G C
hey , hey , carla
D G
it’s a long way to missouri
B7 Em
from this highway
Am D
east of roanoke
G C
we had a moment
D G
that felt like summer
B7 Em
now in slumber
Am D
i can see your smile

G C
we drive for miles
D G
through corporate ohio
B7 Em
rest stops in west virginia
Am D
traffic in washington dc

G
but of all the scenes that i see
F
played out this window to the left of me
Em Cm
the thought of you it shines
G C C/B Am D G
the band plays on , i keep the time

G C
we play in the night time
D G
awake before sunrise
B7 Em
wipe the sleep from my eyes
Am D
coffee my best friend
G C
you dance between classes
D G
complete difficult assignments
B7 Em
wonder where the time went
Am D
out drinking with your friends

G C
we see a lot of beauty
D G
some becomes ordinary
B7 Em
mountains , and canyons , and prairies
Am D
sunset over chesapeake bay
G C
dear , dear carla
D G
it’s only that i’m askin’
B7 Em
make time more easy for the passin’
Am D
if i knew i would see you again

G
of all the beauty that i see
F
out this window to the left of me
Em Cm
the thought of you it shines
G C C/B Am D G
the band plays on , i keep the time

the time is marked , between the lines
C C/B Am D G
