Lyrics
Verse 1
-------
I'm afraid I've become
Lost in your world
One wrong break, one wrong turn
And I'm lost forever
Each day washes over me
And now I'm slowly sinking (hold chord on slowly)
Verse 2
-------
I'm untamed I'm undone
Nerves in tethers
You're a saint you're the sun
Shine forever
If I fall again (C/D)
Should I fall again
If I fall again
Chorus
======
Shine your love on me and take me, through the backroads
Shine your life on me, walk with me, in the backroads
To the hills until we're high, high
Verse 3 (start with the riff but bar bottom 2 strings on 3rd fret)
-------
Out the door into night
And through the backroads
Like before this feels right
I'll fade to black and white
While colours paint the sunrise (C/D)
I'll cover ground for your eyes
Chorus
C slide riff
Chorus again with just high
Lift this from my shoulders
Guess this dream is over
It's not worth the taking
It's not making me feel high
Out
---
I'm not sane I'm in love
