Chords

G G/B Cadd9 Dsus D Em7 C B2 B Am7 Cadd9* Am7/D

Intro

E|---3-------/7-------/8-------/10----10----|do 2x

/=slide up

It's a long way from Miami to LA

It's a longer way from yesterday to where I am today

It's a long way from my thoughts to what I'll say

It's a long, long way from paradise to where I am today

Em7 Cadd9*

All that's in my head is in your hands

It's a long way from the moon up to the sun

It's a longer road ahead of me the road that I've begun

Stop to think of all the time I've lost

Stop to think of all the bridges that I've burned that must be

crossed

Over, over, over take me over

Chorus

I've been poison, I've been rain, I've been fooled again

Am7 Am/D?

I've seen ashes shine like chrome, someday I'll see home

Home

Home

strum slower

I can see the stars from way down here

But I can't fall asleep behind the wheel

strum fast again

It's a long way from my shadows in my cave

Up to your reality to watch the sunlight taking over

Over, taking over, take me over

Chorus

For the string part just do G G/B Cadd9 Dsus D 4x

Em7 Cadd9*

All that's in my head is in your hands

Em7 Cadd9*

If it's in my head it's in your hands

Em7 Cadd9*

It's in my head it's in your hands

End chords (they are strange and I don?t know the names of them so just play them like that in that order.)

6. Might Have Been Hur

============================================================================

Intro (with slight distortion) note: I believe that Jon doesn't change the

distortion at all but I don't have the right amp or any dis. pedal to find

out.

D---------------------(6)/7\6-------6-4--------------------

A-7harm----------------------------------------------------

Verse One

E5* E5* D5 D5 /F5*Hold

Chorus

(Guitar and bass share the riff and it's hard to tell if the guitar is playing

the bass notes too because they are octaves so I included bass so you can play

the whole thing all by yourself!) note: keep high notes short and an optional

A5 can be played at the end of the F5* E5* lick instead of hitting the A bass

note

BIG note: Chords with an * after their name means that the chord is to be

played on the A string not the E string.

9. You

============================================================================

There's always something

in the way

There's always something

getting through

but it's not me

it's You, it's You

i find peace when

i'm confused

i find hope when

i'm let down

not in me ... me

in You

it's in you

i hope to lose myself

for good

i hope to find it in the end

not in me ... me

in You

in You

it's all that i know

it's all that i know

it's all that i know

in You

Verse 1:

What's your direction?

Tell me what's wrong, tell me what's right

What's your direction?

Think about somebody else for the night

Life's more than girls

God's more than words

You're more than this

So what's your direction?

And where are you now?

Chorus:

E5 A5 B5 A5 B5 slide E5

Grow, grow where you are, anchor your roots underneath.

Doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs.

Riff 1

Verse 2:

What's your direction?

What matters most?

What should you know?

What's your direction

All that you've been

Makes who you are now

'Cause I've been ashamed

I've been a fool

You know I've backed down

When I lose direction I pray to be found
