold dust
G
Where everyday living can't hold me
CHORUS:
N.C. F ~ G
If I got my hopes too high
C F
This is no easy kind of life
~ Dm F G
See in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
N.C. C
I can't keep from trying
INSTRUMENTAL: Dm Em Dm Am Dm Em F G
N.C. C
So when I reach for you from some way down place
Don't be a stranger who won't show his face
D
I got no promise, but these words I say
G
I carry you, you carry me
CHORUS:
N.C. F ~ G
If I got my hopes too high
C F
This is no easy kind of life
~ Dm F G
See in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
C
I can't keep from trying
Dm F G
I see it in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
N.C. C
I can't keep from trying
