D    C    G


[Verse]

G               D          C        D
When the countryside was a gift
D          C      G
Wrapped in silver ribbon
G       D            C         D
Highway tied up in a bow
D      C        G
By the thumb of God

D               C               G      C      
Felt like a thief when I was in it
C           D                 G
Felt like a beggar when I was not


[Verse 2]

G          D                  C          D
These city streets of endless failures
D     C                    G
The same with endless victory
G         D            C             G
I started dreaming the moment that I hit them
G              D           C        D
Into a slumber I could not stop

D               C                G      C
Felt like a thief when I was in ‘em
C           D                 G      D
Felt like a beggar when I was not


[Bridge]

C                 G               C
In the light of a blessing
C    D              G            C 
I am humbled in the glow
C      D           G            C
Asking my same old questions
C        D               G
Learning I don’t need to know

G    D     C     Em     C     D     G


[Verse 3]

G             D                C
Your skin was like the softest ocean
C        D               G
Waves of gentle lace and rhythm
 G         D                 C                        G
I left so many times when I should have stayed there swimming
G                        C       D                 
Oh but our time together I never forgot

C           D                G           C
Felt like a thief when I was with you
C           D                 G         D
Felt like a beggar when I was not
D           C                G         C
Feel like a thief when I am with you
C           D                G 
Feel like a beggar when I am not 


[Outro]

D    Am    Em    C    D    G
