+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
+Till it doesn't sting so much and until the blood's dried
+And when somebody asks if I'm okay
+I don't know what to say
+And along the highway
+From cast off innumerable seeds
+Wild sage growing in the weeds
