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