Intro
[F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]

------------F------------C
I'm gonna settle down slowly
-------F------------C
Night falls rowdy in me yet
---------F---------------C
Haven't seen enough sunrises
------------G---------C
Don't have time to forget

Raise a glass to each moment
In a race against time
Where we bargain with the darkness
In the back of your mind

----------Am-------G------C
Shouldn't be waiting for a clear sign
-----F------C
to make a move,
Am-----------G--------C
While these bourbon bottles mark the
------------F-------C
moments that we lose
Am----------G----------C
Holding fast against the days
G------------------------F-
Like photographs that steal the words
C
away

Way down gravel back roads
Where we turned just to leave
We can wrestle with our worries
And reach for something to believe

Out on the edge of November
On the verge of a storm
When the radio and the radiator
Are still keeping you warm

Shouldn't be waiting for a clear sign to make a move,
While these bourbon bottles mark the moments that we lose
Holding fast against the days
Like photographs that steal the words away

We're thumbing our troubles
Across these five interstates
Through shady back room dealings

With no fear to test our fate
