E I woke up long after dawn, 20 years had come and gone A I know when it changed for me, a day in June you came to me F# I've seen through someone else's eyes with nothing on the other side B Every motel, every town pieces scattered all around A Promises that I can't be, someone's heart that I can't keep E Days so long I couldn't speak, roads so rocky I can't sleep F# But I've seen things so beautiful all around this broken world B That pale in comparison to you Chorus: E B A E B E Caroline I'm on my way back home to you A E F# Imagine what I'm going through without B you by my side B E B A E B It's been a long, long time, oh won't E you say a prayer for me A E F# I hope you will remember me, you are B always on my mind I have seen the canyon lands Crooked lines like in your hands You'd swear the earth was split in two I wouldn't lie, I promise you That I have seen it, you will too You could not believe if not for Photographs I took for you Caroline They've built towers to the sky It hurts sometimes to watch them try They run themselves into the ground But I know you will love them And their city lights and city sounds There's beauty in the struggle Anytime I feel it get me down I see you smiling Chorus B My Caroline Now I have seen things in the sky Stars and lights and birds and I I've been rocky mountain high And told them all about you Because you are still the only thing That constantly amazes me I love the road and I've been blessed But I love you best Chorus F# B You are always on my mind, my Caroline You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA E F# B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
