+i leave the house as soon as it gets light outside
+C               G
+like a prisoner breaking out of jail
+G                            A7
+and i steal down to business 15-501
+C                   G
+like i had a bounty hunter on my tail
+              D
+and somebody stops to pick me up
+        C
+but he drops me off just down the block
+                  G      Em
+and along the highway
+           C             G
+where the empty spirits breed
+           D              G
+wild sage growing in the weeds
+walk down the soft shoulder and i count my steps
+headed vaguely eastward, sun in my eyes
+and i lose my footing and i skin my hands breaking my fall
+and i laugh to myself and look up at the skies
+and then i think i hear angels in my ears
+like marbles being thrown against a mirror
+and along the highway
+where unlucky stray dogs bleed
+wild sage growing in the weeds
+F        C                   G            F        C
+and somedays i don't miss my family
+                G       F
+and somedays i do
+     C                     G                 Em
+somedays i think i'd feel better if i tried harder
+C                          D7
+most days i know it's not true
+i lay down right where i felt cold grass in my face
+and i hear the traffic like the rhythm of the tides
+and i stare at the scrape on the heel of my hand
+til it doesn't sting so much and until the blood's dried
+and when somebody asks if i'm ok
+i don't know what to say
+and along the highway
+from cast off innumerable seeds
+wild sage growing in the weeds
