Verse 1
A          Em 
Out on the open prairie 
    G              D 
The amber waves of grain 
A          Em 
I sat and lit my fire 
    G              D 
I saw your passing train 
A              Em 
I watched your yellow windows 
  G            D 
I couldn't see your face 
 
Chorus
A           Em         G 
I thought you'd always be 
D 
MY ZERO 
A           Em         G 
I thought you'd always be 
D 
MY ZERO 
 
Verse 2
Sitting down by the fire 
I cook my can of beans 
I draw the constellations 
I wonder what they mean 
Sit back, replay my movie 
I go through all the scenes 
 
Chorus
A           Em         G 
I thought you'd always be 
D 
MY ZERO 
A           Em         G 
I thought you'd always be 
D 
MY ZERO 
 
Verse 3
I've gone away forever 
The wrong side of the tracks 
My blood all filled with garbage 
My heart shot through with cracks 
I saw her dark hair falling 
All down her snow-white back 
 
Chorus
A           Em         G 
I thought you'd always be 
D 
MY ZERO 
A           Em         G 
I thought you'd always be 
D 
MY ZERO
