[Intro]
C  Em  Am  Em

[Verse 1]
C                                 Em
Left out on the road eight years ago
    Am                                                Em       
And you left too but I never really thought you would really go
    C                         Em        
And if I knew then I's really losing you
    Am                                  Em          
I'd change my ways and my mind before I lose control
            C                                     Em   
'Cause in a darkened space we watched our souls replace
   Am                               Em           
We said our goodbyes but we didn't know the shape

[Pre-Chorus]
        C        
And for years now
       Em              
I been hunting you down
          C       
Trying to find out
            Em   
Your hiding place

[Chorus]
       G    
Oh, at last!
                  F         
You're here in my arms again
                     G   
And I don't know how long
           F          
So I won't waste a bit
                  G   
The beauty of the road
                F            
Is lost in your eyes, I drift
               G   
Softly back to when
        F    
We were young

[Verse 2]
       C   
And in love
                  Em 
Oh, where does it go?
               Am                            
You spend your whole life wishing and working
                   Em             
All you get is the end of the rope
C                   
Oh, what do we know?
               Am                           
You spend your whole life searching and find
                            Em                       
The thing you're looking is what you lost so long ago

[Pre-Chorus]
        C                    Em               
And for years now, I've been hunting the sound
     C                                 
That soft breath on the back of my neck
       Em                                
Got me running, running, running, running

[Chorus]
       G    
Oh, at last!
                  F         
You're here in my arms again
                     G   
And I don't know how long
           F          
So I won't waste a bit
                  G   
The beauty of the road
                F            
Is lost in your eyes, I drift
               G   
Softly back to when
        F    
We were young

[Outro]
G N.C.
And in love
F N.C.
You're here in my arms again
G N.C.
And I don't know how long
F N.C.
So I won't waste a bit
                  G   
The beauty of the road
                F            
Is lost in your eyes, I drift
               G   
Softly back to when
        F    
We were young
       G   
And in love
           F    
Oh we were young
       G   
And in love
      F    
I was young
       G   
And in love
