INTRO:
C     G     D     C      (play progression 2x)
1ST VERSE:
C                        G
I wish you'd never even loved me
                D                C
It makes it so hard to live without love now
C                             G
I know you're often thinking of me
             C
Sometimes I feel you so close by
               D                                    G
That it takes all my might to keep from trying to track you down
2ND VERSE:
C                      G
I can surely keep you out of sight
    D                                 C
Forget about the way you look, your smile, the way you speak
C                      G
But I've heard in the dead of night
            C
Outside my window silence breaking
          D                         G
With the solid destination of your lonesome speed
CHORUS:
                           D
I know the sound of your wheels
Dsus4 D   C    G
Yeah,   yeah, yeah
                           D
I know the sound of your wheels
Dsus4 D   C    G
Yeah,   yeah, yeah
                           D      Dsus4 D   C
I know the sound of your wheels
C     G     D     C
3RD VERSE:
C                     G
I had a handle on my sorrow
       D                             C
My composure was in order if not sufficiently intact
C                      G
But every reminiscent echo
          C
Brings a blow to chill my senses
        D                                  G
And my heart quakes and tenses 'til these moments pass
CHORUS:
                           D
I know the sound of your wheels
Dus4 D    C    G
Yeah,   yeah, yeah
                           D
I know the sound of your wheels
Dsus4 D   C    G
Yeah,   yeah, yeah
                           D      Dsus4 D   C
I know the sound of your wheels
BRIDGE:
Em           D
Every trace, every vision
C                  D
Brings my emotions to collision
Em           D
Past love's lost tokens
C                 D
Every cherished thought once spoken
Em         D        C
False hope of reconciliation, yeah
C     G     D     C      (play progression 2x)
Repeat 1st Verse
Repeat Chorus
