This is called saving grace
[E] [Em] [E]
[Em] [E] [Em] [E]
[Em] [E] I'm passing sleeping [Em] cities
[E] fading by degrees not believing all I see [G] to be [E] so
[G] [E] I'm flying over [Em] backyards
[E] Country homes and [Em] ranches watching life between the branches [E] below
[A] And it's hard to [G] say
[A] Who you are these [G] days?
[A] But you run out anyway
Don't [E] you baby?
[Em] You [G] keep running for another place
[D] to find that saving grace
[E] And [Em] [E] [G] [E] I'm moving home alone
Over town and over homes
Past statues that are tome for my sin
[Em] [E] There's a guard on every door
And a drink on every floor
Overflowing with a thousand amen
And [A] it's hard to [G] say
Who [A] you are these [G] days?
But [A] you run out anyway
Don't you [E] baby?
You [G] keep running for another place [D] to find that saving [E] grace
[Em] Don't [E] you baby?
[A] [Em] [A] [G] [A]
[E] [A] [Em] [A]
[D] [B] [Em] You're rolling up the carpet of your father's two-room mansion
[E] No bedroom for expansion no more
[Em] There's a corner of the car
[E] They're telling you it's yours
And you're confident but not really sure
[Em] [A] And it's hard to [G] say
[A] Who you are these [D] days?
[A] But you run out [Em] anyway
Don't you baby?
[E]
[G] You keep running for another place
[D] to find that saving grace
[E] Don't you baby?
[G] You keep running for another place
[D] to find that saving [E] grace
Don't you baby?
Yeah!

Thank you so very very much.
Thank you very much.
We sure do appreciate it.
I've been in town for two days now.
We've been here two and a half days really.
We've heard the story of our life incorrectly over and over and over again.
[Abm] But one thing is true is that we [N] did really start out here and this is where we're from.
I thought it might be fun to play you a couple of songs like we were playing when we first started out.
We're [F] going to [E] play you a couple of things [Ab] that we were listening to way back then.
[C] This one actually was a Bo Diddley song.
[B] And uh
Yeah.
And uh
We first [Cm] learned it from a group called the Yardbirds.
