We Go Way Back

Intro: D D G G

Verse 1:
D
 Saw the world from up close
                      G
It ain't much to look at

Compared to you and your work clothes
                           D
Waving hello from the driveway

I can't make myself whole
                                    G
Most days, I'd be lucky just to get half

But you've seen me in places so low
                                 D
You can recognise when it's real bad
               G
When it's real bad

Verse 2:
D
  Used to hate the silence
                                    G
Used to make me think about the old days

And all the miles in my legs
                                 D
The late flights and missed birthdays

Out here I can hear your heartbeat
                               G
I can hear the start of a long sigh

I can hear the song of the robin

Pre-chorus:
                                 Bm7
I haven't wrote my own in a long time
              G
And it's just fine

Chorus:
       D               Gbm7
'Cause I don't need my name back
         G
Throw my notebook in the basement
      D
Oh, I love you
            Gbm7            G
And I can't fake that for a moment
G
We go way back
      Bm  A
We go way back
D                    Gbm7
Tell me I don't need options
            G
That I have substance

That I'm important
        D                Gbm7
If it's only for letting dogs out
         G
Sweeping porches

To make me nothing
        Bm   A    G
Take me way  back
      Bm   A
We go way  back

Interlude: D Dsus2 G

Verse 3:
D
 The little pebble marks on your car door
                                 G
The sound of your feet on the gravel

Said I'm always tryna run from what I'm known for
                                  D
Baby, that's the thing about a shadow

I've never seen the rain fall so hard
                              G
Honey, we're north of nowhere now

Heaven is a drink in the backyard

Pre-chorus:
                            Bm7
As we watch the storm touch down
                 G
And it's pouring out

Chorus:
    D               Gbm7
And I don't need my name back
         G
Throw my notebook in the basement
      D
Oh, I love you
            Gbm7            G
And I can't fake that for a moment
G
We go way back
      Bm  A
We go way back
D                    Gbm7
Tell me I don't need options
            G
That I have substance

That I'm important
        D                Gbm7
If it's only for letting dogs out
         G
Sweeping porches

Well make me nothing
        Bm   A    G
Take me way  back
      Bm   A    G
We go way  back

Outro:
Bm       A        G
 Take me way, way back
Bm     A    G
 We go way  back
     Bm   A   G
