First Aid Kit - Wild Horses II

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G
“Where are we going?”
G
Something you asked me
G G
While time was flowing like a river, and we
C
We had it coming
C
We saw the sunsets
G
We saw the night turn
G
It was a safe bet
D
Mm
C
Mm-mm-mm-mm
G
Mm-mm-mm

[Verse 2]
G G
How can a lifetime fit in an hour?
G
The sky, it opened up
G
Then came the showers
C C
and we stopped at some motel with paper-thin walls
G G
And floral linens and a bible in the drawer
D
Mm-mm-mm-mm
C
Mm-mm-mm-mm
G
Mm-mm-mm

[Chorus]
D C G
We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
D C G
You prefer the Rolling Stones’ and I like Gram’s

[Verse 3]
G
We passed a canyon
G
We passed a fire brigade

Headed up the mountains
G C
They set the woods ablaze and then we got hungry
C
Stopped at a diner
G
You flirted with the waitress
G
And I didn’t even care
D
Mm-mm-mm-mm
C
Mm-mm-mm-mm
G
Mm-mm-mm

[Verse 4]
G G
Where do you go to when you look past me?
G
Do you see yourself
G
Miserable and free?
C
Such a strange notion
C
To see you clearly
G G
When love’s shadow stood up and left the room
D
Mm-mm-mm-mm
C
Mm-mm-mm-mm
G
Mm-mm-mm

[Chorus]
D C G
We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
D C G
You prefer the Rolling Stones’ and I like Gram’s

[Verse 5]
G
“I hate who we’ve become”
G
Spoken like an absolute
G
Just listened to you speak
G
There was nothing to dispute
C
I guess something shifted
C
I guess something died
G
Thought I couldn’t change it
G
So I didn’t even try
D
Mm-mm-mm-mm
C
Mm-mm-mm-mm
G
Mm-mm-mm

[Chorus]
D C G
We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
D C G
You prefer the Rolling Stones’ and I like Gram’s
D C G
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands
D C G
You prefer the Rolling Stones’, but I like Gram’s
