[B] [F#m]
[E] [B] [E] [F#m]
[E] He [B] looks small in your cold, one [F#m] head upon the window.
So long [B] now, he's been lost and floored.
[F#m] [B] No snow on the road, we've been [F#m] lucky to look like we [A] would be.
[E] Well [B] past Orleans,
[F#m] [B] and past Montmarnie,
They're all giving [F#m] way to a [B] river, [A] the frozen St.
[B] Lawrence white and blue.
We went out on the ice, and I turned back [A] to hear a figure,
Distant and small [B] in the long view.
[A] Was it a look in your eye?
I [B] wasn't sure.
[A] The way it is and the way it could [B] be, both are wrong.
We got [A] back in the car.
[E] [B] [F#m]
[E] You [B] always tell me the truth, even when it hurts [F#m] me, it hurts [B] you.
[A] Could you go a little [Em] easy, would [B] it kill you?
Living out the dream, out on the road for a couple [A] weeks.
[E] So intimate with [B] all that we had wanted, [A] all that we hoped for, and [B] all that we dreamed.
[E] The way it is and the way it could be.
[F#m] [A]
[B] [F#m] How long has it been?
[E] I'm gonna [B] hold on to nothing [A] much.
A little kindness, a little grace, [E] some days, I get so close [B] but I don't really [A] touch.
What [E] I get, [B] what I [A] need, the [E] way it is and the way it could [B] be.
[F#m]
[E] [B] Three round dogs came [E] out running [B] across the [A] highway, planting [E] and low [B] to the ground.
And then they were gone for [F#m] a moment, I'd written them down, I closed [E] and opened my eyes.
[A] They were running up the [E] hill on the other [B] side.
[A] The way it is and the way [B] it could be, [F#m] both are wrong.
[E] [B] [F#m] [B] [A]
[B] [N]
