One Too Many Mornings

G                           Em
Down the street the dogs are barkin’ 
        C                G
And the day is a-gettin’ dark, 
 G                      Em
As the night comes in a-fallin’, 
    C                  D
The dogs’ll lose their bark, 
        G                 Em
An’ the silent night will shatter, 
         C                G
From the sounds inside my mind, 
 G                   Em
For I’m one too many mornings, 
      C        D       G
And a thousand miles behind. 
 
 G                        Em
From the crossroads of my doorstep, 
   C                  G
My eyes they start to fade, 
 G                     Em
As I turn my head back to the room, 
      C                  D
Where my love and I have laid, 
      G                Em
An’ I gaze back to the street, 
    C                G
The sidewalk and the sign, 
 G                   Em
And I’m one too many mornings, 
      C        D       G
An’ a thousand miles behind. 
 
 G                     Em
It’s a restless hungry feeling, 
           C              G
That don’t mean no one no good, 
 G                    Em
When ev’rything I’m a-sayin’, 
    C                  D
You can say it just as good. 
 G                Em
You’re right from your side, 
    C          G
I’m right from mine, 
 G                           Em 
We’re both just one too many mornings, 
      C        D       G
An’ a thousand miles behind.
