C#m7
Somethin's in the air tonight
E
The sky's alive with a burnin' light
        Asus2                               E
You can mark my words, somethin's 'bout to break
      C#m7
And I found myself in a bitter fight
            E
While I've held your hand through the darkest night
           Asus2
Don't know where your comin' from, but your comin'
  E
soon

               F#m                 Asus2
To a kid from Oregon by way of California
               F#m                          Asus2
All of this is more than I've ever known or seen

Chorus:
                   E                F#m
Come on and we'll sing like we were free
               Asus2                         E
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by
us
                    E           F#m
Come on and we'll try one last time
                Asus2                  E
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you
     F#m                                  E
And here we go, there's nothin' left to choose
     F#m                                  E
And here we go, there's nothin' left to lose

So I packed my car and I headed east
Where I felt your fire and a sweet release
There's a fire in these hills, that's coming now
And I don't know much but I found you here
And I cannot wait another year
Don't know where you're coming from, but you're
coming soon

To a kid from Oregon by way of California
All of this is more than I've ever known or seen

Chorus

F#m                                 Asus2
I can still hear the trains out my window
F#m                            Asus2
From Hobart Street to here in Nashville
F#m                                Asus2
I can still smell the pomegranates grow
F#m                            Asus2
And I don't know how hard this wind will blow
Or where we'll go

Come on and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal, down watch the world around
fly by us
Come on and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you - x2

Come on and we'll sing like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around
fly by us
And here we go there's nothin' left to choose
And here we go there's nothin' left to  lose
