Two Chords

I’m staring beneath at an empty page
And I’m thinking about y’all three thousand km away
I’m at a lost for words and I could not find
But these two chords that always make me cry

I’m staring beneath at my feet on an open road
This guitar has brought me this far and one day it’ll take me home
Hard travelin’ wouldn’t come so easy if it weren’t for the ties
And these two chords that always make me cry

I’m staring at myself in a truck stop bathroom mirror
I’ve traded my old collection for a new set of fears
There’s always changing unlike
The sound of these two lonesome chords that always make me cry

I’m staring at my fingertips
And the calluses they’ve grown
I could wrap them around my heart
And press back to this fret board

And always without failure
They’d repeat all the while
The sound of these two lonesome chords…

I’m staring at a photograph
Darling, I miss you so
My eyes are locked upon a lady across from me
And I don’t even know

Why she reminds me of you
You don’t even look alike
It must be the power of these two lonesome chords
That always make me cry

I’m staring at my scars
Tattooed upon my skin;
The permanence of who I am
And who I have been

They’re never fading unlike
The sound of these two lonesome chords
that always make me cry
