D Wheat like waves, Canadian plains A G Em G Were an ocean wide, flowing to the sky D With Prefab Sprout echoing out A G Em G Of your 90's accord with the mismatched doors Away from the wives For just a few days Traveling 'cross the divide My delusions ablaze But a homesteader's life At 45 was just a fleeting dream There's no way I'd survive G D The winters in Saskatchewan are so cold You talked of your kid How frightened you'd been when she almost died With tears in your eyes But I could not pretend To comprehend the depths of that kind of love As a childless man And there's so little time So many miles to drive before the endless sleep Eventually arrives But I never would've thought that life was so long That we'd be growing old With stories untold Chorus: G A You were kindled by the dials on the dashboard G D/F# D Your tattoos like the stamps upon your passport G A Speeding like we thought we were escaping G D/F# D From everything we feared that we were breaking Em By trying to hold them in our hands - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  Em  F#  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
