Wild Sage

G                                    A7            C
I leave the house as soon as it gets light outside
                G
Like a prisoner breaking out of jail
                             A7       C
And I steal down to Business 15-501
                    G
Like I had a bounty hunter on my tail
             A7
And somebody stops to pick me up
       C
But he drops me off just down the block
              G    Em           C             G
And along the highway where the empty spirits breathe
          D7             G
Wild sage growing in the weeds

G                                   A7             C
Walked down the soft shoulder and I count my steps
                          G
Heading vaguely eastward, sun in my eyes
                            A7                              C
And I lose my footing and I skin my hands, breaking my fall
                      G
And I laugh to myself and look up at the skies
                        A7
And then I think I hear angels in my ears
     C
Like marbles being thrown against a mirror
              G    Em          C                G
And along the highway, where unlucky stray dogs bleed
          D7             G
Wild sage growing in the weeds

F               C             G        F   C
And some days I don't miss my family
                G
And some days I do
F        C                     G                 Em     C
And some days I think I'd feel better if I tried harder
                          D7
Most days I know it's not true

G                              A7                   C
I lay down right where I fell, cold grass in my face
                       G
And I hear the traffic like the rhythm of the tides
                          A7
And I stare at the scrape on the heel of my hand
        C                     G
'Til it doesn't sting so much and until the blood's dried
                  D               C
And when somebody asks if I'm ok, I don't know what to say
              G    Em       C                     G
And along the highway, from cast-off, innumerable seeds
          D7             G     C   G   F   G
