[Intro]
G  D  Em7  Cadd9
G  D  Em7  Cadd9
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                 D
I knew you before we met
Em7                           Cadd9
We don't need all the answers yet
G                            D
I'm sure time will change me some
Em7                       Cadd9
You see what I could become
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                      D
So much left to figure out
Em7                   Cadd9
I never took the easy route
G                        D
I was born with my boots on
Em7                      Cadd9     G Am7
You take 'em off me when I'm gone?
 
 
[Chorus]
                    C
I love you like the morning loves the afternoon
G                      Dsus2
Like the prairies love the plains
Am7                            C
If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
G                       Dsus2
I'll be the wind behind the rain
 
 
[Verse 3]
        G                           D
I wanna see you smiling when you're ninety
         Em7                               Cadd9
And I'll always see you like you are right now
G                            D
All my wild beginnings are behind me
      Em7                               Cadd9
And I know that we can stick it out somehow
 
 
[Verse 4]
      G                                D
Oh, I wanted you the first time that I saw you
        Em7                                Cadd9
In that bar where all my friends left me behind
G                            Dsus2
I wasn't even fishing when I caught you
      Em7                           Cadd9  G Am
But I always had your picture in my mind
 
 
[Chorus]
                    C
I love you like the morning loves the afternoon
G                      Dsus2
Like the prairies love the plains
Am7                            C
If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
G                       Dsus2
I'll be the wind behind the rain
 
 
[Interlude]
G  D  Em  C
G  D  Em  C G Am
 
 
[Chorus]
                    C
I love you like the ocean loves the silver moon
G                      Dsus2
Like Frank and Jesse loved the train
Am                             C
If you leave me now, I'll just come running after you
G                       Dsus2
I'll be the wind behind the rain
 
 
[Outro]
G  Dsus2  Em  Cadd9
G  Dsus2  Em  Cadd9
