[Verse]
C             F               C
Behind the wheel against the road
         G              C
Next to you is central coast
            F                  C
The central thought within my mind
            G                Dm                  G
Is how to stay within these lines, but still be free
C            F                 C                 G                C
Beneath the ground the giants sleep and maybe we're just in their dreams
             F               C
The setting sun with every turn
          G                     Dm
Above the ground the oak trees burn
         G            C   F   C
And they weep, for rain
 
 
[Chorus]
              G             C       F    C
And for this endless conversation
      G             C    F C
Instigated by the stars
          G             C       F    C
A little wood to keep it burning
      G          Dm
Fascinated by it all
 
 
[Verse]
C         F                C
A pocket knife and no guitar
        G               C
Coffee cup a deck of cards
          F         C
Corre corre dashboard feet
            G               Dm
Flashlight children by the stream
 
C        F
A box of books
           C
A book of rocks
            G
One for the birds
            C
One for the knots
             F           C               G              Dm
That I will learn how to tie around this day to keep my life
     G           C    F C
From sliding away
 
 
[Chorus]
          G             C       F    C
From this endless conversation
      G             C    F C
Instigated by the stars
          G               C       F    C
A little wood to keep it burning
      G          Dm
Fascinated by it all

[Verse]
          F                      C
The first awake will stoke the coals
          G             C
The early morning river rose
             F                  C
The last one in, the swing will break
            G                    Dm          G
Stones will stack, the kids will make those lines
 
C            F          C
Rocks are boxing by the creek
          G               C
Again the lines begin to speak
           F              C               G                Dm
Words are broken smoke signals that will lead us into the light
         G
Into it all
           C F C
And always
 
 
[Chorus]
        G             C       F    C
Always endless conversation
     G              C   F    C
Implicated by the stars
         G                C     F    C
A little wood to keep it burning
     G            Dm
Fascinated by it all
       C
And always
