Dm                    F
I want to live where soul meets body
Dm                        F
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
   Dm                       F
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
     C                                Dm
And feel, feel what it’s like to be new

'Cause in my head, there's a Greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place where
They're far more suited than here

Dm          F       C           Dm
ba-dup, ba-dup bap bah, ba-dup, bap buh,
    F       C
ba-dup bap bah
        Dm          A#      C                Dm
ba-dup, ba-dup  ba-dup bap bahhh-dup buddup bah

And I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our
palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
And not one speck will remain

Chorus:
        F           C
I do believe it’s true
                Dm            F            C
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
            Dm            A#
But if the silence takes you
        C
Then I hope it takes me too
    Dm           F        C
So brown eyes I hold you near
                 Dm           F       C
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
       Dm        A#        C
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

      Dm             F
Where soul meets body.
      Dm             F
Where soul meets body.
       C
Where soul meets body

Chorus

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
