Verse 1
G                     Bm                  A 
  Settle in cause the road going west got drowned 
                                G 
A river is running through this town 
G                    Bm                                  A 
  It picks me up that  for a few more days you'll stick around 
                     G             D 
Cause alone I'm sick get sad quick hate no sound 
 
Chorus 1
G                          D 
  We're inside while their cars are stalling 
Bm                    D         A       G 
  drying out with the raindrops falling down 
      D                    A 
And tonight tonight you've opened 
      Bm 
up my world so thank you 
G                      D 
  Smiling hard like my face was frozen 
Bm                    D                 A    G 
  I figure out what I can't when you're not around 
      D                    A            Bm 
And tonight tonight you've opened up my world so thank you

Verse 2
G                         Bm                    A 
  I Told you once that if life got too grim I'd coast 
                       G 
To Common Bay become a ghost 
G                        Bm                                   A 
  I'd tie some weights on  and think about what I'd loved the most 
                      G                       D 
You in Minnesota air alone and standing there I've been so close 
 
Chorus 2
G                          D 
  We're inside while their cars are stalling 
Bm                    D         A       G 
  drying out with the raindrops falling down 
      D                    A 
And tonight tonight you've opened 
      Bm 
up my world so thank you 
G                      D 
  Smiling hard like my face was frozen 
Bm                    D                 A    G 
  I figure out what I can't when you're not around 
      D                    A            Bm 
And tonight tonight you've opened up my world so thank you 
 
Bridge
G                  A                     Bm 
  In the midst of enough how'd I end up starving? 
D        A       G      A                     Bm  D A 
  It's a foreign country that never felt like home 
G                    A                    Bm 
  Took a storm and a drink washing out pretense 
                  D             A    G 
puddled up on the floor soaking up defense 
                         A 
Squinting eyes makes the world make 
           Bm        D    A 
a bit more sense you know?
