[Intro]
| Dsus2 D | Dsus4 D | A G | Em G |

[Verse 1]
Dsus2         D           Dsus4     D
Wheat like waves, Canadian plains
               A         G        Em                 G
Were an ocean wide, flowing to the sky
         Dsus2   D         Dsus4    D
With Prefab Sprout echoing out
              A       G                       Em               G
Of your 90's accord with the mismatched doors
Dsus2               D             Dsus4        D
Away from the wives for just a few days
                  A             G               Em            G
Traveling 'cross the divide my delusions ablaze
          Dsus2               D       Dsus4    D
But a homesteader's life at 45
                  A            G                         Em          G
Was just a fleeting dream, there's no way I'd survive

[Bridge]
        G                                           Dsus2  D  Dsus4 D
The winters in Saskatchewan are so cold

[Instrumental]
| A G | Em G |

[Verse 2]
        Dsus2              D            Dsus4                 D
You talked of your kid how frightened you'd been
           A                 G             Em                G
When she almost died with tears in your eyes
         Dsus2        D          Dsus4     D
But I could not pret?nd to comprehend
                        A                  G             Em         G
The d?pths of that kind of love as a childless man
                   Dsus2     D                     G           D
And there's so little time, so many miles to drive
                  A            G        Em             G
Before the endless sleep eventually arrives
         Dsus2                 D                 G                D
But I never would've thought that life was so long
                      A            G             Em        G
That we'd be growing old with stories untold

[Chorus]
                G                                            A
You were kindled by the dials on the dashboard
          G                                                    D/F#   D
Your tattoos like the stamps upon your passport
G                                                       A
Speeding like we thought we were escaping
          G                                                     D/F#   D
From everything we feared that we were breaking
      Em
By trying to hold them in our hands

[Instrumental]
| Dsus2 D | Dsus4 D | A G | Em G |
| Dsus2 D | G D | A G | Em G |

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Outro]
| Dsus2 D | G D | A G | Em G |
