late for the sky chords
jackson browne *

C G F C Dm Am G F

C G
the words had all been spoken
F C
and somehow the feeling still wasn t right
Dm Am G F
and still we continued on through the night
C G
tracing our steps from the beginning
F C
until they vanished into the air
F Am G F C
trying to understand how our lives had led us there

F Am
looking hard into your eyes
G F Em
there was nobody i D ever known
G F Am G Am G
such an empty surprise to feel so alone

C G
now for me some words come easy
F C
but i know that they don t mean that much
Dm Am G F
compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
C G
you never knew what i loved in you
F C
i don t know what you loved in me
Dm Am G F C
maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping i might be

F Am G F Em
awake again i can t pretend that i know i m alone
G F Am G
and close to the end of the feeling we ve known

Dm C
how long have i been sleeping
F Am G F
how long have i been drifting alone through the night
C G
how long have i been dreaming i could make it right
C F
if i closed my eyes and tried with all my might
Am
to be the one you need

F Am G F Em
awake again i can t pretend that i know i m alone
G F Am G
and close to the end of the feeling we ve known

Dm C
how long have i been sleeping
F Am G F
how long have i been drifting alone through the night
C G
how long have i been running for that morning flight
C F
through the whispered promises and the changing light
C G
of the bed where we both lie
C A# C
late for the sky
